It's not just Trump, during the last couple of government shutdown crises he's been a merry little goblin clinging to the eaves of every GOP meeting.

So is Robert Costa, like, capable of astral projection or something, because this guy's privy to a downright eerie amount of insider info.

Trump has a reputation for stiffing people who work for him, so people who are in it for the money are deterred from his campaign by that.
Trump's campaign has been widely believed to be a lost cause since the beginning, so people motivated by political ambitions aren't biting.
So that really cuts down on quality campaign staffers.

The biggest problem with the trump campaign tell-all book is that the only people who've been on the ride the whole time have Trump as a last name. The only way we get anything anywhere near the whole story is if someone puts together an Epistolary, or Tiffany goes rogue.

If there is an afterlife, I hope it is one where all that has and will occur can be observed, so that we may witness moments thought lost to time.

Trump's kids won't ever turn on him because they know the minute they do they're out of the family business and out of the will. Donald Jr. and Eric seem to mostly be on board with their dad but I wouldn't be surprised if Ivanka hates her life right now.

I feel like Ivanka is the reason why Trump sometimes sounds coherent. There's no way she's not all in on the campaign.

Granted, the campaign might be tanking her Macy's clothing brand sales, which would suck for her.

Sort of? She's probably the one most concerned about the damage to the "brand", but beyond that, I think she's neutral on the whole thing. She does seem the most pragmatic of his kids though, aside from Tiffany who largely wants nothing to do with it right now (though this has changed, I think?)

Tiffany probably only has a pittance in the will anyway, and lord knows what the actual Trump Family Financials look like. The tell-all would be a guaranteed bestseller and could launch her a career as a pundit.

After Trump's previous lie about his own height, I decided to look up if Eric Trump is really 6'6" like Trump claims in the audio.

He is actually 6'5".

Arguably unethical, but that being said, it's one thing to "not pay any taxes", and entirely different thing to "not pay taxes because you utterly suck at business when your entire image is built around it."

The media fucjing love poo poo like this. It's why smart campaigns release it super early to wear the story out so that it doesn't, for example, crop up a few weeks from the election and drown everything else out

Not really weird, I think. Most everyone in this country knows the wealthy are corrupt and enjoy all sorts of tax breaks, but they don't like being reminded of it. This is a one-two punch of Trump losing almost a billion dollars and not paying taxes for twenty years, both of which are awful optics for Trump.

Also, remember that Trump's big red button is his money. He can excuse most things if he tries, but he always goes ape when someone goes after his finances and especially any suggestion that he's ever lost money or didn't earn his money.
