Apparently now it's disgraceful to question The Hair's mental fitness. That dumb bitch better be careful. She's not going to get the kid gloves treatment Spicey got when he stopped being The Hair's press bitch. She's young enough that she still needs a career when The Hair no longer infests the White House, it's only the fringe of the fringe that will have her.

Her father's still making money selling alt-right talk to right wingers. Unlike Spicy she's bound to have a post-Trump line of work open.

I don't see her as dumb at all. I see her as a capable person with no scruples when it comes to her job. That combination makes her a virtuoso liar. Any lowlife politician of the right-wing variety would be crazy to leave talent like that on the bench for too long.

White House bans use of personal devices from West Wing

The White House is instituting new policies on the use of personal cell phones in the West Wing in the wake of damaging reports of a chaotic Trump administration detailed in a new book.​

But Wolff's claim is that he learned what he did by sitting in the West wing. All the principles were present there. My interpretation is that he got a lot of comments in passing, not that he was getting texts. He says he was allowed to sir on a couch in the West wing.

I sort of see this as an attempt to ban anything that might be used for recording or easy note-taking.

When The Hair is over, no one will want to be associated with this administration. The public face of The Hair's administration is going to be a reminder everyone will want to do without.

Rumor has it, Wolff did the same thing with Murdoch, did something making him look to be on Murdoch's side then got permission for a book which ended up being very negative.

Trump didn't look into Wolff's history. Wolff was right there promoting Trump during the campaign. So when he suggested he'd like to write a book, Trump no doubt saw it as a positive promotion type book.

This was on MSNBC and I can't readily find a cite so I'll leave this as a rumor.

Reinforces the suspected reason for all the GOP ass kissing of Trump in those disgusting testimonials.

Au contraire, they can be sure to be able to part a great deal of money from a stable core of diehard sycophantic fools for some years after.

He also said he's got lots of recordings.

Which is not to say that the idiots in the White House aren't perfectly capable of issuing an entirely meaningless and ineffectual decree to their staff and visitors.

This was formerly known as The Garry Moore Response. (Brits.... not Gary, the guitarist, the American TV host from the 50s and 60s). He once told Jack Parr that this was how he handled negative fan male. He'd write them a real sweet letter along those lines. "Dear Mrs. Tompkins, I'm writing to inform you that someone you know must have it in for you, and is sending out foolish, ill-informed and abusive letters, using your name. I enclose the original in the case that you may be able to identify the person doing this. I no longer need it because the police said there really wasn't anything they could do about it."

"You Can’t Make This ---- Up": My Year Inside Trump's Insane White House (Michael Wolff)

I interviewed Donald Trump for The Hollywood Reporter in June 2016, and he seemed to have liked — or not disliked — the piece I wrote. "Great cover!" his press assistant, Hope Hicks, emailed me after it came out (it was a picture of a belligerent Trump in mirrored sunglasses). After the election, I proposed to him that I come to the White House and report an inside story for later publication — journalistically, as a fly on the wall — which he seemed to misconstrue as a request for a job. No, I said. I'd like to just watch and write a book. "A book?" he responded, losing interest. "I hear a lot of people want to write books," he added, clearly not understanding why anybody would. "Do you know Ed Klein?"— author of several virulently anti-Hillary books. "Great guy. I think he should write a book about me." But sure, Trump seemed to say, knock yourself out.

Since the new White House was often uncertain about what the president meant or did not mean in any given utterance, his non-disapproval became a kind of passport for me to hang around — checking in each week at the Hay-Adams hotel, making appointments with various senior staffers who put my name in the "system," and then wandering across the street to the White House and plunking myself down, day after day, on a West Wing couch.
