BY GABRIEL SHERMAN APRIL 4, 2019 1:29 PM By Al Drago/Bloomberg/Getty Images. In the days after Attorney General William Barr released his four-page summary of Robert Mueller’s 300-plus-page report, Donald Trump veered between vindication and vindictiveness. The president told a friend he was going to make an enemies list of the Democrats and media figures who advanced the Russia narrative. “He was saying, ‘We’re going to go after them,’” a person briefed on the conversation said. “Trump was feeling really good. He was campaigning to establish a narrative,” a Republican who spoke with him said. Even on the question of obstruction, which Mueller left unresolved, Trump told a Republican that it didn’t matter if the report showed he broke the law. “I was fighting back because I was being accused of something insane,” Trump said, according to a source briefed on the conversation. But every victory lap has a finish line—and Trump appears to be approaching his. “Donald gets oversold on things. This is just another example of that,” said a Republican close to the White House. On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee voted to authorize subpoenas to obtain a copy of Mueller’s report, catalyzing fears among Trump aides that the legal siege isn’t over. “The White House realizes the report may have a lot of shit in it,” the Republican said. A former West Wing official told me Trump’s “response to the Barr letter was overplayed.” The prospect of damaging Mueller revelations is particularly alarming to advisers who worry the president’s 2020 re-election campaign is in “disarray,” according to three Republicans close to the White House. “There’s no brain trust,” a former West Wing official said. Campaign manager Brad Parscale, a social-media consultant with no political experience prior to Trump’s 2016 campaign, is struggling to exert control over the operation and reverse Trump’s upside-down poll numbers with women voters, sources said. “The polling is very bad. They’re going to have a big problem with female voters,” a Republican who’s been briefed on the internal numbers said. According to a source, Parscale told Trump over the weekend of March 16 that he could improve his standing with women if he dialed back the tweeting. Trump responded with a tweetstorm the following day that included an attack on the late Senator John McCain and a retweet of a user who had promoted the QAnon conspiracy. “Brad went to him and Trump’s response was like 40 tweets,” the source said.

In Parscale’s defense, everything in Trumpworld boils down to family, and sources said Don Jr. is likely to emerge as the campaign’s chief strategist. “Unofficially, Don is the main political adviser,” a Republican close to the campaign said. [ Holy shit! ] If there’s someone to challenge Don Jr.’s primacy at the campaign, it’s Jared Kushner.According to a source, Kushner has been sending his assistant Avi Berkowitz to high-level campaign meetings, a move seen as a way to carve out turf. Kushner has become more aggressive in recent weeks as the Mueller cloud over him has lifted, sources said. “Jared and Ivanka are in the strongest position they’ve ever been in,” a former West Wing official told me. Two sources said Secretary of State Mike Pompeocomplained privately to aides that Kushner got a choice position between Trump and Israeli prime minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu for the photographs at the March 25 signing ceremony to mark the United States recognizing Israel’s control of the Golan Heights. “Jared was against the policy, but once he saw Trump was going for it, he wanted to take full credit,” a source said. The White House did not respond to requests to comment. vanityfair.com
