Book Excerpt: Trump 'Horrified' After Election Win  Melania Cried
President Donald Trump  was "horrified" after winning the 2016 election and  his  wife Melania was upset to the point of tears  according to a newly released book excerpt.
A portion of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" was published by New York Magazine Wednesday. In it  Wolff wrote that  Trump  expected to lose and never even wanted to be president.
"Shortly after 8 p.m. on Election Night  when the unexpected trend â  Trump  might actually win â seemed confirmed  Don Jr. told a friend that his father  or DJT  as he calls him  looked as if he had seen a ghost. Melania was in tears â and not of joy " Wolff wrote.
"There was  in the space of little more than an hour  in Steve Bannon's not unamused observation  a befuddled  Trump  morphing into a disbelieving  Trump  and then into  a horrified Trump . But still to come was the final transformation: Suddenly   Donald Trump  became a man who believed that  he  deserved to be  and was wholly capable of being  the president of the United States."
Bannon reportedly bashed  Trump  and people around him on several occasions.  Trump  and the White House responded Wednesday by trying to talk down Bannon's role on the campaign and in the White House  where he worked until last August.
