The only real exception I can think of is Wolff's account of Trump&Co in the time leading up to election night. He describes a Trump who does not expect to win, does not want to win, and even reassures a worried Ivanka (I think - it might have been Melania) that he's not going to win. He describes a shocked Trump on election night, and Melania "crying tears, and not of joy". He then describes a Trump who went from surprised, to horrified, to fully convinced he would make a great American president.
It fits with his acceptance speech, where he looks like he's seen a ghost, and all the weird things he did during the election campaign (although all of them were in character, in hindsight some of them also give the impression he was doing a kind of self-sabotage). It fits the famous footage of Ivanka looking anything but happy, smiling only when her husband looks at her.
I was going to say it also explains why Trump has never really put forth any real policies, mostly just vague stuff like "build a wall", "throw out all the illegals", and "repeal Obamacare and replace it with... something", but honestly, I think that's just Trump. Otherwise he'd have come up with something the nearly four years' he's been POTUS.
