Notable passages from Wolff’s book: Trump had a theory that “the more years between an older man and a younger woman, the less the younger woman took an older man’s cheating personally.”
From Wolff: “Trump likes to say that one of the things that made life worth living was getting your friends’ wives into bed.”

Trump would apparently ask male friends about their sex lives while their wives were listening on speakerphone.
From Wolff: Trump once explained to a cable news anchor that the Access Hollywood tape “really wasn’t me”: “I’ve been told by people who understand this stuff about how easy it is to alter these things and put in voices.”
From Wolff: Scarborough once asked Trump: “Who can talk you through this stuff before you decided to act on it?”

Trump responded: “...the answer is me. Me. I talk to myself.”
Interesting Mulvaney quote from Wolff: “The first couple of times when I went to the White House, someone had to say [to Trump], ‘This is Mick Mulvaney, he’s the budget director’.”
From Wolff: Trump would speculate on the flaws of his staffers in after-dinner phone calls: “Bannon was disloyal... Priebus was weak... Kushner was a suck-up... Spicer was stupid... Conway was a crybaby.”
From Wolff: Trump was angrily obsessed with Bannon’s TIME cover.

“For weeks after the TIME magazine cover story featuring Bannon, there was hardly a conversation in which Trump didn’t refer to it bitterly. (‘He views TIME covers as zero sum.’)”
From Wolff: Trump “lied about his height to keep from having a body mass index that would label him as obese.”
From Wolff, Trump on Bannon: “Guy looks homeless. Take a shower, Steve. You’ve worn those pants for six days. He says he’s made money, I don’t believe it.”
This email that Wolff highlights purporting to represent the views of Gary Cohn (Cohn insists it’s not him): “It’s worse than you can imagine. An idiot surrounded by clowns. Trump won’t read anything — not one-page memos, not the brief policy papers; nothing.”
From Wolff: Following Lewandowski’s firing, Hope Hicks worried about his treatment in the press.

Trump responded: “Why? You’ve already done enough for him. You’re the best piece of tail he’ll ever have.” Hicks apparently ran from the room.
From Wolff: Trump called Comey “a rat,” thought that rats were everywhere and you needed to get rid of them.

Trump likened Comey to John Dean.
Trump, according to Wolff, apparently described Sally Yates as “such a c—t.”
