Trump biographer says president believes his own hype — and it could sink the GOP
President Donald Trump’s biographer Michael Wolff delivered a blunt warning this week, arguing that Trump’s genuine belief in his own rosy economic rhetoric has trapped him in a “reality bubble” that could doom Republicans in the midterms. Speaking at a Daily Beast live event after hearing Trump address global leaders at Davos, Wolff said he was struck by the realization that the president truly believes the economy is thriving — despite polling showing most Americans feel it’s getting worse and disapprove of Trump’s handling of inflation. Wolff predicted the disconnect will cost Republicans their razor-thin House majority, possibly put the Senate in play, and leave the GOP politically damaged, as Trump prioritizes “the Trump show” over the party, driven by what Wolff described as a loyal fan base rather than a traditional political movement.
