"Siege: T-rump Under Fire" hits stores this Tuesday!

Sure to be one of the best-selling books of 2019 (Wolff's 'Fire and Fury' went on to sell over 4 million copies, making it the #1 non-fiction book for 2018), "Siege: T-rump Under Fire" is available this Tuesday, June 4.

Here's a review from one of the chapters:

“I can’t get the asshole off the phone,” Rupert Murdoch once said of Trump, “holding out the phone as the president’s voice rambled into the air,” according to Wolff. The same section of the book details tensions between Rupert and James Murdoch, resulting from the latter’s disgust over the Fox News prime-time lineup, namely Sean Hannity. “Father and son had screaming fights over Hannity and Trump,” Wolff writes in Siege, a copy of which I got my hands on a few days ago. “The Murdoch family had become collaborators, declared the younger Murdoch. The world would remember. The future of their company was at stake.” Wolff also writes, of Hannity, that the 9 P.M. anchor’s “cheerleading had begun to wear thin, and Trump started to turn on him. . . . For all of Hannity’s flattery, for all of his zealous commitment to the president, Trump, in almost equal proportion, had become disdainful of him. This was partly standard practice. Sooner or later, Trump felt contempt for anyone who showed him too much devotion.” (A spokesman for Rupert Murdoch didn’t immediately have a comment Wednesday morning. Through a spokeswoman, James Murdoch declined to comment. Hannity, through a spokeswoman, reiterated a previous statement about his interactions with Trump: “Nobody has ever gotten my relationship with Donald Trump right, ever.”)

Sooner or later, Trump felt contempt for anyone who showed him too much devotion.”

That's because he's a MALIGNANT NARCISSIT[/b] who USES people and then DISCARDS them after he's become TIRED of them and is BORED with them.

That's the reason why he has such a long list of people who worked for him that have EITHER QUIT or were FIRED by him.

Because a NARCISSIST also needs what's called a STEADY STREAM of NARCISSISTIC SUPPLY, and eventually most people will also catch on to the way they've been USED and ABUSED by the NARCISSIST.

If you've seen the MICHAEL JACKSON DOCUMENTARY where 2 of the YOUNG BOYS he MOLESTED as children explain how their PARENTS and the rest of the family were SEDUCED into letting Jackson have his way, then you'll also be better able to understand what it is THE SCAM MAN does.

Because as soon as JACKSON got BORED with his NEWEST SUPPLY of NARCISSISTIC SUPPLY he would also DUMP THEM and move on to another SOURCE of ENTERTAINMENT for him (meaning still another YOUNG BOY that he would SEXUALLY SEDUCE into doing what he wanted).

SAME SITUATION with the SCAM MAN who will also SEDUCE people into thinking they'll be RICH like HIM if they attend his FAKE UNIVERSITY.

And he also SEDUCED others into making contributions to his FAKE CHARITY.

MOST SCAM MEN who take advantage of other people fit into the NARCISSISTIC CATEGORY and they also feel NO SHAME or REMORSE whatsoever for doing what they do to others.

In the case of his FOLLOWERS, it's [b]the SCAM of SELLING them those GOOFY RED HATS with the FAKE CLAIM that he'll MAKE THINGS GREAT, when in REALITY what he's doing is DESTORYING what makes us that way .

And what they need to do is WAKE UP and recognize the reason why they should FEEL CONTEMPT for HIM due to the way he's also USING THEM as a source of his NARCISSISTIC SUPPLY.

Best book of 2017 I have heard, great read from stern to mast.

[–] joi2049 (5636) 6 years ago

Here's the link to another book a PROFESSIONAL SHRINK has written about him where he describes the condition that he says THE SCAM MAN has:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/5-types-people-who-can-ruin-your-life/201903/malignant-narcissism-does-the-president-really

The name of his book is:

Rocket Man: Nuclear Madness and the Mind of Donald Trump (2018):

where he also explains how

THE SCAM MAN suffers from malignant narcissism.

Unfortunately Trump supporters don't read books.

[–] FishGottoSwim (473) 6 years ago

Donald can't NOT respond to this book. His advisors & his daughter-wife will tell him to ignore it, but Donald doesn't have the restraint or maturity to remain silent about it.

I predict he'll mention in when he announces his 2020 run in Orlando on Wednesday. Or before.

Any takers on that bet?

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

LOL! He's going to call Wolff 'nasty'.

What's really surprising is that Wolff got about 90% of 'returning customers' (those sources he had free access to last year, thanks to T-rump) who couldn't wait to tell him about year tow in the White House. Can't wait for FOX to spin this one.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Wolff has been doing the talk shows tonight. Damn this book looks great. Can’t wait to read it.

[–] dteam6 (5073) 6 years ago

Unless they show a Duck Dynasty-looking podunk guy on the cover with a beard down to his belly button, packing an M16 on one shoulder and a deer on the other. They might read that...or just look at the pictures.

[–] dteam6 (5073) 6 years ago

"Donald Trump insults everyone in his orbit, repeatedly, viciously, and—always privately—"

...None of this is surprising. The Trumpers won't even feel compelled to deny this either--they'll just say it's "an incredible act of strength". They LIKE it when he's like this. This is what gets their motors running. They find something endearing in Donald's bully tactics and they admit it with pride.

“I can’t get the asshole off the phone,” Rupert Murdoch once said of Trump, “holding out the phone as the president’s voice rambled into the air,”

ALSO not surprising in the least.

***

"Sooner or later, Trump felt contempt for anyone who showed him too much devotion.”

Typical of all narcissists.

***

"In a chapter about Jamal Khashoggi, for instance, Wolff reports that Jared Kushner, in an off-the-record conversation with a reporter, remarked of the murdered Saudi Arabian dissident and newspaper columnist, “This guy was the link between certain factions in the royal family and Osama. We know that. A journalist? Come on. This was a terrorist masquerading as a journalist.”

And this perfectly sums up precisely how the Trump clan regards Arabs/Muslims/all in between.

***

"As one of those people—described by Wolff as a “staff member who has spent almost countless hours with the president”—put it: “I have never met anyone crazier than Donald Trump.”

Makes sense--I have never seen a president more outwardly crazy than Donald Trump.

Somewhere, Dubya Bush is smiling.

[–] FishGottoSwim (473) 6 years ago

The passage about Donald feeling contempt for anyone who showed him too much devotion should send terror through the base of the GOP.

Those T-rump rallies? The people he riles up with his BS rhetoric? The people supporting him still?

T-rump only likes them because they're WITH him.

THAT'S NOT HOW A PRESIDENT SHOULD WORK.

I saw a piece of a video of Mayor Pete's latest town hall. A woman faced him, smiling, said "you're impressive, but so are some of the women running, why should we vote for YOU? And Pete's response was honest, acknowledging, kind to his opponents - and then he told the woman "You might not be FOR me, but if elected, I will be FOR YOU."

Now this just happened to be Mayor Pete this time, I've heard dozens of other Dem candidates express the same thing.

Donald just doesn't get IT. Off the cuff, never. MAYBE he'd say the words, stilt-ily reading words off a teleprompter, he might utter them, but he'd never, ever mean them.

He'll turn on his Vice, he'll turn on his Sec of State, the AG, his staff, his children if they dare say something off script.

And come ON! Do the right wing trolls on this board not have EYES? Donald weighs 238 pounds? Donald had his doctor state IN PUBLIC - that he weighed 238 pounds. How long would the Doc have lasted if he dared speak the truth to the Fat Assed Emperor - with or without Clothes?

I saw that - what a great response from such a classy, well-educated man.

If that question was posed to T-rump, he would have asked security to throw her out. Then he would've told the audience he doesn't answer to ugly people, and made fun of her looks somehow. Because that's what he does.

[–] Keelai (36166) 6 years ago

I just reserved my copy. Thanks for the reminder.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Read the first two chapters -very good!

[–] joi2049 (5636) 6 years ago

The GUY who wrote it was on THE LAST WORD tonight and was telling all kinds of JUICY DETAILS about how the SCAM MAN treated his former wives.

You can hear what he says here in this link to the PODCAST of the show:

And there's also a video section of the show available as well.

Get the book - you will love it!

[–] joi2049 (5636) 6 years ago

After having to ENDURE 3 YEARS of hearing about what he does ON THE NEWS each day, don't think I could STAND reading still more about him.

Would also LOVE to know more about what the REPORT says about him, but not enough to READ ALL of it.

[–] tom8 (3119) 6 years ago

A book of lies.... just like the Quran, but billions still read it and believe it .

And that is a fact, just like Trump winning again in 2020 is a fact.

[–] ultravioletx (10237) 6 years ago

Well at least you accept that at least one religious doctrine is a book of lies. Maybe some day you will realize they all are.

[–] tom8 (3119) 6 years ago

they might all be lies.... but there is only one book of lies that hurts women, animals, and say it's okay to harass, lie to, and kill other (non) believers

No one ever gets Hannity’s relationship with trump yet Han declines to enlighten us. That tells me all I need to know.
