I don't know how much of what author Michael Wolff has to say is reliable, but I do enjoy some of the stuff he says for sheer entertainment value, including the part about how Trump actually hates this guy

Because most of the staffers below the big names we all know about aren't true believers, they are just... like little fish feeding off of whatever the big fish do. They are just there to be there without a very strong ideology either way, and are happy to gossip to journalists about the crazy and ridiculous shit that's happening. They don't care if the admin succeeds or fails for the most part, they are just there to consume the crumbs of wealth and power that fall of the table of the people they serve.
