‘Future Former Chief of Staff’
Vanity Fair published a revealing report on Tuesday, featuring interviews with President Trump’s top advisers.
Jimmy Kimmel called the story “an early gift from the White House and Vanity Fair,” particularly for “a doozy of an interview with members of Trump’s inner circle, including future former chief of staff, Susie Wiles.”
“Trump is said to be so close with Susie Wiles that last week, he called her ‘Susie Trump.’ And I hope the new Mrs. Trump got a prenup, because her husband definitely does not like this interview she did.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“They call her ‘the ice maiden,’ but things got hot and melted down today after she spilled the beans on her unbalanced boss and his league of lowlifes at the White House.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“According to Wiles, as part of her job, she keeps a free-standing video monitor next to the fireplace in her West Wing office with a live feed of Trump’s social media posts. So there’s fire and a constant stream of Trump’s social media posts? Are you sure that’s your office? ’Cause it sounds like hell to me.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“So for the last 11 months, we have watched Trump politicize the Justice Department in unprecedented ways to go after his political enemies, like James Comey and Letitia James. But Wiles assured the interviewer that Trump is not constantly thinking about retribution. But she also said, ‘in some cases, it may look like retribution, and there may be an element of that from time to time. Who would blame him? Not me.’ OK, then I’ll do it. Donald Trump, I blame you!” — STEPHEN COLBERT
The Punchiest Punchlines (Like Father, Like Son Edition)
“Meanwhile, I read that Donald Trump Jr. just got engaged. Yeah, Trump was, like, ‘Congrats, the third engagement’s always the best.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“I think we just figured out why daddy’s building that ballroom, huh?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“According to People magazine, Bettina is an advocate for a foundation that funds research for the treatment of depression, which is something she will definitely need being married to Donald Trump Jr.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Don Jr. was previously engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle, but one of the many perks of your dad being president is he can just make your ex the ambassador to Greece and send her far, far away.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
