Michael Wolff's new tell-all book has got the American media culture all worked up. Fire and Fury's explosive details about the Trump administration and its apparent incompetence have everyone talking. Many of the books most juicy quotes come from former Trump campaign manager and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon who said, among many other things, that President Trump's son, Don Jr., was treasonous and unpatriotic for taking a meeting with Russian officials at Trump Tower in 2016.
If there is one thing we know about this president, it is that he cannot handle negative press of any kind. Michael Wolff supposedly occupied a space in the West Wing from the inauguration until October of 2017 where he made contact with Trump and many of his officials. Now that the book has been released, Trump has unleashed his fury, suing Wolff's publisher, and telling Bannon that he has "lost his mind." Trump even went so far as to give Bannon a new insulting nickname, "Sloppy Steve."
Fire and Fury has reopened Trump's most sensitive wound, the world's perception of him. Those most involved in his political career have lambasted his competency and demeanor in the highest office. They have confirmed the suspicions of outsiders who felt something was amiss in this White House.
In this clip, we talk about Trump's reactions to Bannon's comments in Fire and Fury and what impact the book may have on Trump personally.
