100 percent of the people around Trump question his intelligence and fitness for office, calling him a 'moron' and an 'idiot'
"Author Michael Wolff said Friday that '100 percent' of the people around President Donald Trump question his intelligence and fitness for office, with some calling him a 'moron' and an 'idiot.'
Even Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, the president's son-in-law and elder daughter, both of whom are senior White House advisers, have moved out of the way to let the bus roll over the former Trump Organization executive, Wolff said.
'They all say he is like a child. And what they mean like that is a need for immediate gratification. It's all about him,' Wolff told 'Today' on Friday. 'They say he's a moron, an idiot.'
Wolff claimed there's a 'competition to get to the bottom line here of who this man is' within the White House.
'This man does not read, does not listen. He's like a pinball, just shooting off the sides.'
The White House slapped down speculation that the president is 'unfit' for office on Thursday after anecdotes in Wolff's bombshell book about the first year of Donald Trump 's presidency raised new questions about the 71-year-old's mental competency.
'It's disgraceful and laughable. If he was unfit he probably wouldn't be sitting there, wouldn't have defeated the most qualified group of candidates the Republican Party has ever seen,' press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.
A news report also revealed today that congressional Democrats invited a Yale psychologist to provide them with an assessment of president's cognitive activity.
Author Michael Wolff claimed in a Thursday essay in the Hollywood Reporter that Trump is increasingly forgetful, repeating stories word-for-word inside 10 minutes and failing to recognize old friends.
The essay is based on his explosive book, Fire and Fury, and includes other material.
To hide his failings from the public, Wolff claims the White House hatched a plan last fall to have interviewers submit their questions beforehand."

The author of the book appeared on the Today Show this morning and was asked by host Savannah Guthrie if he wanted to modify his claim that Trump aides think he is not fit for office.
Wolff doubled down , saying that he wants to be clear, 100% of the Trump aides he talked to say Trump is not fit for office.
His poorly educated semi-literate followers will come out and defend him though. They want to imagine that barely reading and being clueless about history and world affairs is the norm because it is in their little hollers.
Fox, Rush and Glenn all came along and the far right sub 100 Iqers think that fools should rule.
He had them hook, line and sinker when he told them "I'm very smart - I know words, I have the best words".
Qualified - lol! Stop, you’re killing me!
The time is approaching for all Americans to rethink their support for Donald Trump. I am specifically thinking of the moderates and independents who have heretofore said that they are not interested in criticizing Trump. This insanity cannot stand.
It's not working for you John...this daily posting of non news articles. It's kinda funny in a way.
Funny in a sad way
Non-news? oh, you mean it wasn't on fox(gag!) "news", the propaganda of choice for people like trump and who like trump. Proof that people know LESS about world events with fux then they do without it.
LOL
Fox is #1 because it's the ONLY ultra-rt televised "news" out there. All the other actual news channels compete for everyone else who doesn't watch fox. That splits it up pretty good.
Talk about a turd getting stale..LOL apparently "get Clinton" is a turd with a infinite shelf life.
What those those around Trump are really saying.
New Wolff Book Is ‘National Enquirer on Steroids’: Former Trump Aide
The man who helped Steve Bannon guide Donald Trump’s successful campaign for president in 2016 appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday night and dismissed a new bombshell book about the White House as the “National Enquirer on steroids.”
David Bossie, who took a leave of absence as president of Citizens United to serve as deputy campaign manager for Trump, told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that author Michael Wolff’s reputation raises serious credibility questions.
“This book seems to be [the] National Enquirer on steroids. It’s just sensational journalism. It’s not journalism,” he said. “I’m concerned about what is true and what isn’t true. This author has a history of taking liberties with things.”
It would seem that 100% is a a bit of a stretch by this author, but some people live in a world of absolutes and if something isn't absolute, someone will make it absolute........
Lets say he is wrong, or, embellishing by 50%, (people around trump saying that he is an idiot and shouldn't be president), that's still 50% of trumps own people saying that he is a dumb ass. No matter how you spin this, it's bad. Even tillerson said months ago that trump is a "fucking moron". The fact that trump isn't the sharpest tool in the shed is not new news.
Having read our President's moronic tweets, do we really need a book to confirm?
Like Trump makes everything an absolute?
He hasn't even made it to the shed yet, he's still trying to open he door.
So even after a few years of obvious Trump lies about anything and everything folks can still defend him? How sick is that?
I think it would be wise to learn about the author,
Bill Clinton left public office in 2001. Mrs. Clinton has not held public office for five years. The Clinton Foundation was probably the most audited and publically transparent non-profit charity ever. Innumerable congressional investigations of the Clintons and the Clinton Foudation have come up with nothing illegal. The Clintons have made their personal tax returns public going back over forty years. The desperation of the reicht wing nimrods to point fingers at The Clintons is not working. It will go nowhere unlike the ongoing investigations into the malfeaseance of the Trump campaign and administration. Those who work closely with Trump know he is unfit for office and 100% of them have privately said so. The Clintons are retired public servants. Trump is going to be fired...
Don't you remember that the Clinton's had to refile their tax returns for the Clinton Foundation a few years ago because of "irregularities".
Again, the audits of the Clinton's and The Clinton Foundation are public. You can't say that about Trump...
Prove it.
Trump LOVES the National Enquirer. He said they should have won the Pulitzer Prize and that they are a good source and right most of the time. Wonder if David Bossie knows that. Or that Trump praised the National Enquirer when they endorsed him.
Oh come on, the PRESIDENT of "Citizens United" (isn't that one of the Koch Bro's little outfits? hard to keep track, they have so many) and fux can't do a better job of character assassination then THAT? Pretty weak.
The term most often used to describe trump is he's a child, which makes him only slightly brighter than his supporters. That's like saying a small candle in a coalmine makes it "brighter."
Hope he made his owners happy, I'd hate to see a clip or read in a article that Mercer bitch-slapped him in public...again.
Donald Trump says he never spoke to the author of the book. He is lying.
When are you going to wake up and realize trump is a constant liar?
Sarah Huckabee Sanders came out yesterday and whined about how the president was upset because people were not telling the truth about him. Please, Sanders gets up there and lies every day, for Trump.
The country should not be forced to endure this insanity for three more years. The people have done nothing to deserve this.
some of the people have.
When are you going to wake up and realize that they DON'T CARE that Trump is a liar? They never have. IMHO, they WANT him to lie, they WANT him to ignore all convention, they WANT him to flush all norms down the toilet. They no longer want the Presidency to be a hallowed post. They see it as tainted, it's no longer worthy of their respect. When Trump destroys the Presidency beyond all recognition, they'll cheer.
You'd think it was obvious a good example is Mexico is gonna pay for my beautiful wall...so beautiful, with a big "T" on it for trump. Now he's trying to use blackmail of the dreamers to get a 18 billion to start his wall.
Why is it "conservatives" can't let a dime out to help people in this country because the country can't afford it, but when it's something for themselves or their masters money is no object?
By the way, what happened to "infrastructure week?" guess it lasted just a week and they didn't have time to fix ANYTHING.
Doesn't matter, no doubt the evil Democrats did something to stop it. They're so evil....
You do realize that you posted someone's OPINION, right?
100 percent of the people around Trump question his intelligence and fitness for office, calling him a 'moron' and an 'idiot
Awwwww...look, the author of the seed and President Trump seem to have something in common.
Congrats!!
Anyone who needs a book to see that Donald Trump is a disgrace and unfit for the office of POTUS, is pretty much blind to what has been happening in front of their eyes since Trump announced his run for President.
Of course. The book, though, brings it back to the forefront (not that it ever should have left the forefront).
It must suck for Democrats when things are looking up.
Trump makes NATO members pony up what they owe and what they are required to fund.
Trump cuts taxes, and companies give out bonuses and raises.
The Iranian people on the outskirts are now protesting their own government again , Trump Approves out loud. Iranian People still protesting.
Trump speaks, the stock market grows even more (401K and IRA members must be ecstatic).
Rocket man spouts, Trump hits back hard, North Korea now wants to have a sit down with South Korea.
DAESH land holdings down to nothing.
ETC.................
ETC..................
ETC..................
Like I said....when good things keep happening, Democrats WILL loose again !
Of course, libs are going to spin all of this as credit for Obama. According to them, we all know that for 8 straight years of Obama, he was just ramping up for a killer (in a good way) economy, wages, taxes and immigration for the next administration to enjoy.
I wonder if Hillary were President, and the same positives were happening (we all know they wouldn't be), would the libs be trying to give credit to Obama or would they say Obama had nothing to do with it and it is all Hillary.
Obama has been trying to take credit for what Trump has been doing.
" would the libs be trying to give credit to Obama or would they say Obama had nothing to do with it and it is all Hillary."
The later.
Cite a reference for your claim that Obama seeks credit. Trump has been riding the economic inertia and inertia only lasts so long. Trump claims credit for everything and blames everyone. Deny it!
Not very hard at all !
F ormer President Barack Obama is taking credit for the robust economic growth that is taking place under President Trump.
At a conference of mayors in Chicago, Mr. Obama congratulated himself Tuesday for strong employment numbers in the U.S. this year, saying his climate-change policies have contributed to growth.
“As we took these actions, we saw the U.S. economy grow consistently,” Mr. Obama said. “We saw the longest streak of job creation in American history by far, a streak that still continues by the way.”
He added wryly, “Thanks, Obama.”
Obama takes credit for what he has done, trump demands credit for things he hasn't done. Dose trump take credit for jobs added? Yes... Well?
Then you must have LOVED Obama!
Sorry....Still don't see Trump as a Problem to date.
The Little Red line is Longer than the Blue line you had this need to highlight.
I guess that would be Obama too ?
by the way....where did that cute little chart come from anyway ?
I'm not going to bother with it now, but the next time I seed about Trump there is going to be a warning to stay on topic or your comment will be removed.
This means you Norman.
That's pretty funny Norman, trump literally blames everything on everyone but himself. He has done so so many times that there is literally no one but his kids left to blame. Just as an example of how ridiculous your list is? Who is in charge of security at the WH? The Secret Service, so yes, it was the SS that canceled the tours because of all the racist right wingers making threats against our nations first Black President.
It says where it comes from at the bottom.. US labor and statistics. Duh.
Well, I am counting 35 blue lines that are higher than trumps ONE red line. I mean, if you want to go down that road.
Give Trump 8 years....then you can
if it isn't better.
Unless your saying that 1 year of Trump is worth 8 years of Obama.
Should I
too NOW ?
On the bottom, it states US Bureau of Labor Statistics, but in all of my years examining them, I've never seen red crayon drawings on them.
Ok! He won't last 4, but ok. Put it this way, you don't get to toot trumps horn on jobs without saying that Obama was good for jobs as well. Thanks!
So because someone wrote a note on it, it means all the data is wrong? Not partisan a bit are you Jasper? LOL
would you like that cuddle now?
I have NEVER said Obama was totally bad on jobs.
I have said....he was mediocre at it with his Debbie Downer and regulation hungry attitude all the time !
We're so sorry....Uncle Albert...........
Oh yea, just an FYI?
job gains December 2017: 171,000
job gains December 2016: 187,000
.
Just sayin.. LOL
Giggity..
Of course!
They had to make notes on it in crayon so republicans would understand it.
Wow....Trumps 1st year and the "END" of Obamas 8 years .
Good job ?
Since Trump has only been in office 1 year, I'll note this:
Trumps 2017 year had higher growth than Obama's 2012 year.
How's that one.
"Shhhhnnnnnorkle".........
Time to lighten up. All I said was that I've never seen official government documents with [hand-drawn] red crayon marks on them before. There was nothing "partisan" about my comment, and you know it.
Partisanship is especially strong in that comment.
You did know the polls reflect the popular vote, which Hillary won, right? Poor Norman, didn't know that polls do NOT reflect the electorate.
A guy named Sam Stein posted it on his Twitter account. Looks like Sam's primary go-to "news source" is Daily Beast, btw.
Soo....has Trump taken responsibility for Niger yet?! What about that Yemen raid?(Didn't he actually try to blame Obama for that one?!)......Obamacare Repeal and Replace?!......anyone?
It's more of a faux moral superiority. It's like a Jr high cliche with them. Sophomoric and sad.
And MrFrost and Trout Giggles and ...... if you really mean it that is.
All facts, some just aren't man enough to handle to truth. By the way, the majority of the quotes come directly from the linked articles.
They owe nothing and nothing is required, yet.
Participation in NATO is not a financial transaction between countries.
In 2014, in response to Russia's antics, NATO decided to make each member target a 2% threshold as a goal to be reached by 2024.
Each nation, including the USA, determines it's own level of funding, and much like the Paris agreement, compliance is voluntary.
Let's HOPE that Trump decides on $0.00 contribution.
"Trump’s remarkable public scolding of NATO :
At NATO’s gleaming new headquarters, Trump returned to his longstanding call for member nations to pay their fair share, lecturing leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel and new French President Emmanuel Macron about contributing more as they stood listening in awkward silence.
“This is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the United States,” Trumps said in brief remarks. “If NATO countries made their full and complete contributions, then NATO would be even stronger than it is today, especially from the threat of terrorism.”
The 28 member nations, plus soon-to-join Montenegro, will renew an old vow to move toward spending 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense by 2024. Only five members currently meet the target: Britain, Estonia, debt-laden Greece, Poland and the United States, which spends more on defense than all the other allies combined."
Loved it when he scolded them for being able to pay for the Big Buck NATO Monument/headquarters, but couldn't keep up with their promises.
AGAIN, promises instituted in 2014, due date for target is 2024........
Ie, started long before Trump entered politics, but it's certain that if all of the members make good by 2024,
Trump will take credit for that too.
"IF"....operative word "IF" !
They haven't ponied up for decades and decades. If they had, this so-called "Promise" wouldn't have needed to be enacted.
Trump is still right on this !
of course, we ALL know how Political Promises are ALWAYS kept.....don't we.
Trickle down has never worked before. Einstein said that doing the same thing over and over again and hoping for different results is the definition of insanity
Funny....I make Mucho money when it trickles down from the companies that hire me.
Weird isn't it ?
And when Trump trash talks into the next world war?
I figured Obama's ACTUAL "WAR" actions would have already done that....didn't you ?
But I guess a Nobel "PEACE" Prize winner placates others from going any further than it went.
I have to say this first .....I have not read the book.....and I probably will never read the book......But so far what has been in the news......Leads me to believe this is nothing but a money making opportunity and payback for being fired......all designed to take advantage of the hatred the left has toward Trump....It will be consumed like Candy by the Left.....and revered as Absolute Truth when it fits their narrative/agenda to remove President Trump from Office......
Message to the Left.......Enjoy your Sugar Buzz......
True American Pat, when Donald Trump says something, do you believe him?
Did you believe our last President that said you could keep your Doctor, your Plan and on top of that...... your Premiums will shrink by $2500?
Another Newsflash.......Politicians Lie.....I'm more interested in how his actions and policies effect the Country.....and I'm sure that you will say he is Destroying the Country......what a bunch of Baloney! The left says his Tax Plan is Armageddon for the Middle Class in one breath and then says that the tax cuts need to be made permanent......so spare me with the Honesty Talk....
After the GOP gutted the plan a lot of inclusions were lost and if that is your gotcha moment, you lose.
No .....I lost the moment the Democrats Passed Obamacare.....
Trump has lied hundreds of times in the past couple years , (more if you count repeats). He is by far the biggest liar ever in the White House, and likely the biggest liar ever in any level of government.
He is also an extreme narcissist who is psychologically unstable. He needs to be removed from office.
He is saying that because trump lies so much... He isn't saying that HE is making false statements, he is saying that the statements in the book from trump may not be true because that dumb piece of shit lies 80% of the time.
If obstructionists like you would sit down and be quiet we could get on with it.
I fixed that jackwad statement of yours.
Oh please, the repubs have been saying, "Hillary will be arrested any day now!!!!" for the last 25 years. Have some patience, trump most likely won't go to jail, (which is a shame since his skin would be a perfect match for his prison jumpsuit), but I am 90% sure he will be impeached, 85% sure that he will be thrown out of office/resign in disgrace. Then he can be free to move in with his BFF Putin, because he will not be welcome here in the USA.
Your predictions have been right on over the last couple of years. I remember when you said Trump would never make it past Christmas 2015, then you said he would never win the primaries. Then, you said if Trump won the primaries, a Republican would not see the White House for a generation.
After all that, you said there was no way Trump would beat Hillary. Then, after wiping the tears in your eyes in your pussy hat, you said the electors would do the right thing and vote Hillary. After a record number of electors switched from Hillary to Trump, you swore Trump would never make it to Christmas 2017.....and here we are.
Man, o man, you have been right on /s
Keep up the great work.
Of course they do. The average politician lies ~40% of the time, which is scary....trump lies over 80% of the time. If he will lie about the size of his crowds, (which is stupid to start with given all the cameras present), he will lie about anything.
So, how much of those 40 plus percent lies over 8 years of Obama did you call out, and cry about it incessantly?
Actually Obama is only around 25%... go look it up.
All subjective. You swooned over every word he said, and you believe he was stating the gospel truth.
You hate Trump for one reason and one reason only....His name is not Hillary.
I actually am shocked that you would dare accuse Obama of lying...at all. Do you now know that your liberal brethren are going to ridicule you, insult you, call you names and put you in yet another little box that they (you) hate?
You better start begging for forgiveness now.
Way past time to get on with the impeachment process. Jail Him!
It's called being honest, something that the right is not capable of.
Yes, trump did.
Just fake news isn't it. The only real news worships your supreme leader and it is spewed from the State News Channel known as faux.
Skirting the CoC [ph]
That is a personal attack.....I have never done that to you......So don't do it to me.
Skirting the CoC [ph] I know a lot of right wingers like that.
If reading a book that should be in the Fiction Section is your idea of being informed.....then I will stay "Uninformed".........I can't read for long periods of time without it causing headaches and dizziness....I have a Traumatic Brain Injury from a Childhood Accident....So I pick and choose what I read carefully......
I apologize for lumping you in with the President who has no valid excuse for not reading.
No Problem.....You didn't know about my TBI.....Don't worry about it.....
I hope the book comes out in audio form so you can listen to it.
Until then it continues to come out in this Form.....
Speaking of chocolate, I understand that Michael Wolff is wanting to know were Trump wants his box of chocolates sent because, Trump doesn't want the book published and, has said so, so, the book will probably sell like hot cakes.
Trump saw that there is a picture of him on the cover so he ordered four copies.
Trump won't read the book until it's transcribed with crayons.
Trump can't digest any information that isn't pre-chewed and regurgitated by a Fox News pundit into his tiny bird brain.
Trump claims credit for commercial aviation safety record although it preceded him by nine years, he oddly has yet to claim credit for gun safety, or the opioid epidemic, waiting.
Trump is the undisputed king of taking credit where he doesn't deserve it, and assigning blame to others when it's clearly his fault.
Since nobody can shoot him without the secret service responding I guess that is a form of gun safety.
You apparently completely misconstrued his comment, it was not an "assassination wish". He simply pointed out that because the President has secret service protecting him he's moronic enough to claim credit for "gun control" like he idiotically claimed credit for "airline safety".
Sure wasn't wishful thinking. Just an observation. I believe in democracy.
If someone did shoot trump, it would probably be Bannon or one of his gang, or somebody he used as a scapegoat and then fired.
I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone, not even trump.
Of course, if in the course of the investigation, it means trump goes by-by in jail for a few years, I would find that hilarious.
LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!! LOCK HIM UP!!!
That's fun to say, but it has a oddly familiar ring to it for some reason. Must have been a song, I remember it being very popular for a while.
Or the 13 year old girl he raped all grown up but denied justice.
I'm surprised that the book came out this week.
Based upon what I've heard about it, it should probably have been published in June.
Looks like "beach reading"....
Kitty Kelley, where are you?
LOL
Well you see, trump and friends made some nasty noises against the book being published, and the publisher did what publishers do when people tell them to "lose that book," he published it earlier.
Too bad trump can't read, it's happened before.
100%?
I don't even know Wolff but he loses all credibility with that comment alone
What a buffoon!
He must have been rounding up, which would explain why Stephen Miller was not represented.
Even left-wing media (CNN, NYT, Salon, etc) call Wolff a liar ...
I wonder if anyone here got the book and read the 10th page of the prologue:
Here is the relevant part of the note, from the 10th page of the book's prologue:
"Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue. These conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book.
"Sometimes I have let the players offer their versions, in turn allowing the reader to judge them. In other instances I have, through a consistency in the accounts and through sources I have come to trust, settled on a version of events I believe to be true."
What that note essentially says: "Some of this book may be true, but I don't know which parts and some of it is outright lies. But, please take this book as gospel."
