| 7e9a10b | Trump needed to surround himself with the dysfunctional and the inept, because he was dysfunctional and inept. | Michael Wolff | ||

| f8f8ef7 | The more acute the stress, the more active the leakers, the bigger the story. | Michael Wolff | ||
| 84e8509 | resisters, working in the Trump White House, who had come to see themselves as patriots protecting the country from the president they worked for. | Michael Wolff | ||
| 2eb0b86 | Real estate was the world's favorite money-laundering currency, | Michael Wolff | ||
| 8644f23 | Trump as the man nearly everyone knew him to be: erratic, unfocused, impetuous, likely not of sound mind. | Michael Wolff | ||
| 0741464 | and even Trump treated him rather like a dog who kept creeping back into the house. | Michael Wolff | ||
| 810b61d | Fooling some of the people all of the time defined Trump's hard-core base. | Michael Wolff | ||
| df38c79 | To have worked anywhere near him is to be confronted with the most extreme and disorienting behavior possible. That is hardly an overstatement. Not only is Trump not like other presidents, he is not like anyone most of us have ever known. | Michael Wolff | ||
| 60f110c | son. The aide went on giddily talking about the special bond golfing dads have with their sons until it was clear that he was getting the Trump freeze--an ability to pretend you didn't exist while at the same time intimating that he might kill you if you did. By contrast, Melania's singular focus was her son. Together, mother and son occupied a bubble inside the Trump bubble. She assiduously protected Barron from his father's remoteness.

| 0ea4f79 | He had little doubt that Trump was guilty of most of what he was accused of. "How did he get the dough for the primary and then for the general with his 'liquidity' issues?" asked Bannon with his hands out and his eyebrows up. "Let's not dwell." | Michael Wolff | ||

He insisted that the White House operate more like the Trump Organization, an enterprise dedicated to his satisfaction and committed to following and covering for his peripatetic and impulsive interests. Trump's management practices were entirely self-centered, not task-oriented or organizationally based. An ou.. | Michael Wolff | ||

| 98787cc | From the earliest successes of the Nazi movement, even before 1933, he expressed his repugnance of Nazi excesses, and he continued to do so after 1933, despite repeated German protests at his articles and speeches. | Martin Gilbert | ||
