Michael Wolff on Trump—”Every Time You Speak to Him, You Think: This is a Wingnut”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/08/2018 6:01:03 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

It’s not exactly breaking news that Michael Wolff believes that Donald Trump is unfit to be President of the United States. That’s the entire thrust of his “Fire and Fury.”

But appearing on Morning Joe today, Wolff used a colorful phrase in describing Trump, one that epitomized his low opinion the man. Asked by Joe Scarborough whether Trump was “mentally fit” to be president, Wolff responded:

“Every time you speak to him, you think: this is a wingnut. There is something really alarming in ways that you cannot even begin to describe. It’s like you’re riveted to the seat.”

Wolff meant it as an insult, but some of us would be happy to learn that Pres. Trump is a wingnut, to the extent it means he’s a solid conservative!

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

At least wing nuts are useful for something; unlike dilapidated old fruits like you, eh “Mr.” Wolff?

I’ll bet this silly bastard got beat up at school every day when he was an obnoxious little fat kid shooting off his mouth all of the time.

Trump said he has never spoken to him. Of course, no one on MSNBC would think to challenge Mr. Wolff on his assertion...

From the author's notes at the beginning of the book:

Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue. Those conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book. Sometimes I have let the players offer their versions, in turn allowing the reader to judge them. In other instances I have, through a consistency in accounts and through sources I have come to trust, settled on a version of events I believe to be true.

In other words, he has no idea whether it's true or not.

Michael Wolff, a known despicable liberal skunk, was knowingly given access to the white House. Suspect Steve Bannon, who was given his great opportunity to shape and be part of history, was in the process of failing, losing power, and was angry and vengeful. Bannon is a classic example of the Peter principle. That principle states the climbers ultimately reach their level of incompetence. Bannon for psychological and perhaps intellectual limitations was not able to exercise his rare, unique opportunity. He, in his pique,knowingly let the skunk into the house.

Wolff’s imagination has definitely got the best of him. He no longer can distinguish the real from the surreal. Worse, as a writer, he doesn’t care.

Michael should be such an expert on “wingnuts”. I seriously doubt if one person in three can accurately describe an actual wingnut, which is a a lug that can be tightened by fingertips on a threaded bolt.
