President Donald Trump is growing “weaker and weaker” by the day, and according to his one-time biographer, this is all being driven by an incurable flaw in his character. <\/p>\n

Michael Wolff is a veteran reporter and author, best known for extensive coverage of Trump’s political career, based on contacts within his inner circle and administration staff. In the latest edition of his Daily Beast podcast, Wolff revealed the essential failing within Trump that is making him weaker on a “daily basis”: his inability and unwillingness to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo things are happening at the same time. Donald Trump is not changing,\u201d Wolff explained. \u201cDonald Trump can\u2019t change. Donald Trump can\u2019t fix the situation that he\u2019s in. Donald Trump doesn\u2019t want to. Donald Trump wants to be Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThat becomes clearer and clearer, which means that the enterprise itself gets weaker and weaker and is, in fact, falling apart. So, we\u2019re dealing with these two things: Donald Trump… and the power that he has, and Donald Trump and the power that he is losing on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolff gave the example of Trump giving major administration jobs to “unfit” people because he believes he can get away with it. He specifically highlighted his nomination of Bill Pulte to be the new director of national intelligence, effectively handing control of the world’s biggest intelligence apparatus to someone with zero relevant experience. <\/p>\n

Wolff claimed to have spoken with someone close to Trump, who gave a simple answer as to why Trump is doing things of that nature.<\/p>\n

“I was talking to a Trump guy \u2014 you know, someone I regard as basically a decent sort about this \u2014 and I was asking how can he hire these people? And this person replied, \u2018To show that he can,\u2019\u201c Wolff said. \u201cIt\u2019s all about him. It\u2019s all about the message that he\u2019s sending. So when he appoints these totally unfit people, it\u2019s a message of control and contempt for rules and standards.”<\/p>\n

Wolff noted later that Trump has a simple message for Republicans, Congress, his administration and the rest of the world with his unceasingly bad nominations: “F\u2014\u2014 you.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is elemental to how he sees his administration and how he staffs his administration: I can appoint this person because I can,” he said.<\/p>\n
