Trump has 'alcoholic's personality,' chief of staff says in bombshell interview

21 Sept 07:07 Key points summarised by AI

Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, controversially described him as having an "alcoholic's personality" in a Vanity Fair interview, a characterization Trump himself affirmed, attributing it to his "very possessive personality" despite being teetotal.
Wiles also made other candid remarks, calling Vice President JD Vance a "conspiracy theorist" and tech mogul Elon Musk an "odd, odd duck" and "avowed ketamine user," while criticizing other administration figures.
Wiles dismissed the Vanity Fair piece as a "disingenuously framed hit piece," asserting that crucial context was omitted, a sentiment echoed by several cabinet members who defended her loyalty and performance.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
