White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is so worried that Donald Trump is being fed a rosy picture of his Iran war that she has privately urged his inner circle to stop telling the president what he wants to hear, and start telling him what he needs to hear, Time magazine reported Thursday.
Wiles, who is battling breast cancer while managing a chaotic West Wing, grew alarmed after Trump's own pollster Tony Fabrizio delivered a brutal reality check that the war cratered in public opinion as gas prices topped $4 a gallon and stock markets tumbled to multi-year lows. To boot, millions of Americans were preparing to protest.
Wiles told colleagues to be "more forthright with the boss" about the political and economic catastrophe unfolding around him, two White House sources told Time.

(55,539 posts)I don't buy that she wasn't all in on providing the rosy picture and is only now "alarmed" because the facts are so dire for her party, she wants to be able to say she tried to get the 'facts' to the President.
Rats, sinking ship and all that.
