DONALD Trump’s disastrous run as US President boils to one thing: he simply doesn’t want the top job.
That’s according to Michael Wolff, the author who has shocked the world with his sensational expose of the “chaotic” life inside Trump’s White House, Fire and Fury.
Earlier today, Wolff caused a storm when he hinted that Trump was conducting an affair.
The journalist told US TV host Bill Maher he was “absolutely sure” of Trump being involved with a woman in the White House but that he dodn’t have the “ultimate truth”.
Packed full of s explosive revelations about the Trump administration, Wolff’s book has been a global bestseller.
The New York journalist famously penned his fly-on-the-wall account after he was given unfettered access to the White House.
“I literally kind of knocked on the door and said, ‘Can I come in?’ and they said, ‘Okay,’” Wolff told NBC.
“And I came in, I sat on the couch, and that’s the point of view I’ve written.”
In an interview with the ABC’s 7.30, Wolff told host Leigh Sales that he believed Trump’s presidency would end badly.
“Donald Trump is a chaotic figure, he is a chaotic mind. He has assembled around him a staff so at odds with one another that it could only be chaotic,” Wolff, speaking from his home in New York, told Sales.
“It’s chaotic because, fundamentally, he has no idea what he’s doing there.”
Wolff said campaign advisers were “flabbergasted” when Trump actually won the US election.
“All of them had planned to lose and all of their lives and careers would actually have been better if they had lost. Winning meant they were exposed,” he said.
“The world could see that they weren’t prepared for this job, they didn’t know how to do this job. In many cases, they didn’t even want to do this job.”
Wolff told the ABC’s 730 that Trump’s presidency would end in tears.
“There is nothing to indicate that Trump is going to find his footing as the President of the United States,” he said.
“That he is going to be able to put a staff around him, a staff that knows what
they’re doing and a staff that he listens to. What’s more, it seems quite clear that he never settle on the goals, attainable goals, that he wants.
And so, therefore, in the end, I think, that the real truth is he does not want to be the President of the United States. He wants to be, instead, Donald Trump. I think those two things are fundamentally contradictory.”
