The president-elect openly displayed his grievances and resentments, indicating that his election did not alter his unrestrained nature. His responses were characterized by emotional outbursts and a lack of filter, reflecting deep-seated wounds and frustrations. This behavior suggested that his approach to leadership would continue to be influenced by personal sentiments rather than a strategic or measured response to his new role.

Author Michael Wolff captures this unvarnished aspect of the president-elect, emphasizing that, despite his new position of power, he remained driven by his past experiences and grievances. This unpredictability raised concerns about how his presidency would unfold, as he seemed incapable of tempering his impulsive reactions and personal feelings even within the political sphere.
