Summary
Tim Alberta of The Atlantic reports low morale and mounting frustration within Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, with some staff expressing “resentment” and even “disgust” toward the candidate.
Once optimistic about Trump’s chances, aides are now worried as the campaign appears to be unraveling in its final stretch. Alberta shared that senior staffers feel exhausted by Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior, with one high-ranking insider admitting they partly hope for his defeat.
The original piece Alberta wrote for the Atlantic is actually amazing. There are a lot, “Trump aides secretly say [blank],” articles that seem like hopium, but this is incredibly detailed and well sourced.
