In an internal memo circulated to roughly a dozen Trump advisors\u2026 the president\u2019s pollster, Tony Fabrizio, summarized findings from two nights of focus groups conducted earlier in March\u2026 The results were bracing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the bad polling news, Haberman and Swan wrote, was increasingly lost on the president. He seemed less concerned by them than he had in the past. <\/p>\n<p>The latest Times\/Siena poll puts Trump\u2019s approval rating at around 39 percent, on a slow and steady downward spiral since his inauguration last year. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo the extent he still cared about polling at all, he was seeing far fewer polls than during his first term,\u201d Swan and Haberman wrote. \u201cHis advisors knew he was not receptive to being briefed on harsh realities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2061\">Justice Flames SCOTUS Giving Trump a \u2018Blank Check\u2019 on Green Cards<\/a><\/p>\n<p>They continued: \u201cIn his second term, unlike his first, he was willing to take breathtaking risks, risks that could throw not only his presidency but the Republican Party and the entire world into chaos and carnage. More than ever before as President, he was operating on pure gut instinct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with MS NOW ahead of the book\u2019s release, Swan and Haberman shed some light on the White House\u2019s ability to keep a secret. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing that was really notable about this White House, compared to the first one, is they keep talking about how they\u2019re the most transparent White House in history,\u201d Swan said. \u201cIt\u2019s a canard. They\u2019re actually incredibly good at keeping secrets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake the war, for example,\u201d he continued, referring to the conflict with Iran. \u201cYou have a tiny group of people that are running this country, five or six people and Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Treasury secretary of the United States, the energy secretary\u2014the two people who would have to handle the biggest oil shock in world history\u2014they weren\u2019t in the room. They weren\u2019t in the meetings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Swan noted of former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard: \u201cNot in the room. You are talking about a tiny group of people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the book they revealed the names of people who were in the room two days before the first bombs were dropped on Iran: Trump, Vice President JD Vance, chief of staff Susie Wiles, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, White House counsel David Warrington, White House communications director Steven Cheung, press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Swan and Haberman also write that Trump superglued gold-colored appliqu\u00e9s to the walls of the Oval Office himself. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2059\">Trump Suffers New Green Slime Humiliation<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The halls of the White House are alive with aides\u2019 whispers about President Donald Trump\u2019s terrible polling.
