Betrayal, idiocy and cosmetic surgery ... A book harms Donald Trump
In "Fire and Fury: Inside Trump's White House," which will appear on January 9, US columnist Michael Wolff "swings" at the US president.
The White House has already castigated its "false or misleading accounts", but the American columnist Michael Wolff assures the veracity of his remarks. In Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, to be published on January 9, the journalist makes numerous revelations about the American president and his entourage.
The Washington Post, Guardian, New York Magazine and 20 Minutes have had access to the right pages of this book, based on nearly 200 interviews with Donald Trump, who is already causing a storm in Washington.
Steve Bannon accuses Trump and his son-in-law of treason
For former Trump chief adviser Steve Bannon, the meeting between Donald Trump's son and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, with a Russian lawyer close to the Kremlin in June 2016 (revealed by the New York Times) was an act of " treason".
"These three high-ranking executives thought it was a good idea to meet a foreign government on the 25th floor of Trump Tower - without a lawyer. Even if you don't think of it as betrayal and some crazy unpatriotic stuff. -and I consider it to be all of these at the same time- they should have called the FBI right away, ”reports Michael Wolff. To which Trump replied: "When he was fired [last August], he not only lost his job, he also lost his mind."
Trump didn't think he could win the presidential election, he didn't even want to be president
Michael Wolff says: "Trump's ultimate goal has never been to win." He reportedly told his assistant Sam Nunberg that he wanted to become "the most famous man in the world" and was considering starting a television channel. Even engaged in the presidential race, Donald Trump assured his wife Melania, who feared that his nude photos would be disclosed, that he had no chance.
But on election night, when his victory began to be announced and the trend began to confirm, candidate Trump would have transformed from "a confused Trump to a horrified Trump." The reporter claims that shortly after 8 p.m., "Donald Junior told a friend that his father looked like someone who had seen a ghost. Melania was in tears - and no joy." But after an hour, the real estate mogul suddenly convinced himself "that he deserves and is capable of being the President of the United States."
Trump would rather trust his gut than read
Once at the White House, the new president of the United States would not have set to work either. A follower of bulleted summaries rather than long summaries, Donald Trump "did not read, not even diagonally. Some (of his advisers) considered that he was at most half-educated." Former deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh even reportedly said "it's like trying to figure out what a child wants."
“Early in the campaign,” his lack of involvement would have already been felt. Wolff reports that Sam Nunberg failed to explain the US Constitution to candidate Trump. "I went all the way to the 4th Amendment, before his finger fell to his lips and attention was lost."
Several current executives in his administration would also have called him a "nerd" and "idiot" and his economics adviser Gary Cohn would have said of him that he was "dumb as shit" ("dumb as shit"). NBC News also claimed last October that Rex Tillerson called the president, who wanted to increase America's nuclear capabilities tenfold, a "moron."
Because he fears being poisoned, he prefers to eat McDonald's food
It is no coincidence that the American president likes this fast food so much. Donald Trump "has long been afraid of being poisoned - that's one of the reasons he likes to eat at McDonald's": "nobody knows he's coming and the food is prepared in advance," writes Michael Wolff.
According to the journalist, the employees of his private quarters at the White House are not allowed to touch anything, "especially not his toothbrush," he said.
His daughter Ivanka wants to become the first president of the United States
With her husband Jared Kushner, himself particularly involved in the political life of the country and accused of having made a pact with the Russians, Ivanka Trump would dream of being the future first woman president of the United States. The couple are said to have decided that, "if one day the opportunity presented itself, she would be the candidate for the presidency." "Ivanka was fond of the idea that the first woman president would not be Hillary Clinton, it would be Ivanka Trump," says Michael Wolff.
Her hair is not a wig, but ...
To become president, the president's daughter and mother of a large family will probably have to learn to speak less often. According to Wolff, Ivanka Trump would have told her friends the so well-kept secret of her father's hair: "An absolutely clean bald head top" a small island limited by scalp operation "surrounded by a circle of hair in front and on the sides, which are smoothed to cover the top and held with a strong lacquer ".
This information would counterbalance the version of Donald Trump's doctor who advanced, last February to the New York Times, that the president had "all his hair" and that he was taking a drug that stimulates its growth, being careful not to specify whether this hair had been relocated to the top of his head.
The color would (obviously) not be natural either. The president would use the Just for Men-branded dye, which would be darker and less yellow if Donald Trump wasn't so impatient.
