Donald Trump has told journalists that the author of a controversial book about his presidency is a “fraud” and his publication is “fiction”. Michael Wolff, in his book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House”, claims the president acts like a child and that people around him think he’s mentally unfit for office. Trump responded angrily to what Wolff had written: "I consider it a work of fiction and I think it's a disgrace that somebody is able to have something, do something like that," he told reporters during a briefing at Camp David. "The libel laws are very weak in this country. If they were strong, it would be very helpful. You wouldn't have things like that happen where you can say whatever comes to your head." He was giving the press conference while meeting with leaders of the Republican Party and also spoke about issues such as North Korea and immigration. His remarks followed earlier tweets in which he said he went from … [Read more...] about Trump dismisses Wolff book as “fraud and fiction”

Inside Donald and Melania Trump’s ‘toxic trophy’ marriage: Explosive book reveals President ‘barely knows son Barron’ and will never sleep with wife
Donald and wife Melania Trump's marriage has been burst wide open in an explosive new book, which claims the pair barely speak and never share a bed. Michael Wolff's new book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, already branded as "false and fake" by Trump over Twitter, charts the billionaire's chaotic rise to power and alleges his wife never wanted him to become President. Author Wolff delves into Trump's dizzying political victory, his allies and enemies as well as his marriage to third wife Melania. The pair, who married in 2005 at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, barely speak and go for days without even knowing where each other are, according to Wolff. In a damning indictment of the marriage, the author claims everyone around the President perceives the relationship as "perplexing" and says Trump barely knows his 12-year-old son Barron, using him only for public appearances. "Donald Trump's marriage was perplexing to almost everybody around him - … [Read more...] about Inside Donald and Melania Trump’s ‘toxic trophy’ marriage: Explosive book reveals President ‘barely knows son Barron’ and will never sleep with wife
Donald Trump hits backs at “Fire and Fury” book calling it a work of “fiction” and the author a “fraud”
Donald Trump has launched a stinging attack on the author of explosive book Fire and Fury which he told reporters was a "disgrace". The US President answered questions in a conference at Camp David on Saturday after earlier tweeting that he was a "very stable genius" responding to the book calling into question his mental capacity. Michael Wolff's immediate bestseller - "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House " - has depicted a chaotic administration and Trump as someone who isn't fit for the Oval Office. But the Republican told reporters that Wolff was a "fraud" and the book is a "complete work of fiction". "I think it's a disgrace," he said. The billionaire told reporters that he had never granted Wolff an interview for the book and blamed former adviser Steve Bannon - who he called "Sloppy Steve" for granting White House access. In the Twitter tirade, Trump was forced to deny claims about his mental state and intellect after the book claimed his staff view him as a "child" … [Read more...] about Donald Trump hits backs at “Fire and Fury” book calling it a work of “fiction” and the author a “fraud”
Argus Book Club: Review of Adrian McKinty’s crime thriller
This week the Ringland Library Reading Group have reviewed Adrian McKinty’s novel Police At The Station And They Don’t Look Friendly. Giving a maverick cop a liking for alcohol and drugs is a familiar strategy for authors, but Sean Duffy is a cultured man, and despite or maybe because of his shortcomings, makes an agreeable hero. A Catholic based in a predominantly Protestant area faces prejudice on a daily basis but he encounters many other challenges in his job. Set in 1988 Belfast, this latest in a series of Sean Duffy thrillers takes us to the harsh side of everyday life where gunfire and bombings are expectations rather than surprises. We first meet the RUC Inspector in a grim situation but although we know he’s bound to escape his captors in all the dire circumstances Adrian McKinty places him, this is an enjoyable, if rough, ride. We’re often sitting on our hero’s shoulder as he drives at nerve-wracking speed along the highways and byways of … [Read more...] about Argus Book Club: Review of Adrian McKinty’s crime thriller
