Michael Wolff’s new book “All or Nothing” exposes Trump’s 2024 campaign drama

Of All or Nothing, the publisher writes:

  Michael Wolff tells this story from inside the Trump campaign. Through the sources he has cultivated over his ten years of writing about Donald Trump, including people who are with Trump on a daily basis, as well as his own first-hand reporting, we get a nearly moment-by-moment picture of the pendulum mood swings, the casual cruelties, the demands for obeisance, the preternatural resolve or otherworldly levels of denial, and the certain flashes of showman genius of the new president.

Trump and his team have wasted no time in denouncing the book, branding it “fiction” and accusing Wolff of fabricating sources. However, leaked excerpts from Vanity Fair and The Daily Beast suggest the book may be a closer look into the fractures within Trump’s political empire than the former president would like to admit.

Inside the Campaign: A Man on the Verge of Breaking?

Wolff’s most dramatic revelation suggests that after the July 2024 assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, Trump “seemed possibly on the verge of cracking.” The book alleges:

  He frequently gave up trying to complete sentences; that he turned left when he should have known it was right; that he elided obvious names, repeated himself beyond the one or two allowances, and erupted in rages that, even for him, seemed irrational.

This depiction fuels ongoing speculation about Trump’s mental acuity—already a focal point of his critics. While many in his base dismiss concerns as “fake news,” others within the Republican establishment have privately expressed unease about his fitness for another term.
