Almost all the professionals who were now set to join him were coming face to face with the fact that it appeared he knew nothing. There was simply no subject, other than perhaps building construction, that he had substantially mastered.
In Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," professionals preparing to work with Trump were struck by the reality of his limited knowledge. They realized that, aside from a few specific areas, particularly construction, he seemed to lack a deep understanding across most topics they expected a leader to grasp. This led to concerns about his qualifications and ability to effectively govern.
The professionals' encounter with Trump's apparent ignorance highlighted a significant gap in his expertise, raising questions about his preparedness for the high-stakes environment of the White House. As they reflected on his capabilities, it became clear that his lack of mastery in essential subjects could impact decision-making and the overall functioning of his administration.
