Wolff unfortunately does take some liberties with the truth while telling a story.

I’d probably put as much faith in the factual accuracy of this book as I would a Michael Moore “documentary.” So if it’s “fake” then why is little Donnie stomping his feet and holding his breath until he turns blue?

So, Donnie can LIE for YEARS about Obama’s Birth Certificate, LIE about his "Successful Business Ventures, like Trump U., and basically LIE every time he opens his mouth or logs onto Twitter, and then he has the GALL to say someone ELSE is Lying???

AND, in case anyone might have forgotten…Remember, it was Trump’s choice to make Bannon the CEO of his presidential campaign. Then Trump named Bannon his chief strategist and senior counselor—much the same position held by Karl Rove and David Axelrod in the Bush and Obama White Houses, respectively—with the added declaration that Bannon would be an “equal partner” to Reince Priebus, then the chief of staff designate. Upon taking office, Trump even named Bannon as a member of the National Security Council.

If the Wolff book were single source, it might be able to be dismissed. Unfortunately for Trump et al., it is too similar to the constant stream of information leaking from the White House over the past year, so that even inaccuracies of it are not enough to disqualify it from consideration.

So says the fake president

Let us hear Wolff’s recordings.

8. Wolff reports that a spokesman for Trump’s legal team left the job because he feared possible obstruction of justice related to a statement drafted aboard Air Force One that defended Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer in June 2016.

“Mark Corallo was instructed not to speak to the press, indeed not to even answer his phone. Later that week, Corallo, seeing no good outcome-and privately confiding that he believed the meeting on Air Force One represented a likely obstruction of justice-quit. (The Jarvanka side would put it out that Corallo was fired.)”

We could hope for a Dallas moment. Wake up 24 months ago. (Clicking my heals together) There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home. I know it’s like mixing metaphors.

Have there been specific denials of any of the details?

Have any of the claims in the book been proven to be lies?

Which one of these fits Trump’s tantrum this time: fake news, all polls are wrong, Obama, if Hillary …, two wrongs make a right when we do the wrong.

I’m going to buy the book for two reasons: 1) I love a good comedy fiction and 2) it will piss off Trump. Of the two, the latter reason is more important.
