also more likely to have their own agendas. Women, by their nature, or Trump's version of their nature, were more likely to focus their purpose on a man. A man like Trump. (pg 200)

5) Bannon tried to banish McMaster to Afghanistan

While at the White House, Bannon allegedly grew increasingly frustrated by national security adviser HR McMaster's views on the 16-year war in Afghanistan. According to Wolff, Bannon saw the general as too closely aligned with liberals and establishment Republicans, and threatened to send him away.

"McMaster wants to send more troops to Afghanistan, so we're going to send him," said a triumphal Bannon. In Bannon's scenario, Trump would give McMaster a fourth star and 'promote' him to top military commander in Afghanistan. (pg 265)

6) Trump declined to nominate JohnBolton because of his moustache

It has been speculated Mr Trump was not a fan of John Bolton's facial hair, which could have hindered the former UN ambassador's chance at secretary of state. Wolff appeared to support this account by quoting Bannon during a dinner party conversation with Roger Ailes, as the two discussed who would serve in Mr Trump's cabinet.

"Bolton's mustache is a problem," snorted Bannon. "Trump doesn't think he looks the part. You know Bolton is an acquired taste."

Wolff also reports that Mr Ailes said Mr Bolton got into trouble for fighting at a hotel and chasing women, to which Bannon allegedly replied:

"If I told Trump that, [Bolton] might have the job."
