The View from Mar-a-Lago

Maggie Haberman: “They’re still trying to assess what is happening on a few fronts. One is the political front, which I’d say they were most prepared on.”

“Another is the legal front, which is messy because his team has had a lot of infighting, and there’s finger pointing about why they were so caught off guard. The lawyers also don’t yet know the charges because it’s a sealed indictment.”

“Finally, there is the emotional front. While Trump is not said to be throwing things, he is extremely angry and his family is, not surprisingly, rattled.”

Washington Post: “Trump was not happy, said one person with direct knowledge of his reaction. Others described Trump as ‘upset,’ ‘irritated,’ ‘deflated’ and ‘shocked,’ though some noted that he also remained ‘very calm’ and ‘rather stoic, actually.’”
