Trump’s usual collection of pet rocks had stopped showing up at the hotel weeks before. There was no sign of any Rudys, Bannons, or Lewandowskis; no Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin or his wife, Louise Linton, or the tiny dog she kept in her tiny purse (an actual, breathing lapdog); no trace of the Trump leg-humpers from the House; and no hint of the Sean Spicers, Kellyanne Conways, or any of the other Washington C-listers who were bumped temporarily up to B-list status by their proximity to Donald J. Trump.
