Michael Wolff, the author of the new Anti-Trump book, doesn’t know which parts are true

A great Business Insider piece reveals a note in the new anti-Trump book ‘Fire and Fury’ that states the author himself is unsure exactly what parts are true, and leaves is up to the reader to decide.

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.”

President Trump tweeted Thursday that Wolff‘s book was “full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist.”

I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book! I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist. Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!

This book is nothing more than the paper bound equivalent of the Russian Dossier. It is total rubbish with just enough truth for the Mainstream Media to give it a major platform and breathlessly repeat the lies often enough in enough venues to get the sheep in believing it.
