The explosive book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, written by Michael Wolff was released on Friday, and it's got people talking.
And when I say "people," I really just mean "politicos" and residents of the Beltway. Anyone who knows anything about President Trump, the White House, or his administration know truth from fiction.
However, the lines are blurred between what is real and what is not based on the stinging back-and-forth that took place this week between President Trump and former White House chief strategist and current CEO of Breitbart Steve Bannon. It all began with Bannon's comments appearing in the Guardian in which he described Donald Trump Jr.'s June 2016 meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya as "treasonous." From there, President Trump fired back saying Bannon had "lost his mind." His lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to Bannon over his comments, and have also tried blocking the book from publication, all but guaranteeing that Wolff's book will become a best-seller.
But the palace intrigue might only be a spectacle for those inside the Beltway. On Thursday night, consumers and journalists lined up at Kramerbooks in Dupont Circle in Washington D.C. for the midnight release of the book.
"This is a D.C. moment, and I wanted to be a part of it," Steve Dingledine, who was first in line to purchase the book, told the Washington Post.
In some ways, Wolff's book does lay out some truth about the Trump White House that we already knew. However, to those outside of the Beltway, particularly Trump supporters, this is just another example of the media trying to tear down the president and his agenda.
They don't care about how dysfunctional the White House is so long as the Trump administration is delivering on their campaign promises. They care more about getting a tax cut and not paying a penalty for Obamacare's individual mandate. They care about national security, immigration, and trade.
To them, this is all a distraction and only sows more discord with the media. That should concern the rest of us who still value trustworthiness in media and journalism.
Why do these assclowns get unfettered access and why do people agree to be interviewed? “Uh, no comment. I have work to do.”
Listed as #1 Bestseller on Amazon.
If the book really wanted beltway “endorsement”, the forward should have been written by Maxine Waters, Al Green, and Luis Gutierrez. The flyleaf should have a public service announcement to caution those living in Washington DC about the symptoms of the incapacitating illness known as a the “Dual-Diagnosis of Trump Derangement Syndrome and Hopium Withdrawal”.

Trumper haters will delight while supporters will yawn. This story will last as long as the news cycle.
Preaching to the liberal choir. With 24/7 TRUMP SUCKS coverage by the media, this book will create very little interest. The liberals already believe the lies and to the rest of the country it is just white noise.
We care about the WALL!
yea no chit. it’s getting promoted everywhere.
lets see where it stands in three weeks.
I think Wolff is just one nasty pr***.
It's #1 in new releases. Did you look to see what the next 9 in the top 10 were?
It already was the #1 bestseller before all of the stuff came down with Bannon, much less the lawyer, so that ship has already sailed. I’m also not sure that inside the beltway is the only place that cares. But if this is just a crappy poison-pen book by a sh*t-weasel second-rate author, it will probably be water over the dam pretty quick.
It’s not like there’s a lot of hot books at the moment. It’s the numbers, not the position.
That is a very less than exciting list, but I have to confess being partial to the guy who (also) wrote “Captain Underwear”!
Huffpo and AOL commie news quote this butthole calling Trump a “child.”
Infantile name calling on the part of these twits. I’m not even going to link the piece of garbage.
Lots of orgasms down at FNC over this piece of garbage. Knocked the news of Gloria Allred’s new fundraiser drive to hire more professional Trump accusers clean out of the headlines.
One said they sold ALL 32 copies, another said they sold ALL 30 copies, another said they sold ALL 5 copies.
For your amusement!!
Thanks for that link. You made my day. Funny stuff. Wolffy should be ashamed of himself for beating those jewels of wisdom out of the top spot. LOL.
The author of the explosive new Trump book says he can’t be sure if parts of it are true. https://tiny.iavian.net/ky61
I don’t care. I’m not gonna read it but already a lot of reviews on Amazon. Wolff said he’s not sure it’s all true.
