The book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff reveals an unspoken consensus among many that Donald Trump should not have been president and, indeed, probably shouldn't be. This sentiment allowed individuals in the political and social elite to avoid confronting the complexities and challenges of his presidency. By agreeing on Trump's unfit nature for the role, they created a convenience that precluded the need for deeper discussions on governance and leadership.

This perspective illustrates a broader issue regarding the acceptance of Trump's presidency by those around him. Many recognized the detrimental implications of his leadership style and policies but preferred to remain silent, thus sidestepping accountability. Such an unspoken agreement could indicate a complicity in the administration’s direction, raising questions about the responsibilities of those who witness leadership failings yet choose not to act or speak out against them.
