The Daily Mail has compiled a list of 20 of the most “jaw-dropping” claims contained in the new book by author Michael Wolff – who was served with a cease-and-desist letter along with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon – and who was warned that legal action is imminent.
As we noted earlier, the book which was originally scheduled for publication next week, has been accelerated for broad release to Friday to capitalize on the widespread controversy it has generated, not to mention free publicity courtesy of the White House.
One thing to note: numerous media peers of Wolff’s have already expressed skepticism about the book’s accuracy and contents, which is why it will be up to the reader to determine if to buy it from the fiction or non-fiction section.
And so, without further ado, or commentary, is the list:

Cheeseburgers in bed while watching the boob tube?
THE HORROR!
Looks like a hit piece.
(prologue) Michael Wolff:
Mix some truths in with fiction; smear appropriate party with broad bush of feces, stir up lurid gossip.
Collect $$$ from other appropriate parties who contributed to ‘research’ for publication —->
Retire to Bahamas on revenue collected. Smoke cigars. Relax for life with plump bank account.
I think the author missed one…how did it go, now? Oh yeah:
something about Russian prostitutes and him peeing on them….
*rolls eyes*
Now I *KNOW*this whole book thing
was a setup (shiny penny)
for what’s about to come down….
Infowars.com claims the media is reporting on Wolff’s and Bannon’s books to divert from reporting on the resurrected investigations into Hildebeast, Inc.
Truth? Or fiction?
Inquiring minds want to know.
non-fiction =………….#12
Why = I would have said the same thing.
Shocking revelations! We must begin impeachment proceedings immediately!

Bannon, Trump, And Books
So now Trump’s laaaawwwwyerrrrr has sent demand letters to both Bannon and the publisher of the upcoming book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House”, which is due out next week, insisting that the publisher not distribute the work, apologize and retract anything already distributed and more.
To that I say: Good luck Mr. Trump and Mr. Harder (the lawyer.)
Non-disparagement clauses are pretty common among private business dealings and while somewhat controversial many people sign ’em without much complaint. They’re quite dangerous for the signing party if you ever want to speak about the other party for any reason at all, because “disparagement” isn’t a legally-defined term that has bright boundaries; for this reason the only way to remain completely clear of a problem is to keep your mouth shut entirely.
But in a political context there’s an entirely-different problem, because while you can certainly waive your constitutional rights in a private business context whether you can do so in a political context when working for a political campaign, candidate or elected official is another matter entirely. This is likely a matter of first impression for the courts and I wouldn’t bet a plugged nickel that the argument holds up in that context. Further, as I’m sure Trump’s attorney is aware, winning a libel lawsuit in this context is going to be nearly impossible because Trump is now the most-public of public figures and it’s nearly impossible to libel one — you must have actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth to lose one of those suits (a belief you’re right, no matter how well-founded, is almost-always fatal to someone coming after you on those grounds.)
My 30-second “not a lawyer but I’ve bought plenty of legal advice over the years” view is that Trump’s counsel is blowing smoke and while he can sue (anyone can sue for literally anything) I suspect that such a suit is the last thing Trump really wants to file for several reasons, not the least of which is discovery — and the very high probability that he loses on a motion to dismiss.
One thing is certain though — all the threats will dramatically boost sales of the book and the publisher has now said it’s coming — today — instead of as expected next Tuesday.
Time to grab some of this along with a nice adult beverage…..
Dilly Dilly! Glenfiddich on the rocks for this one. Can I fire up a Nat Sherman, or must I step outside into the Arctic to indulge in that?
(cigar lounges…besides your home, one of the last places to freely and literally blow smoke indoors for those who can tolerate it)
Are you not entertained?
20 lines of bullshit is equal to zero who gives a shit.
Remember the “golden showers” dossier?
I wish Mr. Wolff had been equally determined to expose all the depravity that went down in the Obama White House. It’s a great showpiece to compare how the elite class protects its own and how it must destroy a possible threat to its control. (And he really must be a threat, considering the magnitude of the hatred towards him.)
It seems that when DJT makes any progress (currently enjoying the positive response to tax bill and economy), a major play is made against him. Ho hum.
I hope the claims about his memory are not true. The last thing we need is The Donald with Alzheimer’s. What is described is exactly how my dear stepdad began his descent into that nightmare.
The big bombshell:

BULLY!

Finally something to impeach him on: he eats cheeseburgers in bed.
Sounds like one giant crock of shit. If that book were accurate Trump would be some nobody living in a one bedroom apartment in Brooklyn working as a dry cleaning assistant. He never would have made it to the fucking white house.
Trump is semi-literate…. Jesus Christ, come the fuck on.
I don’t have a clue how accurate the book is. Where there is so much smoke, there is a fire somewhere and his public actions don’t do very much to reassure me.
What I am truly puzzled about is the action of the markets in the face of a Constitutional Crises.. Unless there simply are no more “little guys” in the market and the Fed is driving the boat (which is always a possibility), the markets should be in an uproar over the possibilities.
Such is not the case which makes me very, very nervous. If the Fed is pushing, it will simply make things much worse when they stop. If they don’t stop sometime, we will have the mother of all collapses as all foreign investment will flee.
Where’s the dollar in this? Falling as one would expect which mean the Fed isn’t buying because it may not have anything to buy dollars with. An encouraging thought.
muck
Current news is that the author, Wolff, admits he doesn’t know if what he says in the book is true or not.
This is part of Deep State Plan B. Now they invoke the 25th Amendment. Rots o Ruck!
Two things come to mind; one, I won’t purchase the book and two, I will vote for Donald Trump again in 2020. God willing.
SO, to sum it all up:
UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Truuuuuump said a baaaaaaaaaad woooord! I’m ‘telling! I’m ‘tellin! Truuuump said a bad word! Shame, Shame!
And he eats in bed, not at the dinner table! Trump ate in be-ed! Trump ate in be-ed!
And somebody else called Trump a bad word, too!
