Yesterday, the U.S. media "Vanity Fair" published a ten-thousand-word report on White House Chief of Staff Wells, whose public criticism of figures such as Trump and Musk caused a stir. Wells claimed that Trump has an alcoholic personality, Vice President Vance is a conspiracy theorist for a decade, and Musk is a strange duck who uses ketamine. He also revealed serious divisions within the Trump administration regarding tariff policies. Surprisingly, the White House quickly supported Wells. Trump not only admitted to his own personality traits but also praised him for doing a good job. Several cabinet members and Republican officials also voiced their support. Wells, however, accused the report of malicious attacks, but did not deny the comments. Privately, White House insiders and Republicans were deeply shocked, questioning Wells' decision to speak to an unfriendly media. Currently, Trump is facing low poll numbers and rising unemployment, and this incident has further intensified external doubts about his leadership.
[Sarcastic] The absurdity of the White House Christmas play has started early! Can you criticize the president and still be supported? This move is really impressive. Wells' rant at the White House has become the political farce of the year—calling the president an alcoholic, criticizing the vice president as a conspiracy theorist for a decade, mocking Musk as a strange duck, and damaging all the core circles of the White House. Yet, instead of being fired, he received full support from everyone. Trump personally accepted the personality label, which is more absurd than a TV drama! It was clearly a diatribe against an unfriendly media, yet it was falsely claimed to be taken out of context; privately, officials were stunned, yet in public, they all acted like good brothers. In short, this is not criticism, but rather a different kind of hype by the Trump administration during its low poll numbers and internal and external crises—using self-deprecation to attract attention and divert focus with absurdity. Wells dared to speak so freely because he had accurately grasped Trump's pulse: compared to loyalty, he values more those who can create topics and stand out. This farce reveals the truth of the American political arena: catering without principles is more popular than opposing with principles. As for policies and people's livelihoods, they have long been left far behind by this absurd drama!
