...it certainly throws a lot of fuel on the fire of the notion that no one in the Trump camp had any ability to run a presidential campaign and that someone else was.
Who do you suppose that could have been?

(71,991 posts)Wolff spent hours at a time in private areas of the West Wing, according to Axios, where he recorded dozens of hours of tapes with a variety of sources, and hosted a dinner for six that included White House strategist Steve Bannon and former Fox News chief Roger Ailes, whose conversations are quoted at length in the book.

(22,037 posts)From the excerpts released so far, Trump's White House is everything we've expected and less. Every one of the people in Trump's administration are unqualified or compromised.
They are a ship of fools and criminals without a functioning captain. Is that so hard to believe?
