We've all being saying for ages that Trump is silly and childish. The book concentrates on his silly and childish behaviour - so it will be ACCURATE if it's silly and childish.
Classic reach around group think/confirmation then.
Classic cliché response.

I won't be responding to anything else you post as you are obviously incapable of reasoned debate.

His understanding of "irony" is on a par with Baldrick's.

Just some, umm, err, cog.., cog..., cognit... umm ... what’s that expression? Can’t remember. I’ll say “confusion” instead.

The problem is there is so much random stupid stuff claimed in the book. Some of it may be true but a lot of it just doesn't hold up if only because of the large volume and lack of quality of the claims.

It's the book equivalent of detonating a tanker full of st to get some to stick.

The whole thing on all sides is like a bunch of five year olds fighting. And people are backing things from people they dismissed previously (like Bannon) because it's suddenly credible because it suits their view.

Everything around Trump both pro and anti is just so pathetic to watch. Everyone gets so worked up about stupid stuff.

Some of it is doubtless nonsense. One that sticks in the mind is Trump not knowing what Brexit was the month before the referendum when his team had been discussing it with Fascist Farage in 2015, seems unlikely to me.

On the other hand, the evident chaos in the administration, the coarse dialogue, endless tweeting of base & unpresidential rubbish, the bleeding obvious deficiencies of the man all point in one general direction. So, details off here, made up story there doesn't much detract from a sense of someone who shouldn't be left alone with crayons, much less a country.

Well quite.

Some corroboration of pretty important deficiencies in a president here:

You really need a new life/subject to focus on so believe what you need to snowflake, but it is quite amusing to see believe your own paranoia (quite fitting in this thread really if I think about it).

As for the "Woman after", all very interesting. I have yet to hear anything other than self re-enforced gossip and maximum snowflakery.
As for the Trump using Twitter, what a silly thing to do and thank god I am not a Yank smile

As for anybody taking anything on Twitter etc as meaningful in any way, laughs at the fools all.
Personally I would like to see corroboration of the stories in the book before I accept anything from it. I think it is interesting the way that the book was allowed to happen in whatever form it is now.

The lady that was after Gorka on Newsnight provided some corroboration to a part of the book, not gossip. Gorka claims to have not wasted his money yet my money is he has a copy or at least someone has given it to him or the salient passages, he is too vain to have not looked himself up in it.

I have not read it but I have read the excerpt that she was talking about. If that part is at least true, and the others are not denying it, then it paints a picture of un prepared people and lends credence to the rest of the book.

Now it seems a few other parts are confirmed. Toothbrush is interesting in the way that was used to deflect and it was such a small thing that would have been left alone had Gorka not been looking for a way to intimidate the presenter. Gorka should have read the book, then systematically destroyed anything put across from it that he could in that interview.

Or maybe he cannot refute the book?

I don't know, I was not there.

So what. There genuinely is a mountain of "stupid stuff". Because he is the President of the US the "stupid stuff" really does matter - to everybody on this planet.

Trump is monumentally stupid - on a scale we have never seen before in a person of such importance. At least, not since the days of inbred monarchical families.

After seeing the various docs on Trump (that C4 one was excellent) and all the talking heads on him, I think it sounds reasonable.
Various character traits that the talking heads bring up is his inability to retain information, his thought processes exist in the moment, and outside of that, nothing exists. One that sticks out is when he went to the place where his new casino would be, he was chatting to the boss, and after 5 minutes the boss realised Trump knew absolutely nothing about the business he was creating, it was surreal for him. Trump listens to flattery and that's it.

The writer of the book is a sensationalist and wanted to get the most $$$$ out of it as he can. And he has succeeded mightily in this deed. Note this is not an accusation, just a point of fact. He had to tread a fine path between $$ and lawyers, so not all of it is made up obviously. A fine comb needs to get the wheat from the chaff.

However, given this writer is known to be shock expose how come he got invited to lap it all up in the Whitehouse in the first place?

What where they thinking? scratchchin

Now he has said the President is childish. Childish or Presidential? Donald latest tweet

"Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad! "

I'm on the fence but I guess that is not Presidential.

The irony is that Steve Bannon has been more presidential with his "great man" comment ... what? crazy. Err.... Whether you like Bannon or not, nobody will ever accuse him of being infantile in his thoughts and he has more than 3 brain cells.

Trump and lots of generals in the Whitehouse with their buttons

In recent years we've been lucky. It may not remain that way.

In fact, it's partly because of a mental monarch that the USA even exists.

They should look back at their own history and remember what it was like to be ruled by a mad man.

Just looking at the stats for the mid terms, usually the incumbent party loses a few. 25 majority in the house? 2 majority in the Senate?

Going to be interesting.

Someone has far too high an opinion of themselves,as evidenced across many threads.
