White House Blasts Michael Wolff Book as ‘Trashy Tabloid Fiction’
breitbart ^ | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 01/03/2018 1:23:26 PM PST by davikkm

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders released a statement condemning a new tell-all book about the Trump administration by Michael Wolff. “This book is filled with false and misleading accounts from individuals who have no access or influence with the White House,” Sanders said.

Wolff cites more than 200 interviews with sources for the book and multiple meetings at the White House over a period of 18 months.

But Sanders decried many of those sources, including former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who returned to Breitbart News as chairman after leaving the White House.

“Participating in a book that can only be described as trashy tabloid fiction exposes their sad, desperate attempts at relevancy,” she said.

I don’t believe a damned thing Bannon says. It’s regrettable Trump trusted that rumpled, oily, backstabbing piece of steaming shit Bannon into his inner circle.

For that greasy f**k to stab this President in the back is in itself evil. He can go piss off.

Since about half (more than half???) of the voters, voted for HRC in 2016, I cannot just dismiss the MSM by thinking that “anyone capable of critical thought” would not longer be tuning in.

It would be helpful if the MSM was more interested in truth, not to mention integrity and values. But since that is not the case, we need to continue to be aware of what they are broadcasting, and to acknowledge that there are many MILLIONS who believe all of it, hook, line, & sinker.

So it is (to me, IMHO), sad that the MSM will report on this as if it is factual instead of, say, reporting on positive things that Trump has done since becoming POTUS.

That’s exactly right! I understand that we need to see what the other side (the evil side) is saying but too many people - even freepers - are too weak for this kind of stuff. They immediately get hysterical and think it is all over. It is NOT all over. The good times have just begun.

Go, President Trump, go!

I believe Sarah Sanders in her comments today about Bannon. The White House knows what they’re talking about. Do you not believe her?

Bannon is a traitor. I stand with Trump and what Sarah Sanders said today in condemning that vile man.

And what proof do you have that Bannon is a traitor? I’m hoping you have something more convincing than a lying liberal @$$hole who wrote a book.

What is all the excitement everywhere over another gossipy tabloid trash opinion made up to destroy POTUS and his family who are all decent people. This writer has little to no credibility and why POTUS or Don Jr even bothered to address anything in the book, is beyond me.

And now you are making sense. What happened?

“Mrs. Trump supported her husband’s decision to run for President and in fact, encouraged him to do so. She was confident he would win and was very happy when he did.”

Everybody could see that. It was pretty obvious.

Move on, what else is new?

Thank you. You have put forth a sane view of the situation, and one which all too many people don't grasp. The media control of information is a serious threat to this nation.

I am confused. Is the book correct or not on Bannon’s statement? Why don’t we check out the Bannon statement before we react? makes sense to me.

Jesse Waters pointed this out on The Five today . Apparently he’s a leftist that has been discredited many times . How did this guy make it into the White House ?

I think many of them don’t like Trump and are hoping that Mueller will find a real charge to file. This book will give them something to do for a few days. But arguably the fact that Bannon (alleged “white supremacist” etc.) trashed Trump (assumung that he actually did) is a positive for Trump among that group.

I believe Sarah Sanders in her comments today about Bannon. The White House knows what they’re talking about. Do you not believe her?

Here are her personal comments about Bannon from her daily briefing:

Unidentified Speaker
HOW SURPRISED WERE YOU WITH WHAT YOU READ SOME OF THE THINGS ATTRIBUTE IT TO MR. BANNON? DID THAT SURPRISE YOU IN ANY WAY AND IF SO, HOW?

MS. SANDERS
CERTAINLY SURPRISING. I BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT COULD AND WOULD WIN OTHERWISE I WOULD NOT HAVE DEDICATED SO MUCH TIME TO IT. I WORKED IN THE WHITE HOUSE SINCE THE VERY FIRST DAY AND A LOT OF CHARACTERIZATION OF -- THAT I SAW THAT HE [Bannon] WAS PUSHING OUT WAS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I SAW TAKE PLACE EVERY DAY I HAD BEEN HERE.

Go to minute 11:30 to hear her response:

Bannon did NOT turn a seat over to the Dems.

There is way too much dysfunction, infighting and backstabbing in the Trump White House. Its one of the reasons Trump has a very low approval rating.
