The book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff describes how, during moments of significant political stress, the subject of the book exhibited behavior that many perceived as irrational. These instances were marked by intense anger, during which he became isolated and unapproachable. His senior staff often navigated these turbulent times by aligning with his views, regardless of the situation.

Hope Hicks, in particular, never wavered in her support and consistently agreed with his opinions without hesitation. This dynamic highlights the challenges and complexities of working within a high-pressure political environment, where dissenting voices were often silenced to maintain harmony among the staff during difficult periods.
