In "Siege: Trump Under Fire," author Michael Wolff discusses how the individuals surrounding Trump were not just political operatives carrying out strategies, but rather fervent supporters who believed in his vision. This distinction highlights how Trump's appeal relied on loyalty and conviction rather than mere pragmatism.
Wolff emphasizes that this dynamic played a crucial role in shaping Trump's administration and the decisions made during his presidency. The commitment of these believers influenced the political landscape and the direction of policies, illustrating a unique aspect of Trump's leadership style that prioritized emotion and belief over conventional political maneuvering.
