Michael Wolff claims Trump is 'totally incoherent' when he's not in front of the cameras

As part of the inaugural episode of his "Fire and Fury" podcast, author Michael Wolff -- recently known for his gossipy insider accounts on the life of Donald Trump and the people who surround him — claimed that the former president is a bit of a mess when he is not on camera.

As the Daily Beast's Brooke Leigh Howard is reporting, Wolff claims that the former president has been making some statements lately that have some of his close aides baffled, which could be the result of him playing the "role" of Trump the candidate before adoring crowds.

Wolff reportedly explained, "Any sense that he’s put in a position where he’s going to be offstage is a dangerous place for him to be. Onstage: He’s in the role. He’s Donald Trump," before suggesting behind the scenes Trump is "totally incoherent."

According to the author, Trump is at his best when the cameras are on, because, at heart, he's a performer and he would try and turn a stint in jail into a spectacle.

“I think that if he did go to jail, he would figure out a way to make that his stage,” Wolff stated. “That would be the effect that they would make him even more famous. Jail would become an extraordinary platform for him.”
