Fire and Fury: A Review

Fire and Fury: A Review. By Lion of the Blogosphere.

1. Bannon was a loose cannon. More leaks came from Bannon than anyone else. Bannon hated Jared and Ivanka, referred to as “Jarvanka” throughout the book, and leaked stuff to make them look bad.

There’s more about Bannon in the book than anyone else, indicating that Bannon spoke to Michael Wolff more than anyone else.

Bannon definitely dug his own grave.

2. Kushner also leaked a lot, mostly to make Bannon look bad. …

5. Throughout the book, Trump is presented as utterly incompetent. This appears to be how everyone in the White House views him.

It looks like Jarvanka won their battle against the Bannonites … The White House is now an uneasy alliance between Jarvanka and the three generals (Kelly, McMaster, and Mattis) with Tillerson on the side of the generals. The leaking stopped after Preibus and Bannon were kicked out.

Based on this book, I predict that Stephen Miller’s days are numbered, and then the Trump administration becomes a globalist Wall Street dominated administration because only Jarvanka will be left to direct Trump.

My other reaction to this book is why would anyone with a good high-paying non-government career want to give that up to work in the White House? Actually, that message finally seems to be getting out, and Trump is having trouble attracting new talent.
