I have never doubted that Trump is not that smart.

You know I am not sure what is creepier, plain Trump or @beschizza’s shoops.

You can get a sense of the author from this Hollywood Reporter piece he wrote:
The last line of the article is the most encouraging to me because it seems to portend an end to this national nightmare:
At Mar-a-Lago, just before the new year, a heavily made-up Trump failed to recognize a succession of old friends.
Happy first anniversary of the Trump administration.

I’ve been reading some responses to news of this book that suggest he’s been a bit… sloppy, shall we say, in the past. Not tabloid “sloppy,” but not as careful as one would like in a reporter. But if he’s got actual recordings backing this stuff up… whoo boy. Certainly the fact that Trump is trying to squash the book - to the point of siccing his lawyers to prevent it getting published - suggests he believes it to be accurate.

Trump is, as is widely acknowledged, a fucking moron, but surely HIS LAWYERS know that their motions have no hope of success, that of all possible books on all possible subjects this book is the MOST PROTECTED by the first amendment, and that it is NOT IN THEIR CLIENT’S INTEREST to invoke the wrath of St. Barbra like they’re doing

Somebody was singing the praises of Wolff’s editor for this book project, calling him very tight and very careful. Seconded by David Simon, also somebody who knows a thing or two about writing.

We know Trump does - and demands - a lot of dumb shit to/from his lawyers that they constantly struggle to deal with. E.g. routinely lying to his own lawyers (to the point where they only met him in pairs because that was the only way two people in the meetings would agree on what happened in them), reportedly his own lawyers lying to him because that was the only way to keep him from blatant obstruction, etc. I’m guessing he was pretty adamant (i.e. frothing-at-the-mouth crazy) about getting the book blocked and they couldn’t talk him out of it. Trump’s not just a fucking moron, he’s an obsessively stubborn fucking moron.

I’m getting the impression even Trump supporters are starting to think maybe this guy Trump’s a little too nuts to try and hold down a job which includes nuclear launch permissions. The fuckers got to gooooo.

I’m glad that the Mother of All Parliaments has never embarrassed itself in this manner.

Let’s see… If Trump were Scientology, he would have his team carefully go over the book to find or infer inaccuracies, no matter how trivial, then crow about them.
After that, when anything close to something in the book is asked about or mentioned, “I’m not going to discuss a Fake Book that was proven to be inaccurate and wrong.”
I don’t know if Trump himself is capable of that last part.

I wonder whether his legal team realize the difference between defending the interests of a middling famous and powerful RE mogul compared to the PRESIDENT OF THE FUCKING US. Trump certainly doesn’t. The sort of lawyer form letter that will get some disgruntled former employee of TRUMP Co to cower just smells like red meat to the guys they are dealing with now. I suspect that they’ve decided that billable hours are billable hours and the chance of getting disbarred for abuse of process is low enough not to worry about.

That’s been my biggest disappointment about this latest chapter in the shitshow–that Breitbart turned on Bannon instead of Trump. I feel like very much Breitbart is the conservative canary in the coal mine. When they break with Trump, the administration is going down.

As Colbert said last night, Trump has accused Wolfe both of lying, and of revealing secrets.
Well, which is it?

The comments are all over the place between Trump and Bannon, but that could be due to a lot of the alt-white being in shock.
Yeah, but I’d read Breitbart is trying to push Bannon out now.
