...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
's first year in office has said that "one hundred percent" of those around the US president consider him "moron, idiot."
Michael Wolff, whose book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" went on sale on Friday, said in an interview he spent three hours with Trump during the presidential campaign and in the White House.
The author contradicted Trump's assertion that he had never talked to the writer for the book and had authorized "Zero access" to the White House.
Wolff told NBC News on Friday that for the book he conducted interviews with those in close contact with Trump and his entire circle questioned his fitness for office. The book depicts a president who was ill-prepared to win the office in 2016, and Trump aides who ridiculed his abilities.
"They all say he is like a child. And what they mean by that is he has a need for immediate gratification. It's all about him," he said.
"Let me put a marker in the sand here. One hundred percent of the people around him" question Trump's fitness for office, Wolff added.

The author of the explosive new Trump book says he can't be sure if parts of it are true
[BusinessInsider] The author of the explosive new book about Donald Trump's presidency acknowledged in an author's note that he wasn't certain all of its content was true.
Michael Wolff, the author of "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," included a note at the start that casts significant doubt on the reliability of the specifics contained in the rest of its pages.

Other people mentioned in the book have also disputed claims made about them.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who the book said warned Trump that he may be under surveillance from British spies, issued a statement describing the claim as "categorically absurd" and "simply untrue."
Anna Wintour, the longtime Vogue editor, also dismissed the claim that she lobbied Trump to be his ambassador to the UK as "laughably preposterous."
Other journalists have also urged caution. Some cited Wolff's track record ‐ questions were raised about his 2008 book on Rupert Murdoch ‐ and others compared his claims with their own knowledge of the Trump White House.
