Fire and Fury review - a world first: Michael Wolff's explosive Donald Trump book portrays an 'inept, hopeless and confused' presidencyWolff gives us devastatingly direct transcripts in this political exposé worth reading, says David Sexton
Yesterday it provided some eye-popping anecdotes how Trump constructs his comb-over, his nasty tricks on the wives of his friends, Melanias tears when she realised he might win the presidency, Steve Bannons utter contempt for Donald Jrs stupidity in meeting the Russians, etc.
But, although full of startling disclosures, this book amounts to much more than a treasure trove of gaffes and inanities. It is ferociously well-written and pitilessly focused and it is destined to become the primary account of the first nine months of the Trump presidency. Wolff references Bob Woodwards book about the Clinton administration, The Agenda, and David Halberstams book The Best And The Brightest, about the US establishment in the Vietnam years, as defining epochs and Fire and Fury belongs in that company.

(9,895 posts)This fake presidency is destroying the nation's international standing, eroding our institutions and creating a profoundly unsafe future for us all. The fact that this shit-stain on a white sheet (or is that "in a white sheet"?) was EVER allowed to become the de facto leader of the free world is an indictment of our media-driven, attention-span deficient so-called culture and is the embarrassment of the 21st century that may not be topped in the intervening 82 years until the 22nd century...(if we survive that long as a species).
