Olivia Nuzzi looks at the “most disorganized, unscrupulous, self-sabotaging presidential campaign since the last one.”
Especially interesting is a quote from a White House official on former campaign manager Brad Parscale’s role: “Brad was willing to do whatever Jared said and keep quiet about it. Brad was willing to get yelled at by the president and not say to the president, ‘Well, actually, this was Jared’s decision.’ And Jared got to rule from afar because Brad would do whatever he said. In return, Brad made a fuck-ton of money and got to live by the pool in Florida. It was almost like this weird mutual partnership, whether they knew it or not.”
Nuzzi adds: “The portrait of the operation that emerged was so dysfunctional that I felt, at times, like I needed to hire a family therapist to moderate my interviews.”
The whole piece is worth reading.
