Summary #03
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 six-thirty in the evening. If he did not, he would be in his room alone, surrounded by three television screens, eating burgers with cheese and making 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 Sensitive: Psychologically affected by the irony of the media
After the Zucker incident, Trump launched offensive campaigns against all the media attacking him, especially CNN, saying they had always broadcast "false news 100%" and were inventing fictitious stories, asserting that all US presidents had not been subjected to such an attack before The various media, even President Nixon, have not reached the stage of attacking him to this degree, Trump says.
SNL program mimics Trump.
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 mocked him in the bathrobe, This achievement, stressing that this I feel humiliated, because «dignity is very important».
Conflict of races and influence within the corridors of the presidency
The controversial book also highlighted internal tensions in the White House away from Trump, which shifted from headquarters
The frontier is divided into two fronts: the Panunian Front, which includes Steve Bannon, chief adviser to Trump, his followers and supporters within the White House, the Jaffna Front, The name given to the expression of the alliance of Jared Kouchner, son of 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."
