Michael Wolff is back and not with a whimper. The latest installment of his Trump chronicles picks up where Fire and Fury ended. Once again, it leaves the president bruised and readers shaking their heads.
. . .
As Wolff describes it, Donald Trump calls Kushner a girl. As for his vice-president, hes a religious nut. Why does he look at me like that? Trump asks about Pences beatific gaze. As for Pences wife, Karen? She really gives me the creeps.
. . .
Wolffs tale is credible enough to be taken seriously and salacious enough to entertain. If you have doubts about Wolffs credibility, and many do, the latest blowup over the USS John S McCain is one more reminder that in the Age of Trump, truth is weirder than fiction. Much weirder.
Beyond that, by early 2018 Wolff had captured the centrality of Robert Mueller in Trumps life, and nailed Trumps and Kushners insatiable cravings for cash. Fire and Fury records Bannon as saying: This is all about money laundering
It goes through Deutsche Bank and Kushner and all that shit. Talk about getting the big picture right.
