Look at the reviews of Wolffs other books. The guy comes across as a hack, a literary talent on par with someone who writes garbage for click bait websites and these reviews were written well before the Trump book came out......
On his book “The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch”:

The Most Distracting Writing...Ever
July 26, 2009
Format: Hardcover
“When I reached the 2/3rd mark of this book, I had to quit. Will someone please take Michael Wolff back to school to learn how to write correctly? The book is rife with rambling asides in parentheses and, his all-time favorite, within dashes. I challenge someone to find more than two pages within this entire book that does not include a dash (the Acknowledgments do not count). If something is worth mentioning, please take the take to develop it properly. I am not one of those curmudgeonly people who usually picks apart a book but am compelled to point out that abundant patience is needed to make it through this book.
This is all to say that Wolff’s writing distracts terribly from a topic and a man who is fascinating for what he has accomplished and how he had done it. The format of following Murdoch’s life with the parallel story line of the Dow Jones purchase works very well to keep the book fresh.”

Who’s the Biggest Poseur of All?
By Amazon Customer on February 2, 2004
Format: Paperback
“I read Autumn of the Moguls in disbelief. This is the “journalist” New York magazine was paying a half million dollars a year to for his supposed insights into the media business? What insights? What a lazy book this is. I was insulted by Wolff’s arrogance, relentless posing, and absolute lack of any substance. So, cool. He got to sit at the same table as Rupert Murdoch. He’s met Sumner Redstone. He gets invited to “mogul” meetings now and then. Big deal. The guy comes off as a total loser. No, wait: “total loser”—that’s me. I paid full price for this meaningless rubbish.”
