Fire and Fury, Signifying Nothing
Powerline ^ | January 5,2017 | Steven Hayward

Posted on 01/05/2018 4:28:27 PM PST by Hojczyk

Even liberals, like The New Republic, have big doubts about Wolff’s book. Already Wolff is backing away from backing up all the details of the book. As Business Insider reported this morning:

Michael Wolff, the author of “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” included a note at the start which casts significant doubt on the reliability of the specifics contained in the rest of its pages.

A number of his sources, he says, were definitely lying to him, while some offered accounts that flatly contradict those of others. But they were nonetheless included in the vivid account of the West Wing’s workings, in a process Wolff describes as “allowing the reader to judge” whether they are true.

Does the idea that Trump didn’t actually want to win the election make any sense at all? It’s one thing to expect to lose because the polls say you’re going to lose; but the intent to lose, as stated in Wolff’s account, simply can’t square with any serious understanding of human ambition, even with a person as unusual as Donald Trump. In addition, if this claim is true, how does it feel to be Hillary Clinton now—losing to someone who didn’t want to win? I almost like the idea for that satisfaction alone. And if it is even remotely true, then when is Trump going to tire of things and resign, claiming to have made America great again?

The book is like a pile of crap. There may be little bits of undigested food "I love the way you use the corn in there for texture Ralph. Boy that's great" -- Ralph and Herbie (Cheech and Chong, Big Bambu). Reasonable people won't try to pick out pieces of "food" from the pile of crap. It's an embarrassing product. The author will be tarred with it for the remainder of his "career".

“Reasonable people won’t try to pick out pieces of “food” from the pile of crap.”

It would be like picking kernels of corn out of a horse turd.

If a source was lying or contradicting another source, they should not have been included. Only truths that comport with the facts are fit to print.

Little men called Wolff will not be believed when they tell truth because of all the lies.

“One of the most entertaining “excerpts” circulated from Michael Wolff’s explosive tell-all was a passage describing President Trump supposedly watching a “gorilla channel” for hours on end.”
