I should be so lucky, in effect.

When I pressed her about Trump's

tendency to fall asleep during cabinet meetings.

You may recall the time when Marco Rubio gave a kind of dear leader speech right next to him, and he seemed to be sound asleep.

Susie Wiles insists that

He's closing his eyes.

Period.

Full stop.

He's not sleeping.

Even if it looks to all the world as though he's sleeping, he's actually just closing his eyes.

So when I pressed her about Donald Trump's increasing...

tendency to lash out and verbally abuse women who challenge him.

And in particular, that case where he snapped at a female Bloomberg reporter, quiet piggy.

Her response to that was, he's a counterpuncher.

And increasingly in this world, women are doing the punching.

That was her answer.

Again, Susie Wiles would have you believe that Trump is cognitively fine.

I'd never got any indication from her that she felt any differently.

I just think it's been fascinating because Trump famously or infamously went through four White House chiefs of staff in his first term.

Reince Priebus, John Kelly, and all the others.
