Donald Trump is living in 'total absolute isolation' inside the White House, with Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump keeping their distance as he turns 80, according to biographer Michael Wolff in a searing new account of the former president's inner life.
Wolff, writing for The Daily Beast, has tracked Donald Trump and his orbit for years, chronicling both his political rise and his highly theatrical private world. His latest description paints a picture of a man who once thrived on crowds, family branding and tabloid drama now reduced to a strikingly small circle at the heart of the US government he still nominally leads. None of Wolff's most personal claims have been independently corroborated, so they should be treated with caution, but they are consistent with broader reporting about fraying relationships and a shrinking inner circle.
