Cont: The Trump Presidency Part IV

The whole issue with interviewing cabinet members is meaningless. The book is about the inner workings of the White House. Cabinet members are rarely at the White House. They have their own offices and tend to their jobs. Trump has only had two or three cabinet meetings since taking office.

Finished listening to the book yesterday.

I did not get the impression he had necessarily sat down with cabinet members for interviews. I assumed the attributions of what was said came from third parties who overheard the comments.

I found the picture painted by the book believable and consistent with what has been leaking out or tweeted by the President over the last year. I do not expect books like this to be without error, and a few errors do not eliminate the overall gist of what is presented.

Last Sunday’s Reliable Sources podcast was mostly devoted to the book, and probably worth a listen.

As an aside, I think you can get a free trial on Audible.com, and use your credit to buy the book. Then cancel before your first payment is due, if you don’t anticipate buying more audiobooks.

Apart from someone on here...
Did either:
A) Mr. Wolff claim he interviewed a bunch of cabinet members?
B) Someone of importance claim Mr. Wolff interviewed a bunch of cabinet members?

...therefore casting some "shade" on his research and therefore the book?

The problem they are finding with Trump is that he is starting to say what he actually thinks and believes, as opposed to being the party-line figurehead they need.

Ultimately, he will still sign anything they send him, mainly because he doesn't understand any of it. But it's not because he is a republican.

Maybe when he conducts the Fake News Awards, the Very Stable Genius will reveal the letters written to him by news anchors saying how awesome his meeting was.

And let’s also remember this looney lie about presidential debate conflicts:

"I'll tell you what I don't like. It's against two NFL games. I got a letter from the NFL saying, 'This is ridiculous,'" Trump claimed.

An NFL spokesman said that never happened.

"While we'd obviously wish the debate commission could find another night, we did not send a letter to Trump," the league said in a statement.​
 
I’m surprised he doesn’t have whiplash!

What I like about this story is the remarkable disconnect with human nature. Who, in the history of the world, has watched a meeting and later proclaimed it one of the greatest meetings ever held, going so far as to contact and congratulate the chair?

Whoa, what a totally kickass meeting, dude! Totally pumped just watching it! Wow.

Nope, people who support Trump have only the best sources.

Even better, the You Tube poster does not link to the actual CBS interview, but instead links to an article on The Daily Caller web site. And even THEY do not link to the interview itself...

EDIT: I compared the time length of both videos, and it is the same item. However, the fact that both sources did not link to the original video still stands...

Trump and Sanders
What a pair of slimy salamanders
This I tell you, brother
You can't believe one or the other

Try, try, try to separate them
There's no collusion
Try, try, try and you will shake your head
At your conclusion.

Trump and Sanders...

'Fire & Fury' author admits he did not interview anyone in Trump's cabinet.

Even though he attributes "revelations" to cabinet members in his book.
TFW your source of truth is yet another liar.

Whether or not Wolff claimed to have interviewed cabinet members, in my mind, this is the relevant claim that theprestige needs to provide some support. I really do want to know what claims in the book this is referring to. I have not seen it in the book which, again, I haven't yet finished.
 
President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers Thursday in the Oval Office when they floated restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal, according to two people briefed on the meeting.

“Why are we having all these people from ******** countries come here?” Trump said, according to these people, referring to African countries and Haiti. He then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he met yesterday.

The comments left lawmakers taken aback, according to people familiar with their reactions. Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) proposed cutting the visa lottery program by 50 percent and then prioritizing countries already in the system, a White House official said.

A White House spokesman declined to offer an immediate comment on Trump’s remarks.

No, I don’t think he’s a xenophobic, race-baiting religious bigot—as president.

Trump has done it again. He touted the sale of the F-52 fighter jet to Norway.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42651544

Of course, the F-52 doesn't exist. So boy, will Norway be embarrassed to find that they purchased a fictional plane!

Note: If it were anyone else I would suggest Trump made an honest mistake and was probably talking about the sale of 52 F-35s. However, since Trump likes to brag about how smart he is, and Trump fans jump all over Democratic mistakes (Obama's 57 states anyone?) then obviously Trump actually did sell the F-52.
