In his book "Siege: Trump Under Fire," Michael Wolff explores the challenges and limitations faced by Donald Trump during his presidency. Trump, initially confident in the powers of the presidency, found himself grappling with the boundaries and expectations of the role. This realization led him to reevaluate his own abilities and the extent of his influence within the governmental structure.

As Trump navigated the complexities of his position, he began to internalize these limitations, viewing them not just as obstacles but as personal shortcomings. This shift in perspective affected his governance and decision-making, contributing to the tumultuous nature of his time in office. Wolff's account highlights the ongoing struggle between presidential authority and the inherent constraints of the political system.
