    This new behind the scenes book is

    As some may have suspected, they didn't want or expect to win. It was all a plot to enhance their showbiz careers. Melania was in tears on election night when the result became clear.

    I'm 99% sure Melania is currently being played by a series of body doubles.

    Also, fucking lol at Crooked Hillary failing to beat that.

    The stuff about Bannon is from it. See also Rupert Murdoch calling him an idiot, amid much else.

    Anything Murdoch says I'm inclined to think the opposite, so GO TRUMP.

    He almost certainly does make up quotes, although I'm not sure he's ever been properly captured for it, but the bigger problem is that he makes up whatever meetings or scenarios he needs to pad out the narrative he's trying to present.

    He's essentially a novelist.

    If Trump's people had half a brain, and he had a single drop of impulse control, they'd laugh the book off and ignore it.

    They don't, he doesn't, and they won't.

    I love the way he came back from christmas golf holidays and immediately had to threaten nuclear war just in case people had forgotten to talk about him in the last week. Classic paranoid narcissism.

    He threatens nuclear war, that book is reported, and his approval rates jump by a percent. What a broken country.

    Between this and the Jerusalem stuff, at what point do we have to start thinking of the US as itself being a rogue nuclear power? They clearly have no desire currently to be a part of any supranational body or oversight.

    The woman who was one of the first in the Roy Moore accusers house burnt down the other night and it's being investigated for arson. What a country.

    I will say that despite the fact that large chunks of it feel quite made-up, the very real reaction has been amusing.

    Republicans are eating themselves from the inside out.

    Granted but the bit about him just wanting to see them fighting is spot on, in a sane world it would be perfect satire.

    He didn't write that.

    "being, like, really smart"

    Come on. He's got a team tweeting for him who are trying to get the most reaction possible.

    I would say so. It's all too consistent and at odds with every other Presidential campaign he's ran. This is his formula and it got him into power.

    I have the Wolff book and have read the first bit. First impression is that it's very likely based on real stuff but he's used quite a lot of creative license to create a "narrative".

    His sources are many of the people who worked in the White House, including some of the inner circle. And himself, from having been present for some of it.

    I don't think there's any danger Melania allows that to occur.
