In reply to kevin stephens:
I’m about a fifth of the way through. It’s very readable and, while you get the feeling Wolff May have taken some license in reconstructing specific conversations, the book as a whole rings true. All of the pushback has focused on specific events, not the overall thrust of the book, which is that everyone around trump thinks he is unfit to be president. At one point the author defends Kellyanne Conway - she had meant to say “alternative information” when she said “alternative facts”. Still not true but less surreally so.
From reading the first part of the book, it feels like there is no time much of substance which isn’t already in the guardian extract, still less so the ny magazine article Toby links to. However, if you just love political gossip it’s well worth the read.
In terms of the impact on Trump, I think it won’t have much. We already know most of what is in the book and he has already shown that he is impervious to bad publicity. If anything it just keeps the Trump brand top of mind which will be great for his hotel franchise.
