tweeting it to #fireandfury.

What I really want to see is a picture of the President of Mexico and Angela Merkel and Montenegro's Prime Minister and the mayor of San Juan reading the book. And pictures of millions of others reading the book.

It will enrage him!! And it will give everyone else a laugh.

They won't read the book. Sadly, they are supported by lots of Americans.

(and backstabbing).

These people are gossiping about Trump and his gang all the time anyway, so they will want to get their shuddering kicks out of sharing the juicy details in private, even as they bash the book publicly.
