Re of folks he calls on a weekly or monthly basis. he took some people like cory a lot. trump basically sees the campaign as a glory days. he loves talking about the campaign. the people that surrounded him on the campaign were great. a bit of revisionist history but it is what it is in his mind, and he's trying to replicate that and trying to go into, you know, battle mode again and listens to all of these people outside the white house and grumbles about his current staff but his current staff privately notes sometimes the staff might not be the problem. sometimes it may be more than that. >...
