At points on the day's spectrum of adverse political developments, he could have moments of, almost everyone would admit, irrationality. When that happened, he was alone in his anger and not approachable by anyone. His senior staff largely dealt with these dark hours by agreeing with him, no matter what he said. And if some of them occasionally tried to hedge, Hope Hicks never did. She agreed absolutely with all of it.
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.
