Michael Wolff is well known for making up false stories, and quotes. LoL

Michael Wolff

In its review of Wolff's book Burn Rate, Brill's Content criticized Wolff for "apparent factual errors" and said that 13 people, including subjects he mentioned, complained that Wolff had "invented or changed quotes".

In a 2004 cover story for The New Republic, Michelle Cottle wrote that Wolff was "uninterested in the working press," preferring to focus on "the power players—the moguls" and was "fixated on culture, style, buzz, and money, money, money." She also noted that "the scenes in his columns aren’t recreated so much as created—springing from Wolff’s imagination rather than from actual knowledge of events."

Right, 'cause the guy who says Ted Cruz's daddy assassinated JFK doesn't like it when someone talks trash about him.

Default Wolfe's Book: A Bunch of Projecting onto Bannon, to Create Infighting..

The Truth of Bannon's words are now in big question. The author of this book has had a habit of sensationalizes and half truths, along with fully made up crap. Even inventing quotes, and lying about what people actually said.

Everyone is now waiting on Bannon to reply about Wolfe's comments in the soon to be released fictional book.


When I first heard this yesterday, it came across as a book Bannon had written.

Not sure if the book release will be delayed due to Trump's lawsuit.
The record shows tRump threatening lawsuits about as often as he changes underwear.

This will be another nonstarter, like 99% of the others. His "genius" legal team will no doubt want it kiboshed. Open court testimony on all of the damning statements wouldn't be good for tRump's fragile ego.

His history is clear.

Anyone still wondering why he's slagging on the NFL?

OK. There are two possibilities. Trump is trying to make an old friend rich by faking panic.

OR

Trump is so thin skinned that he is willing to tolerate no criticism at all.

I won't give him the credit for being that smart. His old friend turned on him and the smoke is coming out of his ears. Three or four people quit the Bush administration early on and wrote books.

Something else is now distracting him from his duties as President. Trump is largely ineffective. Fortunately the government will run itself.

That is not criticism, it is defamation. And yes, Trump has a right to sue.

Is the White House aware that "any publicity is good publicity?" News of Trump trying to block the book's release is great press for Bannon and Wolff. Book sales are going to skyrocket.
