Tony Schwartz on Nick Ayers: "Trump's chief of staff is Trump and always will be"
Longtime Trump observers and allies also stress that any incoming chief of staff is unlikely to fundamentally change a gut-driven president who bridles at efforts to control him.
“A chief of staff for Donald Trump is a factotum and will have virtually no influence,” said Tony Schwartz, who wrote the 1987 book “The Art of the Deal” with Trump. “Trump’s chief of staff is Trump and always will be.”
Asked if he’s aware of any past adviser throughout Trump’s business career who was able to wrangle him, Schwartz said simply, “No and not even close.”
