Among the Witches: Inside the Republicans' bunker.
By Olivia Nuzzi
"Its hard to be worried when you dont really like the guy. Thats what one senior Republican Senate aide had to say when I asked how concerned conservatives are about Donald Trumps fate.
The truth is, Trump fatigue is a condition that knows no party, and many Republicans are as tired of this shit as anybody else. Thats not to say theyre outraged, or motivated to Make a Difference. Theyre just tired. You can live inside the right-wing bubble in a state of depression, resigned to the fact that, yeah, every five minutes or so, the president is probably going to do something norm-shattering or potentially impeachable, and no, you probably wont or cant do anything to change that. Sad!
Im totally bored by the story, one person who speaks regularly with the president told me. Theres nothing to it. I already know all the details. This person is bored more generally, too with the topic of Donald Trump. When we talk about what it would take for the presidents defenders to turn on him, this crucial piece is missing: You cant feel outraged if you can no longer feel anything at all.
This isnt that much different than the other crazy shit hes done in the last three years, the senior Republican Senate aide said. In some ways, people are both pissed off about it but then its also like, Are we gonna go crazy over this incident when weve seen so much other stuff? Not to minimize the seriousness here, but what came out in the call transcript is not exactly shocking. If I were to describe Republicans one way, it would be weary. Weary and numb. Its been a long three years for Republicans on the Hill. Not to say were the real victims Yeah, start passing around the collection plate for us!
Even insiders, like Rudy Giuliani, can find themselves in sudden darkness and uncertainty. Speaking to reporters on October 11, Trump said he wasnt sure the increasingly problematic former mayor was still representing himechoing language hes often used for his staff before he whacks them. I talked to Giuliani via text, where he insisted, I am still his lawyer until he tells me Im not
All I can tell you is that I still represent him as I have since April 2018. End of story. (He closed by sending me the stop-sign emoji, after I asked if hed be surprised if the president threw him under the bus in the end.)
