Donald Trump's closest aides privately describe the 80-year-old President as 'post-sexual' and largely alone in his private quarters at the White House, according to investigative journalist Michael Wolff, who has spent nearly two decades chronicling Trump's life and presidency. Speaking about Trump's marriage and daily existence, Wolff claims staff see no evidence of a romantic life and increasingly talk about a 'missing' Melania, whose reluctance to appear beside her husband has fuelled speculation about the state of their relationship.
Wolff is not a casual observer of Trumpworld. He has written four books on the President, most famously Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, which became a New York Times bestseller and helped define the early public image of Trump's administration. At the time, Trump's then-press secretary Sarah Sanders dismissed the book as 'trashy fiction.' Wolff insists he had unusual access, saying he conducted more than 200 interviews with Trump and his inner circle over 18 years. His critics question his methods and flair for drama; his defenders argue that, whatever the embellishments, his core portrait of chaos has repeatedly been borne out.
