OPERATION TRUMP
Inside the most unorthodox campaign in political history
By GABRIEL SHERMAN
On the afternoon of March 15, as voters across five states streamed to the
polls, Donald Trump’s campaign advisers gathered by the pool at Mar-a-Lago,
the billionaire’s private club in Palm Beach. Hope Hicks, Trump’s 27-year
-old press secretary, wearing a cover-up over bikini bottoms, her hair still
wet from the pool, scanned headlines on her iPhone next to Trump’s square-
jawed campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. That morning, Politico had
reported that Trump allies wanted Lewandowski to be fired for roughly
grabbing a female reporter while she tried to ask Trump a question at a
press conference (an incident for which he has since been charged with
battery). Lewandowski didn’t appear to be worried about his job. He was
kicking back in a Trump-brand golf shirt, drinking a 16-ounce Monster energy
drink, and chatting with deputy campaign manager Michael Glassner, a former
Bob Dole adviser, who at age 52 has been seen as the campaign’s grown-up.
Dan Scavino, who first earned Trump’s trust as his golf caddie at the Briar
Hall club in Westchester and now handles the campaign’s social media,
sauntered over in baggy mesh shorts and a baseball cap. “We go to bed and
we’re winning, and we wake up and we’re winning!” Scavino said with a
cocky smile.
There is perhaps no better representation of the singularity of the Trump
campaign than this handful of political outsiders lounging poolside. They
fit no one’s description of a dream team. Hardly any of Trump’s staffers
arrived at their positions with high-level political experience.。。。 |
