The author of the new Trump book says he can't be sure if parts of it are true

Pretty much what he says in the business insider article I just posted

Wolff has an article at the Hollywood Reporter of material extracted from the book. Mostly gossipy and unsubstantiated, but a lot of it rings true.

The MM is the left's propaganda machine. They're in business to manufacture all the news that's unfit to print.

Yeah.
If there wasn't anything in it you would just laugh it off call if wonderful fiction and go about your day. Not publicly shame people mentioned on Twitter, deny granting access when you did, and legally try to halt publication.
It's docu-drama non-fiction. I would have just ignored it and encouraged the president to do the same.

There is no right reaction! If Trump said nothing, the media would claim that Trump must be in agreement with author and has nothing to say in his own defense. But since Trump has openly criticized and essentially categorized the book as tabloid trash, the media interprets that as Trump being defensive.
The book has put the president in the unenviable position of answering the question: How often do you beat your wife?

As I stated before the books release... It's Suspect. But the Snowflakes will eat it up... other will get a tingle up their leg and Mad-Cows jumping over the moon.

There was a right reaction:
Wolff: "Can I get access inside the White House and with staff?"
"No."

Honest question.
I see a few people that post in here that strictly post on the PA Off Topic section and strictly about politics.
Did you really come to PA (a horse racing website) to discuss politics?

Nope. Just don't have the time for horses anymore. Came here originally after the DRF board shut down many moons ago.

If Trump totally "ignored" this trash, as you suggested, the MM would interpret that as tacit admission of guilt. Trump is in the unenviable position of being damned if he doesn't and damned if he does.
