In Michael Wolff's book "Siege: Trump Under Fire," he explores the dynamics of Donald Trump's inner circle and his supporters. He suggests that many of these individuals aligned with Trump not necessarily due to their strong qualifications or widespread appeal but because they lacked opportunities in other political or professional environments. This implies that Trump attracted people who were either marginalized or overlooked by mainstream politics.
Wolff's perspective highlights the unique climate of Trump's administration, where loyalty and a shared sense of being outsiders played a crucial role. The author argues that this aspect contributed to both the fervor of support Trump received and the chaotic atmosphere within his administration, as many of those involved were driven more by their personal stakes than by conventional political ambition.
