Trump Continues to Rage Against Wolff's 'Fake Book': 'Reagan Had the Same Problem'

Source: Mediate




by Justin Baragona | 9:52 am, January 7th, 2018

President Donald Trump just cannot stop lashing out at the new Michael Wolff tell-all on his administration. This morning, Trump sent out yet another tweet about Fire and Fury, this time invoking a former president to make his case that the book is untruthful.




The president has spent several days in a row slamming the book while simultaneously going to war with former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who is credited with the most provocative remarks in Fire and Fury. He’s labeled Bannon “Sloppy Steve” and his lawyer sent cease-and-desist letters to both Bannon and Wolff in an attempt to stop the release of the book.

Those letters, however, did no good as the book’s release was actually moved up to Friday. During an impromptu presser yesterday, the president seemed to indicate that he won’t follow through with a lawsuit as he said the libel laws in the country are very weak.

and where Trump wants to build a wall, Reagan got credit for tearing one down.

Something Trump absolutely cannot.

We *are* probably lucky world leaders didn't have access to Twitter during the Cold War, though. Edit: the whole joking in front of a live mic was bad enough of an incident.

Revealed that Reagan's Chief Of Staff had Psychiatrists sit in on meetings to evaluate RR's mental competence.

His Cabinet had meetings about the 25th Amendment, which is removal for incompetency.

Book portrayed a President who is pretty much "out of it" and a staff that is covering up and standing in for him.

Thank God for the "Deep State".

Sounds to me like he's saying, "Hey, St. Ronnie was president while impaired, I can do it too!" Unreal.

With tRump, all you have to do is look at every Tweet he's written and every time he's talked off-script.

The etymology of the term fake book is that it allowed someone to fake by providing simple versions in simple musical language!
The WH idiot has been faking it a lifetime, with simple minded beliefs and dumbed down language
