Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Michael Wolff pushes all the right buttons. “Watergate” is even in the very first sentence of the book (author’s note). The events described are based on “conversations that took place over a period of 18 months with the president, with most members of his senior staff—some of whom talked to talked to me dozens of times.” ***dozens of times*** The book starts out explaining how Trump had no idea what he was doing during the campaign, and get this... he was a puppet of Roger Ailes, Breitbart, Fox News and Bannon. (Are those not the right buttons to push) Trump never intended to win. He ran in order to get broadcast cred so he could start his own cable network. —— This is a novel with real names. There are no footnotes and conversations held when Wolff was NOT present are amazingly detailed. Conversations in which the chatting parties engaged, could not talk enough about how big a louse and scumbag Trump is. This piece of fiction validates everything Trump-haters have already claimed, with loads of bonus dirt. He’s delusional, phony, and is even a crook. As the author claims, real estate is a good front for money laundering. The extraordinarily outlandish claims continue, Trump was the leaker of Melania’s nudes early in her career. “...a shoot that Melania had done early in her modeling career —- a leak that everybody other than Melania assumed could be traced back to Trump himself.” (No footnotes). Before they wedded, Melania asked Trump if that’s the way things are going to be, because she wouldn’t be able to take it. Trump told her to sue him and he subsequently set up lawyers for her to see. The pages are full of this type soap opera material. —- The locker room talk tapes are apparently supposed to give us the impression Trump reveals this sort of stuff all the time, and to a guy like Michael Wolff. —— Those who want to hate Trump will love it. It really is a sign of the times. Someone can make as many groundless and preposterous claims they want, and there is a large audience who will eat up every syllable. I have read the first two chapters and it’s hard to read because it’s so surreal. I will attempt to plod on.
