Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff
2.0
Well, I have to say I was not the least bit surprised by anything I read in this book. It is pretty unsettling to have all the disturbing news from the first year of Trump's presidency compiled into one source, and I can honestly say that I dread the next three years as well.
His staff can't control him or his outbursts at all, and after attempting to a lot of them just leave. His whole family is a hot mess, and are given places in the White House that they absolutely shouldn't be. Again, we know this, but it's scary to see it all written out instead of over the course of a year in headlines. If even a little of this book is completely factual, we are in for some serious trouble.
This is not something I would normally read. I avoid political books, especially about people like this, because I have better things to concern myself with. However, since Trump was so adamant that the book not be published, I made an excuse for this one.
The writing was not great, there was little to no editing, and the author seems to have this incredible fascination and obsession with Steven Bannon. It is not something I'd ever read again, but I suppose for a one time read it was fine. Overall it just filled me with anxiety of what we can expect moving forward.
