The White House distanced itself from book. The spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said: “This book is nothing more than fictional stories, many of angry former employees, told to make president look bad.” She accused press of infrequently reporting Trump’s “unprecedented successes.” No one will be able to beat him in mid-term elections 2020, who would know “Democrats and ir allies in media”.

Trump is “emotionally overwrought”
According to book, John Kelly, White House chief of staff, is said to have known Trump as “idiots” and “mentally disturbed”. “We’re in Crazytown,” Kelly said during an employee meeting. “I don’t even know why we’re here at all.

He should have attested to trump “mind of a fifth or Sechstklässlers”.

Fear matches previous investigative books
Fear has already seen numerous or books that claim to provide interior views from White House and rely on interviews with closest employees of trumps. At beginning of year, for example, Michael Wolff’s bestseller Fire and Fury appeared. It was also said that Trump’s staff would sabotage him to protect country. “I think most simply want to prevent worst,” said Wolff with an interview with time. “They are re to somehow keep this guy on a tight, clear path. The employees try to control Trump even though y know y can’t control it. ” Wolff Trump also spoke of mental abilities to lead country. “When you talk to a person who repeats over and over again, I think this is alarming,” he said. Fire and Fury is criticised for numerous inaccuracies.
In April, an autobiography of dismissed FBI Chief James Comey appeared, larger than office. He describes Donald Trump as a lying slime ball, which is like a mafia boss, without morality and without any attachment to truth and values of our democracy. Last appeared in August unhunged by trumps ex-employee Omarosa Manigault-Newman. In it, it designates president as racists and women haters. She also released sound recordings of her dismissal, showing how Trump’s staff work around president.
