Trump: Media promoting 'mentally deranged' Wolff's book

Source: The Hill




BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 01/13/18 05:19 PM EST

President Trump on Saturday tore into author Michael Wolff, calling him "mentally deranged," and claimed he wrote false information in his new book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House."




The president has repeatedly hit Wolff on the book, which contains several explosive claims about the president and the administration.

Wolff writes that several people close to Trump in the White House have questioned his mental fitness to serve as president. The claim as sparked renewed interest in the media on Trump's mental health.

The president's comments were his first public comments since a false mobile alert was sent in Hawaii warning people of an incoming missile.

Gee, we haven't heard about crooked Hillary, or sneaky Dianne, or the size of the inauguration crowd, or the margin of electoral college victory, or the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake. Thank you, Michael Wolff.

look at the bright side. When it counted they promoted a mentally deranged man for president and that's how we got you.

I see he is off the golf course now. No time to ease the fears of Hawaiians today, but plenty of time for golf and pitifully whining about me me me.

Hey trump, you are a shithole!

They may be looking at making a movie of it soon. The books making millions, and next a book about the dossier. Hope Chris Steele writes one on it. Bannon will have a book too. Trump's jealous.

Quite ironic I would say..


Also, not very smart, if Trump wants to keep the book from selling

Not one fucking word! Nothing to assure the people of Hawaii that all is well and the incident will be investigated. NO, only about Wolff's book.

This is a dereliction of duty.

because he's not getting a unearned cut. He was the fool that let in a former vanity fair author. The best judgement.

If he wants to see a mentally deranged fool, all he needs to do is look in a mirror.

You need to calm down a bit, Little Donnie Two-Scoops...

I haven't seen ANYONE promoting "The Art of the Deal" anywhere, lately.

He has really gone off the rails today.

My hunch is some of his more sensible and coherent tweets (though still dishonest garbage) are written by Dan Scavino or Stephen Miller
