Выходящая сегодня в продажу книга Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House произвела фурор и моментально пробилась в бестселлеры. Главы из книги публикуют New York Magazine, Hollywood Reporter и британское издание GQ.

Уникальный доступ в Белый дом в течении первого года администрации Трампа автор получил благодаря тому, что Трампу понравилось интервью, которое тот взял для Hollywood Reporter в июне 2016. Не будучи читателем, Трамп оценил картинку на обложке, но не распознал издевательского характера интервью.

Before Trump trundles off to bed — actually, before that, never too tired, he plans to watch himself on Kimmel — I ask that de rigeur presidential question, which does not seem yet to have been asked of him. "What books are you reading?"
He knows he's caught (it's a question that all politicians are prepped on, but who among his not-bookish coterie would have prepped him even with the standard GOP politician answer: the Bible?). But he goes for it.
"I'm reading the Ed Klein book on Hillary Clinton" — a particular hatchet job, which at the very least has certainly been digested for him. "And I'm reading the book on Richard Nixon that was, well, I'll get you the exact information on it. I'm reading a book that I've read before, it's one of my favorite books, All Quiet on the Western Front, which is one of the greatest books of all time." And one I suspect he's suddenly remembering from high school. But what the hell.
