'Something is off': Trump insider suggests some staffers secretly hope he loses
A top Trump adviser sees "something is off" with the former president, The Atlantic's Tim Alberta said Monday.
Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Monday, Alberta said that he found the conversation with the senior adviser "fascinating."
"I was having a meal with a pretty high-ranking Trump person about a month ago, maybe six weeks ago, and I'd said at that point to this person, I said, 'Is there any small part of you that hopes that he loses?" Alberta relayed.

"And they just sort of cocked their head to the side sort of in disbelief that I asked the question, but they didn't answer," he recalled. "And I said, really? No? Any small part of you?' And this person thought about it for a few minutes and said, 'Yeah, I guess there is because maybe we could all just sort of move on at that point.'"
He said that he'd likely "go to my deathbed still thinking about that conversation." It was a person who "poured their blood, sweat and tears" into Trump over the last several years.
"They know that this is not — something is off here and they recognize it," Alberta closed. "I think most of them."
Wallace said she will also "never forget" that story.
