worried? well, i would make two points, number one, president trump is famous for a sort of slow buildup and a number of past cases, he doesn t respond initially. but after he absorbs the coverage for a few day s we have a lot of conversations that were had in the days, weeks and months after january 6th. some of which we have not reported yet. in this book that s out may 3rd. so i think it may be premature to guess how president trump is going to fully respond to this book when he hasn t seen only but a couple of passages. good point. some of the loudest voices in trump world isn t going to step up and slam mccarthy.
right. you can t. first of all, trump is famous. he started out with a higher name but he has tapped into something that we can t dismiss. if we were able to dismiss it he would plummet like a rock. what we are seeing is really not the case. i don t think you can dismiss this as just sort of, okay, it s donald trump, he s here for five minutes and then he s gone. he has been here for more than five minutes. this is a problem the republican party has. this poll though this poll could be showing us something though. i think it just needs to be tested to see that s what you want to see if there are more polls that support what we re seeing in this final day of this washington post pole. the key to understanding is the if you think about the last several republican races, 2008 john mccain, mike huckabee was the blue color tea party
he s a salesman. this is it. michael is right. trump knows how to promote his brand. no matter what you say, whatever facts you present to him, they mean nothing because he ll come back and say, yeah, i just lost all this money on those casinos, which is not easy to do, a gambling casino, for pete sake, but they were paying me for my genius. it s totally contradictory but he says it with such great determination that it does have enough appeal for him to tie with mike huckabee first place among republican candidates right now. and that s the real story is what this says about the republican lineup. i think that s a phony story. i think this is all based on name recognition a year and a half out, a year out, six months out. trump is famous. right. when people hear the name it s someone they understand or know a personality that they re familiar with. i think that s just an excuse for the media to do more frivolous coverage of it. michael wolff. well, i think it s actually pa
