In Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," the dynamics within a small campaign team reflect a sense of realism about their chances. The members of this team believed they had a pragmatic understanding of the political landscape, maintaining a shared belief that Donald Trump would not win the presidency. This perspective fostered an environment where they felt assured about their mission without confronting the moral implications of Trump's candidacy.

This unspoken consensus allowed them to focus on the campaign itself, as it relieved them from the responsibility of contemplating whether Trump should actually hold the office. It highlights the complexities of political deliberation, where personal convictions and actual outcomes may align, allowing the team members to navigate their roles without fully grappling with the broader consequences of their support for Trump.
