The latest book from Michael Wolff - author of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House Online Cigarettes Store USA - cites over one hundred sources, and says the Trumps have a ‘non-marriage’ that is simply rolled out for the cameras. Ryan Lizza wrote for The Washington Post that the book contains “factual errors that mar the author’s credibility”.
The President hasn’t responded to the new book, but described Wolff’s first book in a tweet as, “the Fake Book Newport Pleasure of a mentally deranged author, who knowingly writes false information”. Trump Under Fire was released earlier this month, and made the explosive claim that the First Lady not only never wanted to set foot in the White House, but is quite happy leading a ‘separate life’ from her husband, an arrangement that also seems to suit the President just fine.
“I never saw any evidence of a marriage,” said Steve Bannon, a former advisor and the director of the President’s 2016 campaign.
Mr Bannon also mentioned that from the President’s perspective, Melania rarely factored into decision making in any capacity.
He told the author that any reference to the First Lady, “drew a puzzled look from Trump,Newport 100s Box as if to say, ‘How is she relevant?’”However, Mr Bannon also admitted to having no contact with the President for over a year, leading some to question his authority on the subject of his personal life.
Now Wolff claims the First Lady’s famously delayed move to the White House – which was aimed at keeping their son in New York until the end of his school year — was in fact no permanent relocation at all.
