Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff

4.0

Ya know, I know this book is basically just a collection of gossip but I can't help thinking that it jives with damn near everything that we've witnessed this year. This paints Trump as a moron who never expected to or wanted to win, who is only concerned with his media coverage and who likes him, who is surrounded by people who all know that he's completely unfit for the job but keep trying to make it work for their own gain. Basically what I've always assumed. But this book really drives home that the real decisions were made by Bannon or "Javanka" and that those two parties were constantly fighting for power. It basically gives a pass to Spicer and Priebus. I wish he had touched on Sarah Sanders. I'd love to know the behind the scenes gossip on her.

But mostly this feels a lot like Bannon's book... he was clearly a main source. And as despicable as he is, if what is attributed to him is true, he really was the smartest guy there.

God, what a long year it's been... I kept being reminded of terrible things that happened that I had forgotten about, there have just been SO many unbelievable things.
