In "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Michael Wolff portrays a scene where President Trump, influenced by Stephen Bannon's strong guidance, makes critical decisions without the usual oversight from lawyers and regulatory bodies. This reflects a significant shift in leadership style, where Trump’s approach to governance often involved bypassing established protocols and relying on immediate impulses.

The book highlights the chaotic nature of Trump's administration, revealing how decisions were made rapidly and often without thorough consideration of legal implications. Wolff’s depiction emphasizes a disregard for the traditional mechanisms of governance, pointing to a contentious and unconventional presidency marked by a reliance on a small circle of advisers rather than established institutions.
