Many of President Trump’s high-level staff members believe the special counsel’s Russia investigation will lead to his resignation or impeachment before his first term is over, according to the new explosive book on the White House and presidential campaign.
Journalist and author Michael Wolff’s book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” which was released Friday, claims insiders were dumbfounded by the president’s “inability to grasp how much Mueller had on him and his family,” GQ reports.
“Whatever the substance of the Russia ‘collusion,’ Trump, in the estimation of his senior staff, did not have the discipline to navigate a tough investigation, nor the credibility to attract the caliber of lawyers he would need to help him,” Wolff wrote. According to the book, Trump’s White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told colleagues that the president has a one-in-three chance of surviving his first full term.
Wolff wrote, “Everybody was painfully aware of the increasing pace of his repetitions. It used to be inside of 30 minutes he’d repeat, word-for-word and expression-for-expression, the same three stories—now it was within 10 minutes. Indeed, many of his tweets were the product of his repetitions—he just couldn’t stop saying something.”
