What bothers me about this book is a lot of the comments in it seem to be gossip. I'd love for it to be all accurate but I'm inclined to take it with a small 'pinch of salt'

I have only seen/heard exurbs from Wolff's exposé; I admit I have not read one word of it. But the down side of Fire and Fury, according to some reviews, is that it is overstated and exaggerated. This plays right into Trump's agenda of "faults news".

I imagine it to be like any other mafia family. They support the old Don to his face and speak the truth behind his back when they think no one is listening, but if they get caught talking crap they will lie to the end of time. The people are criminals, they want everything for themselves, and they are getting away with it so far. Every time he says "no collusion" he is just affirming that there is, anyone can see through that. He wants people to believe what he says and ask no more questions, since that how it works in his family. I think he's bat shit crazy and that it's nothing new. He's been crazy since I first seen him on TV in the 80's, he's beyond a narcissist, he believes his own lies.

Whatever truth this may contain, it probably isn't anything enlightening to those who follow politics on a daily basis. I have my concerns about it turning out to be a smear job, which would only embolden him and his supporters, but at the same time it feels like it's at that point of no return where it doesn't matter what is said, they won't care.

Watching all these dreadful policy ideas, administrative exoduses, foreign blunders, and bad character on display, we honestly don't need a book to tell us how bad he is. He should be getting grilled day in and day out over his wretched policies to the point where every republican should be terrified of losing their seats. We all know he's an idiot, I just wish people in general focused less on how rude he is and more on how much damage he's doing in office.

Why do you have a reason to doubt what he wrote? Per his explanation on tv, he explained how he wrote it and presented it as it came to him. It is unfortunate that you're right in the condition of the presidency and the country. When the rest of the world starts to hate us and perhaps it affects our economy maybe the 40% of the country will wake up but I'm not holding my breath. I've heard for years that "the market hates uncertainty." Not sure it can get more uncertain that it is now and the market still rises.

I am reading it also, it just fills the gaps in what we already knew. Obama had more class in his pinky fingernail than Trump and Miller put together.
I do have to give him credit for being though, he has managed to piss off the leaders of every country on the planet.

There is more than enough evidence that the White House is chaos, even before this book came out. The huge number of empty cabinet positions alone is concerning... over a year in. That is just one example; there are many, many more.
