On Saturday, the White House reacted strongly to a New York Times article suggesting that Chief of Staff Susie Wiles had advised Vice President JD Vance to limit his social media engagement. The report claimed that Wiles, along with other officials, believed Vance's online activity was inappropriate for his position. In response, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung categorically denied the report, asserting on social media that the alleged conversation never took place and labeling the story as 'fake news.' Cheung expressed frustration that the Times did not publish their denial. Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz echoed Cheung's sentiments, emphasizing Vance's value to the team and introducing the phrase 'Vance Derangement Syndrome' to characterize the criticism Vance faces. This incident underscores the ongoing debate regarding Vance's social media use, which has drawn mixed reactions, even from conservative circles.
