One of the baffling things about Trumpworld giving access to Wolff: all they needed to do was call Murdoch and he would have said don’t cooperate b/c Wolff had written nasty book on him. And Jared/Trump speak to Murdoch all the time!

Trump has consistently made a distinction between immigrants from Western Europe and immigrants from other parts of the world--and been puzzled why others would not see that logic.
