At first Trump is thinking of running
When Donald Trump decided to run for the presidency, he sought to make his old friend «Eugene Roger Eales» former chief executive officer of the company «Fox News», president of his campaign.
He was in a difficult position, resigned in July 2016 from his executive position in Fox News, but nevertheless did not agree with Trump's offer, arguing that Trump was not advising, or even listening to, but the truth The secret is that Elz sees him as a "rebel without a clear cause," as he put it, especially since Elz was convinced that Trump had no political point of view or solid ground on which to campaign, nor was he qualified to play any political role, or even Participate in any political program, according to Eels.
After a week of Eales rejected the post of media advisor to Trump, Trump commissioned «Steve Bannon» that the impossible task, which he regretted Roger Eales later entering the Trump White House.
The author of the book, Michael Wolf, speaks of Trump's goal of running for president, noting that Trump's campaign and advisers, himself, did not expect success and access to power, but they carefully calculated their steps for loss. It tells about the former Trump campaign assistant Sam Nunberg and his question Why did he want to become president? The current president's answer was: "I will become the most famous man in the world." Wolff points out that Trump's candidacy was the real gain. The loss was also a win. In both cases, he would gain the fame he sought. Trump told his friend Elles that he would come out of the campaign with undefined opportunities and a reputation for his brand. "I do not think about losing, because loss itself is a gain, all this is greater than I ever dreamed of."
"Trump is the world's most famous man as he wished, and a prelude to Hillary Clinton. His daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared will be handed over from unknown wealthy people to world celebrities and brand ambassadors," Wolf said.
JERUSALEM - The capital of Israel has been on the Trump agenda since the first day of author Michael Woolf talks about the night of the dinner that saw Trump rise to power in the United States. Steve Bannon and Roger Ellis met under one roof discussing Trump and his understanding of the reality of his new status.
It was a question that Elles said: "Does the flamboyant billionaire Trump absorb his new agenda as a right-wing man in power?" Bannon hesitated before answering yes, insisting that Trump was following a program. Jerusalem, and to rally Israeli support for Trump's policies from the first day. Netanyahu and the Israeli billionaire Sheldon Adelson strongly support Trump: "We know our destination well." So Bannon responded to Roger Ellis, and when Elz questioned the possibility of Trump knowing that plan, Wink followed by one word: approx. Trump on his visit to occupied Jerusalem.
Let Jordan take the West Bank, let Egypt take Gaza, let them deal with it, or drown as they try. * Steve Bannon.
This is how Bannon talked about the future plan for the Great Middle East crisis in Palestine, adding that both Saudi Arabia and the Egyptian state are at the edge of the abyss, even afraid of their feet from Persia, referring to Iranian expansion in the Arab region, that region of the threats in the Sinai, Yemen, Libya, Russia is the key to all of this, though the Russians are bad, the world is full of bad guys. An ambiguous relationship with Putin The author points out that Trump is not able to perform the main tasks in his new job, explaining that his mind is unable to adapt his behavior to the objectives required by the job; lack of linkage between cause and effect, and the biggest evidence of this is the accusation that followed On the Trump agreement with the Russians in order to win the election, which made him even ridiculed by his friends.
"Even if he does not personally conspire with the Russians to win the election, his hard-line efforts to choose Vladimir Putin from among all the people, to win his hand, will undoubtedly leave worrying reactions, which will be paid politically later," he warned. To take things seriously. Trump's White House Plan For Trump's employees, Trump's younger sons, Erick, and Qusay and Uday were Saddam Hussein's sons. Trump sought to be a family empire, or so he imagined.
Trump sought to make his sons two poles in the White House, or at least carry his banner in his business empire, one that fulfills the wishes of the father to inherit personal appearance and sales skills, and the other depends on daily management issues. Trump's plan, ) Is to rely on his billionaire friend Tom Barak, one of Trump's closest confidants and real estate workers. Woolf points out that Trump was not interested in the day-to-day management, which he did not tell his friend at the time, In the White House administration, saying : "Barak would have run the White House and, as in real estate, Trump would try to sell it all by making the United States stronger again." But Trump's plan failed, and with his surprise success in the election, the success was like winning the lottery. Barak refrained from answering Trump's calls until he finally declared that he would not be able to complete it, explaining that Tom was not ready to become his personal life. At that time, the world's eyes were on Trump's side, especially after his fourth marriage.
Trump was the lifeline of Trump at that stage, the husband of his daughter, Jared Kouchner, who surrounded himself with his own family, playing a role for each of them in the White House, similar to his role in the Trump Empire. This made Ann Coulter, a right-wing member of Trump, No one will tell you this, but do not appoint your children to public office. "This was opposed by Trump, arguing that he had the right to ask his children for help whenever he needed to.
Trump seeks the support of media tycoon Murdoch The Trump Tower was the place where his campaign was run, in which he held his lavish performances among the rich and famous, and all the time he expected the billionaire and right-wing media tycoon Robert Murdoch to attend, expecting he could use it In favor of his campaign, describing him as the greatest qualities. This was before December 14, when a high-level delegation from a group of global technology companies Apple, Facebook and Google came to visit Trump in his own tower after Trump repeatedly criticized the technology industry during "After eight years, these men were Obama's men, they did not need to help you," he said. .
Trump and the media: an endless war
Wolf refers to Trump's hostility to the media, citing CNN's incident and accusing Trump of promoting false news, adding that his use of social media and his response to the media was shocking to the public. Even his closest staff to defend him, which in the opinion of his former adviser Bannon an indication that he never changed, noting that the media did not like Trump days, and will not love him, which is not important for the supporters of Trump, and what was done on this of his advisers is An attempt to contain Trump's offensive style, which, according to him, is the best From trying to qualify him to talk to the media.
"Trump is not adhering to a specific text," Pannon said, pointing out that Trump's mind does not operate in such a rational way. Trump knows very well that he will not get the support of the media, which essentially drives them to resist.
The first days of the White House
The book talks about the first days of Trump in the White House; a theory developed among Trump's friends that he did not act alone in the presidency from the start; he always uses his friends to make his decisions, despite the announcement from the early days on his personal account on Twitter, That he will not follow any dictates from anyone, and that he will not follow the same path as the presidents before him.
Although most of the American presidents who had arrived at the White House before, their social backgrounds were middle class and most of them lived a relatively simple life, so they felt a sudden change when they moved to the White House and were surprised by the service, the heightened security and the plane was always ready, It was not the case with Trump; the life and features of the White House were not so different from Trump's life in Trump Tower. His life before the presidency was more comfortable than that in the White House, so he felt no change about it, As it is, the presidency has not been a major shift A, or a gain with respect to the financial aspects of it.
Trump was therefore angry at the architecture and the creation of the White House because of his long experience in hotel management as well as the crisis of the famous cockroaches and rodents in the White House. "Why did not Trump request the restructuring of the White House from within?" Asked his friends.
From the Trump Tower to the White House
The first time since the days of Kennedy's rule in which the president and his wife were in two separate rooms , Although Melania spent a few days at the White House.
Strangely enough, Trump also asked for two television screens in his own room, in addition to a third screen that was basically there, and he ordered the door to be closed, and no one entered him when he was inside, which caused him a problem with personal security elements who asserted that they had the right In entering his room at any time to secure it. Trump also imposed a set of new rules in the White House, no one touching anything that belonged to him, even if he was brushing his teeth; he was always obsessed with the fear of poisoning; that was why he was always hesitant about restaurants because they would not know about him. Attempts to assassinate him and poison him.
"If my shirt is lying on the ground, it's because I want it," Trump said, rebuking a maid on one occasion. "When he needs something he will ask the maids and he will set his own bed," he said.
Trump always sat with Steve Bannon, eating lunch every day at 6:30 pm If he did not do so, he would be in his room alone, surrounded by three television screens, eating burgers with cheese, and a number of phone calls with officials or a small number His friends, including his friend Tom Barak, who always told him about his levels of popularity and his decline or progress over time.
If Trump was not with Bannon, or making a phone call in his room, he was browsing social media; the phone was his real contact with the outside world.
Trump is psychologically affected by media cynicism. After the Zucker incident, Trump launched offensive campaigns against all the media that attacked him, especially CNN, saying they had always broadcast "false news 100%" and were inventing fictitious stories, asserting that all presidents Americans have not been subjected to such an attack by various media, even President Nixon, has not reached the stage of attack on him to this degree, Trump says.
Trump also spoke extensively about the SNL program, saying that what they were doing was just "trivial comedy," and that their cynicism did not make the American people laugh, but rather saddened and hurt them. The book added that Trump on the same day that Mexican workers were prevented from entering the United States, thus saving 700 million dollars a year was wasted, and provided millions of jobs for the American people, the media was mocking him in the bathrobe, This achievement, stressing that this I feel humiliated, because «dignity is very important».
Conflict of races and influence
In the corridors of the presidency, the controversial book also highlighted internal tensions in the White House away from Trump, which was transformed from a presidential seat to a "conflict between Jews and non-Jews." The writer divided the White House staff into two fronts: , Which includes Steve Bannon, Trump's chief adviser, his followers and supporters within the White House, and the Javanka Front, the name given to the expression of Jared Kouchner's brother-in-law Trump and his wife Ivanka Trump.
The writer stressed that there was a long struggle between the two fronts during the last year in which Trump was ruled by the United States, which Wolf described as the ethnic and religious tensions that inhabited the White House between the two fronts, using the words of Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State under President Nixon, The hostility between Kouchner and Banon is like a war between Jews and non-Jews.
Trump expects things to be easy. When Bannon warned him of the FBI's James Coomy, Trump's response was simple: "Do not worry, I caught him", believing that a little bit of courting a person like the head of the FBI could change his attitude and feelings toward Trump.
The book indicates that Trump on January 27 asked Koomi to stay with him in the office after everyone was removed from him. He was offered to remain in his post as director of the Federal Office, and in his simple sense of understanding, I believe that with this generous offer - For Comy in office - will push Komi to leave his investigations, as Trump supported him will support him in return. In the beginning, Pannon was pushing to expel Kumi, but Trump completely ignored him. But the story of the Russian intervention in the elections went public until Trump started to boil because of him. At one meeting, Trump Koomi described the mouse as falling. This time, Bannon's position differed, and he told the president that dismissing Kumi in such a circumstance would turn Russia's story, a "third-rate story," according to Pannon, "the world's biggest story." Kouchner, the arch-rival of Bannon, . Trump with his close aides
