Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House writer Michael Wolff told Stephen Colbert on Monday night that he’s surprised by how much of a splash his book has made in the past week. That baffled the Late Show host: “You describe the president as mentally unstable, unfit for the office,” he pointed out. “Basically kind of gibbering to his cheeseburger when he goes to bed. He’s got the launch codes. Why wouldn’t that cause a splash?”
Wolff’s reply? “Because I thought we knew this!”
In truth, Wolff’s book does paint a picture many readers are probably already familiar with: an incompetent, child-like president; warring factions within the White House; an overarching belief among those who surround Donald Trump that he’s unfit for office. But the details have been juicy enough to make the book an overnight success—even earning Wolff a personal bashing from the president, which, of course, only served to move up the book’s publication date and, probably, encouraged more people to buy it. But getting those details, Wolff admits, required a lot of judgment calls—because apparently everyone in the White House has their own contradictory story.
