Will the New Trump Stick? [View all]
September 9, 2017 at 10:57 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
A Trump adviser tells Mike Allen that after a tumultuous seven months in office, it had finally dawned on the president: “People really fucking hate me.”
“For someone who has spent his life lapping up adulation, however fake, it was a harsh realization. This is a man with an especially acute need for affirmation. This week’s bear hug of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer opened Trump’s eyes to one solution: Stop doing things that people hate, and start striking deals.”
An important point: “But we can’t overstate the level of despair among Republicans.”
