Lawyers for Donald Trump moved on Thursday to try to shut down the explosive new book which has exposed the chaos behind the scenes at the White House.
Michael Wolff’s book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House is due to be released next Tuesday, but after extracts from the book were first made public by the Guardian, the Trump White House has been thrown into a frenzy.

Blowing our Trumpet from the ATS pulpit. At this time the top of the front page is full of Trumpeteer threads.
We should rename it, Above Trump Secret.
In one passage from “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” Wolff recounts how Roger Ailes recommended former House speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) to serve as Trump's chief of staff. Trump's response, according to Wolff: “Who’s that?”
Never mind that Trump had golfed with Boehner in 2013 and mentioned him several times on the 2016 campaign trail. Using the Donald Trump Factbase, I found Trump mentioning Boehner on the campaign trail at least four times: April 10, 2016; Nov. 30, 2015; Oct. 14, 2015; and Sept. 25, 2015. He also tweeted about him on Oct. 8, 2015, and Sept. 25, 2015 — that last date being when Boehner resigned as speaker during the 2016 campaign.

A stupid move on the part of Trump. Free expression is paramount. If the book contains lies, then counter with more free speech, not less.
This is from a Trump supporter.

Controversy SELLS.
All I see is a guy got fired with a product to sell to the masses.
That's capitalizing off Trumpphobia.
And Gladly the people will be fleeced with their money.
Political books are a dime a dozen.
And Where are they now ?
I think this situation puts Trump supporters in a bind. If they defend Trump's actions here, then they can't really defend what he's saying about this. If they defend what he's saying about this, then they'll have a hard time defending his actions.

Trump supporters never cease to amaze me. I wrote the following earlier, but I couldn't have expected what you just did (although I should have).

Option three is to ignore all of that, and discuss something else entirely.
Naturally.

I think his head will just explode any minute now.
He's got to be very seriously stressed over all of this.I keep saying I bet he's sorry he ever ran. I bet his whole family is.
