Doug Wead: I interviewed the Trump family for two years and THIS is what I found

Like others, I have enjoyed reading the titillating, racy stories that have issued forth from bestselling books about the Trump White House. At times I felt nagging pangs of doubt, wondering why the stories always have come from anonymous sources.

Doesn't anyone ever go on record nowadays? And why were so many stories later denied by their cited sources? So when I got the opportunity to write an insider history of the Trump White House I fairly tripped over my own feet to get through the doors.

“Michael Beschloss came to Mar-a-Lago right after I won the election,” the president told me, referring to the bestselling presidential historian. “He kissed my a-- for a week, now he’s on television getting paid money to attack me.”

What I discovered inside the Trump bubble was quite different from what had been reported. No, Melania and Donald were not estranged, they were tender lovers, who playfully teased each other. On almost any subject -- North Korea, China, Mueller -- the president brought up her name.

Publicly, the whole family talks about what a privilege it is to serve the country, but privately they have no illusions about the horror they are going through. The president sometimes eases the tension by teasing the first lady, saying, sarcastically, with puffed up importance, “Melania, honey, look at this incredible journey I have brought you on.”

“It’s like a joke between them,” Lara Trump told me. “Everyone is attacking all of us and she’s smeared for no reason other than pure jealousy and he says, ‘Hon, isn’t this amazing?’

“And she’s like, ‘Oh yeah, thank you so much.’ “It’s hilarious. I love it.”

Michael Beschloss started out a fairly honest, albeit establishment historian. He has become nothing more than another media whore. He and a clutch of other similar so-called historians met after BHO was elected to draw up a guide book containing their refined wisdom. One point was the ‘FDR flim flam’ in which the real object is denied while the goal is slowly moved towards.

Sounds like this will be a book we all want to read. Of coarse it will be 5 more years before he can finish it.

Glad to have seen this story. An antidote for the nastiness I see directed at President Trump every day. MAGA

Don’s life would be much more enjoyable if he did from day
one what other Presidents did, fire all the top few tiers
of leftover folks from the other party’s minions.

Trump got some horrible HR advice, more people that looked
OK on paper but were not in agreement with Don’s goals, style, and in most cases were either Dems, Rinos , NeverTrumpers, or just like McConnell, used to selling out
the base for corporate elites.

Gop hasn’t seen someone who is America first, and they
ain’t in politics for the betterment of the citizenry and country. Just look at them wanting to hire all these Indians, Mexicans, when 11.4 million Americans still are looking for jobs.

Sure many need skills, to get those jobs, but lets put these Americans to the front of the line, not bring in
cheap labor so Mega Rich like Koch can fatten his already
thick wallet.

The most amazing thing about Trump to me is how well grounded he is. And he’s instilled that in his whole family, they have a lot of money but they are just regular folks who act the same way most of us would. Unlike the phony Hollywood, sports, and elitist culture.

Michael Beschloss became an instant farce and had his reputation destroyed in one brief interview on Don Imus’ radio show sometime after Obama was elected in 2008.

I’ll never forget one part of the interview ...

BESCHLOSS: “I would say Barack Obama may have the highest IQ if any U.S. President in history.”

IMUS: “Really? What’s his IQ?”

The dead silence at the other end of the phone marked the end of Michael Beschloss as a serious historian. LOL.

The thing no one mentions is he never makes gaffes when speaking - never.

Bush and Obama were always misspeaking.

Oh you......lol......I think DJT’s flexibility will REALLY extend to punishing corruption rather than protecting it like OdungO did.....yuck!

0bama once used a teleprompter to address a sixth grade school class. That's elocution for you.

>>what he found

that members of the Trump family were more available and willing to be interviewed than Barack Hussein Obama’s grandmother, half-brothers and half-sisters, aunts, and uncles, and high school and college associates?
