Trump Under Fire

Many readers and critics have point out that Wolff's prime source is Bannon plus other named and unnamed sources, just as in the 2018 "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House." Found many of the material too detailed and specific to be fictional. Besides, as in "Fire and Fury," Trump, his lawyers and friends from FOX etc have not disputed any of the book's direct quotes, events and material*** , especially the detailed salacious stories. You can't make 'em up folks, eye opener indeed. ***With the exception that the special counsel has denied publicly that the Mueller team, back in March 2018, drafted a proposed indictment of the president. Nonetheless, the book hit the mark on the unprecedented legal debate. As on today's hot topics "Jeffrey Epstein the child sex trafficker" and "Are you a racist?," the book covers them. Here is Trump's self take on the latter (with named source): Trump, speaking about his choice of women, had once told Tucker Carlson that he liked a “little chocolate in his diet.” Trump himself told a story about being ridiculed by friends for sleeping with a black woman. But the morning after, he had looked at himself in the mirror and was reassured that nothing had changed—he was still the Trumpster. He offered this anecdote to show that he was not a racist.
