Yes, but so what? Why did the Trump administration grant free access to Michael Wolff, a gossip artist? And why ask for a cease and desist order? What goes around comes around.

“Fire and Fury” Is a Book All Too Worthy of the President
Quote:
The President of the United States is a deranged liar who surrounds himself with sycophants. He is also functionally illiterate and intellectually unsound. He is manifestly unfit for the job. Who knew? Everybody did.

So why has a poorly written book containing this information, padded with much tedious detail, become an overnight sensation, a runaway best-seller, and the topic of every other political column, podcast, and dinner conversation? It seems we are in bigger trouble with reality perception than we might have realized.
Truth hurts.

We are indeed in big, big trouble, when so many of us donate dollars to this "book". We are being played.

It will be a pittance considering the money Trump syndicate has been raking in in service of "we the people". Now late night comedians and SNL are going to get fodder for their gigs for free, which is what Trump really resents.

And let's not forget the tax break he has given himself and his buddies a the cost blue states.

Heck I hope that this book gets translated into a few choice languages and distributed worldwide.

Let's say your septic tank overflowed and you had a huge stinking mess in your back yard. You're saying you'd be in big big trouble if the septic tank contractor wears stinky overalls.

This guy is no contractor. He is into collecting money from hype.
