I heard the live interview with the author of this book on "Today" this morning, and Michael Wolff made a good defence of his legations.

Even if only half of them are true, then the Trump situation is worse than we thought.

//To announce your own genius in anything other than a jokey fashion is a worry in itself. //

Under normal circumstances I would agree, however under constant bombardment from sour grape loosers how would you cope? I am pretty sure I would do/say some odd things.

Not a fan of Oscar Wilde then. :)) Who "supposedly" said just that.

[bainbrig]

Mr Trump is as sane as most of the nutters round here, youngmafdog for instance.

[youngmafbog]

Ah, more name calling.

You clearly have not read what I have said have you?

Oh well ignore what I say if you want to see Trump in for the next 7 years.

[Khandro]

I ran out of space, there were 81 in total, just last year

[jno]

a simple link to the Washington Examiner might have been easier than cutting and pasting the whole story...

[ichkeria]

Trump is being assessed as mentally feeble, rightly or wrongly, by people like Steve Bannon. That isn’t ‘the left’!!!
These are all people from his own particular swamp.

[jno]

well, he thinks he's a stable genius. Next year the Kentucky Derby.

[Khandro]

jno; Some people don't look at links (the OP er particularly), and I wanted the knockers to see the list.
To the list can be added that he doesn't take any salary (or just $1) it all goes back into the US economy.

Just think what he could do if he wasn't handicapped by being a moron.

[hereIam]

I would still trust him over Kim Jong Un (or whatever) ...

// When the Republicans Impeached Clinton, you did not bleat about twarting democracy, you gleefully supported it. // chrome

funny you should say that - - because half way thro Clintons impeachment - with the Senate voting as a jury - they said "Oh lets have a little practice" and everyone voted on party lines and the House Managers said - hmm no hope of conviction, lets call it a day.

I note that the House is presently 51/49 so there is no hope of impeaching Trump successfully unless around ten Dems betray him.

Not a fan of Oscar Wilde then. :)) who "supposedly" said just that or something like it.

now just remind me: when was Oscar the president of the US ? - sometime between Garland and mcKinley ( PP shows knowledge of some rather inconspicuous presidents)

and didnt the divine Oscar have his reputation ( 'who poses as a somdomite ' ) successfully impeached ? I think he did

[Khandro]

PP ; very good! and the Donald is only echoing the master, who said;

"I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying."

Oohh don't think you can use worms like that anymote Pee Pee.
Not Pee Cee See Pee Pee. :))

[ichkeria]

In fairness to the BBC it makes the point that it is hard to know what the source for some of these allegations or opinions is
: this seems also to be the case with the Tony Blair allegation: But that surely is the problem with anything to do with Trump. What is fact and what is tittle tattle or rumour or indeed the ravings of Trump himself. We surely don’t need a book to see that the president is mentally unstable, whether actually ill or not

[gulliver1]

Trump is not suffering from mental health , the people who voted for him and support him are the mental ones.

I just heard Trump say: ‘the US will never be a laughing stock as long as I am president’ (!!)
