Nicolás Maduro’s public displays of dancing, which the White House reportedly interpreted as mocking Donald Trump, “pierced Trump directly,” the president’s biographer says.
Michael Wolff, co-host of the Inside Trump’s Head podcast, said that Maduro’s nonchalant response to the U.S. striking a dock that the White House claimed was for drug trafficking, as well as to U.S. offers for him to step down, “100 percent” triggered the American president.
“Trump personalizes these things. It only really works for him if he personalizes it,” Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles. “And the [Tim] Walz thing: ‘I am against him.’ The [Gavin] Newsom thing: ‘I am against him. I need an enemy,’ and the enemy is not an abstraction. It’s a person. In this case, it was Maduro.”
