Trump's late-night posting sprees reveal a president who is 'spiraling': biographer

President Donald Trump has been on a lot of late-night posting sprees lately, and one of his biographers thinks it shows the president is spiraling from stress and anxiety.

Michael Wolff, an author who has written four books about Trump, said during a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast he co-hosts with Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast, that Trump's late-night post-a-thon on Truth Social illustrates the version of Trump that he doesn't want the public to see. They show the president is capable of feeling the weight of the situation he finds himself in, even if he doesn't want others to know it.

"There is actually an interesting contrast between the posting frenzy and then going out on the golf course," Wolff said. "Going out on the golf course is like, 'I really don't care.' The posts mean, 'I am spiraling. I'm on my own. I'm anxious.'"

Trump averaged about 27 posts per night in May, according to a Daily Beast analysis, which was a slight increase over April's average.

Wolff added that the president's posting shows that he has lost a signature part of his brand as well.

"His relationship to this job is different from any other professional politician's relationship to this job," Wolff said. "And I think it's more dominant. It's more, 'I can do whatever I want to do.' I mean, it's that fundamental thing, you know, 'You can't hold me to account. I do what I want to do. Don't even try to pin me down or make me follow your rules.'"
