The truth about Trump’s miserable Mar-a-Lago Christmas: Wolff

President Donald Trump did not have a merry Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, the 79-year-old president indulged in a Mar-a-Lago dinner with his wife, first lady Melania Trump, and his father-in-law, Victor Naves. He then deleted nearly 150 truthful social posts full of complaints and angry rants instead of spending time with his friends and family.

Trump biographer Michael Wolff joined The Daily Beast’s Joanna Coles Inside Trump’s head Podcast and roast the president’s merry holiday.

“I guess he sat up in bed and went crazy,” Wolfe joked.

For Coles, Wolff and many social media viewers, Trump’s Christmas Eve seemed lonely and miserable as Melania spoke excitedly to her father while Trump stared blankly into space.

“What was striking about the videos people posted from the event was how animated our first lady looked with her father, when we’re not used to seeing him remotely animated,” Coles noted.

“And just to set the scene, they’re on the Mar-a-Lago terrace. I imagine it’s about 75 degrees,” Wolfe added. “It’s full of other members. We’re in high season right now, actually. And why these people aren’t celebrating Christmas Eve with their families, we can only guess.”

Wolff noted how detached Trump seemed from the celebrations around him.

“Donald Trump is where he always is: in the middle of the table, with a red rope around his table. It’s confusing why he has this red rope around his table, because the table is at the center of everything,” he said.

“Maybe it’s like a tip of the hat to Melania,” Coles said. “It gives him a kind of girth that you don’t have to bend around.”

“Everybody on the roof comes up to him, it’s not like he’s saying, ‘Stay away.’ Actually, it’s ‘come a little closer,’ which is what the rope means,” Wolfe added.

Although Wolff and Coles painted a grim picture of Trump’s tragic Christmas Eve, their view of his Christmas morning was even more somber.

“I think he was watching television, wasn’t he?” Mused Coles. “He wakes up, and his bank of televisions are still on because he hadn’t turned them off the night before, until someone slipped into his room and turned them off for him.”

“He’s at the White House, or he’s at Mar-a-Lago,” Wolfe added. “And I think they’re both very, very similar. I think he makes these things look basically the same, and he does the same thing.”

Wolff suggested that Trump, who was isolated on Christmas Eve and spent all night at the Truth Social, probably spent his Christmas morning asking people to talk to him about themselves.

“What is the most important thing for Donald Trump? What is his lifeline?” asked Wolff. “The call. He calls. He takes the call, and he calls. You know, he gets the phone, and he says, ‘What’s going on? How’s it ringing?’ Which is an invitation to talk about him.

Asked to comment on Trump’s Christmas activities, the White House ignored the question and repeated the same comments it has given for many. Inside Trump’s head Episodes.

The comment, attributed to White House communications director Steven Cheung, read, “Michael Wolff is a lying sack of st and a proven fraud. He regularly makes up stories that arise from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has serious and debilitating cases of Trump that involve Trump’s brain.”
