Trump Urged Supporters to Protest

Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money trial.
In the book All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America, Michael Wolff wrote about Donald Trump's attempt to raise the prospect of civil unrest due to his impending arrest in connection with the hush money trial.
The Apprentice alum, indeed, notably called for a protest via a social media post, saying he was expecting to be taken into custody.
"IT'S TIME!!!" Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time.
He raged: "WE JUST CAN'T ALLOW THIS ANYMORE. THEY'RE KILLING OUR NATION AS WE SIT BACK & WATCH. WE MUST SAVE AMERICA! PROTEST, PROTEST, PROTEST!!!"
Trump Feared for His Life While on Jeffrey Epstein's Plane

Trump feared he would die while on Jeffrey Epstein's old plane.
One of the book's biggest revelations was Trump's fear of dying aboard Jeffrey Epstein's old plane, which his campaign staff rented after Trump Force One broke down.
"I'm going to die on Jeffrey Epstein's plane!" Trump "howled," the excerpt obtained by The Daily Beast read.
According to Wolff, the controversial president had a "white-knuckle, head-banging lurches. Stomach-dropping turbulence" journey with "sudden stone-falling drops in altitude and air pressure."
The author continued: "People were actually praying. Then, in the middle of it all, a report tracking the Trump team's peregrinations identified that they were riding on the former plane of Trump's old friend, the infamous sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein."
Trump Wanted a Female VP

Trump tapped J.D. Vance as his running mate.
Instead of J.D. Vance, Trump reportedly aimed to have a female vice president in his administration.
Although he was eyeing Maria Bartiromo or Harris Faulkner, he ended up with the Marine Corps veteran.
"Elon Musk told Trump his support for the ticket was contingent on Trump's picking Vance," Wolff explained in the book, as quoted by The Daily Beast.
Previously, Trump told NBC Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker he "likes the concept" of having a woman by his side in the White House job, but he wanted "to pick the best person."
He Was 'Bewildered' by Elon Musk's Bizarre Behavior

Elon Musk is serving as a 'special government employee' under Trump's administration.
Trump allegedly had a "what the f---?" moment after he saw Musk jumping for joy during a campaign rally in October 2024.
"What the f--- is wrong with this guy?" a baffled Trump reportedly reacted to the SpaceX mogul's behavior. "And why doesn't his shirt fit?"
Musk, at the time, was wearing an "Occupy Mars" shirt, which got lifted when he raised his hands as he awkwardly leaped on stage.
Trump Was 'on the Verge of Cracking'

The attempted assassination of Trump happened in Pennsylvania in July 2024.
In the excerpt shared by The Daily Beast, Wolff said Trump "seemed possibly on the verge of cracking" after the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania and before his Madison Square rally.
The journalist wrote: "(Trump) frequently gave up trying to complete sentences; that he turned left when he should have known it was right; that he elided obvious names, repeated himself beyond the one or two allowances, and erupted in rages that, even for him, seemed irrational."
How He Allegedly Responded After Joe Biden's Disastrous Debate

Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 U.S. presidential election and endorsed Kamala Harris as his replacement following his debate with Trump.
Per Wolff, Trump theorized the Democrats orchestrated Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance as "an elaborate plot to s---- (Biden) and thereby s---- him" since they wanted him to drop out of the presidential election race.
In response to the claims in All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America, Trump shared a post on Truth Social, calling Wolff's new book "a total FAKE JOB, just like the other JUNK he wrote."
Trump cried: "He called me many times trying to set up a meeting, but I never called him back because I didn't want to give him the credibility of an interview.
"I am one who believes in commenting about FAKE NEWS, or made up stories, even if you have to 'punch low,' and shouldn't be wasting the time required to do so."
How Trump and Laura Loomer Met

Trump and Laura Loomer previously sparked dating rumors.
Wolff said a female campaign aide – former One America News Network anchor Natalie Harp – was the "reliable nutter conduit" to Trump.
According to the book, Harp introduced Trump to conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, whom she invited into the campaign's inner circle "to pal around" him.
"(Loomer) was entertaining to Trump and an adept flatterer. There was almost no furthest extreme, straining-the-bounds-of-all-credulity, right-wing conspiracy theory she had not adopted and aggressively promoted," said Wolff.
Wolff also wrote about Trump wanting to have Loomer around "for reasons psycho-sexual or as a reliable source of flattery," though she was eventually "thrown under the bus" amid the media frenzy surrounding her campaign presence.
Is He Taking Ozempic?

According to reports, Trump lost around 20 pounds during his 2024 presidential campaign.
Wolff alleged in his book that Trump's inner circle believed the president was taking Ozempic or another weight-loss drug.
Reports previously said the 47th POTUS shed 20 pounds during his campaign cycle, sparking speculations he might be taking medication to achieve a slimmer physique.

Trump's Wife 'F------- Hates' Him

False reports about Melania and Trump's divorce swirled in the final weeks of the 2024 campaign period.
Wolff also touched on Trump's marriage to Melania as many assumed there was trouble in paradise amid her absence in his campaign trail.
"She f------ hates him," a "Mar-a-Lago patio confidant" allegedly told the writer.
Melania and Her MIA Status During Trump's Campaign

Melania largely stayed out of public eye during her husband's campaign.
"Nobody can tell you where Melania even actually lives. It may be, on its own peculiar terms, the most successful marriage in America. Or, it may be ready to blow up at any moment," Wolff wrote in the book, revealing Trump's campaign staff did not know where Melania was residing amid his reelection bid.
