Other Revelations from the Wolff Book

While press coverage of Michael Wolff's behind-the-scenes account of the Trump White House has focused primarily on Steve Bannon's stunning characterization of a meeting between the Trump campaign and a Russian government-connected attorney as "treasonous" and on Bannon's other indelicate remarks about the Trump family, other revelations from the book about the President are sure to raise eyebrows:

Phone Envy - "Everyone thinks we had to ban phones in the White House to prevent leaks, but actually it was because whenever the President saw someone else with their phone he would throw a tantrum because he was sure it was better than his."

He thinks Tiffany is the Smart One - "God knows we have had a lot of turnover here, and we've had to learn how to deal with it.  For example, we learned that when we suggest names for some new position we needed to include a brief on why his daughter Tiffany would not make a strong candidate.  We've learned further that rather than focus on her lack of training and experience the explanation should stress how she would find the position boring." 

His Greatest Ambition is to get Joe Namath's Autograph - "He's a New Yorker, I get it.  1968.  The Guarantee.  But he's just obsessed.  One day he went on and on about how he'd love Joe Namath's autograph, so Jared says, 'you're the President, why don't you just invite him to the White House?'  Suddenly, he gets all flustered -- he turns even more orange, starts fidgeting with his collar, and mutters nervously, 'Just invite him?  I'm sure he's busy, even wanted to come.  Do you think he wants to come?'"

Briefs - "As in Depends." 

Is in Negotiations for a Cabinet-version of "The Apprentice" - "Why do you think he picked Ben Carson and Betsy DeVos?  Competence?  He just thinks it would be great TV to see them team up for some new wacky assignment every week."

Blames Putin for being elected - "You should hear him sometimes, 'Everything was falling into place.  I'd get O'Reilly's slot to say whatever I want, get paid a fortune, and only have to work an hour a day.  But those stupid Russians wouldn't given up.  I told them, just make it close!'"
