Heilemann: This Is a ‘Devastating Portrait’ of Trump Essentially as a Child

‘As I say, these are not Democrats, fought liberals, people that want to destroy Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

HEILEMANN: "The number of phrases people around him use for stupid, for a moron, for an idiot, again, the cabinet secretaries, the top people in the White House infantilizing the President of the United States. These are not his political enemies, these are people who work for him. The array of quotations in the book and the assessments all consistent of the closest people to the President working with him as being essentially a child. It’s just that that is a devastating portrait. Again, putting aside questions of Michael Wolff as a journalist, that rings true to people who spent time over the last year talking to people working inside this White House, and that is I think a chilling portrait for a lot of people. As I say, these are not Democrats, these are not liberals, they're not people who want to destroy Donald Trump. They’re the people who are closest to him."
