        If he's actually fighting to have the book not be published, that gives a lot of credibility to the contents.

        Doesn't Woolf's book say Trump couldn't sit still for a minisessions on the Amendments? Too boring and confusing?

        Seriously. I dispise him, but if you had dyslexia or learning disabilities years ago; no help. With all his money, nothing changed that. I believe he has ADHD too.

        #SarahHuckabeeSanders can spin away. And the more she spins, the more enticing #Wolff’s book becomes. #FireAndFury is going to haunt #Trump for MONTHS to come. It jumped 40,000 spots to become the Amazon #1 bestseller.pic.twitter.com/4kHuJFQLhJ

        Are you being deliberately obtuse? Surely you're smart enough to understand that these two statements are not contradictory?

        Are you freaking kidding? Repubd are turning out to be more for the people then Dems. They are the ones fighting for freedom of speech and expression. Dems are fighting against these things.

        Privileged conversations between a Chief Strategist and the #POTUS would be a good enough reason.
