He defended himself by ridiculing others.
In "Siege: Trump Under Fire," Michael Wolff explores the tumultuous presidency of Donald Trump, shedding light on his controversial strategies for handling criticism. One notable aspect is Trump's tendency to deflect scrutiny by ridiculing his opponents and critics. This defensive mechanism not only serves to divert attention away from his own flaws but also engages his base by reinforcing a sense of loyalty against perceived adversaries.
Wolff's portrayal suggests that this approach, while effective in rallying support, contributes to further polarization within American society. By mocking others, Trump creates a combative political environment where dialogue is often replaced by ridicule, impacting the overall landscape of political discourse in the country.
