POTUS vs. Michael Wolff - Trump Era

Telegraph: Reports " Michael Wolff claims he spent three hours talking to Donald Trump for explosive new book "

Lets Get Real:

If one was a cynic one would believe that Trump was behind this book, it takes the story off Russia for the news cycle, and we are talking about a book that claims that Trump is unfit to the President and his marriage.   From parts of the book that have been published it sounds like a hatched job on the President and his family.  One can see a few more of the news cycle being taken up with this story, one does not become and stay a billionaire by being senile.   The press at the end of the 1980s treated Reagan as if had dementia, it said more about them than him.  If Mr Wolff did have three hours of talks with POTUS he should release the tapes or his notes, then we could decide on the claim.   The left media is having a field day with this book. 

The US vs. Pakistan - Trump Era

The Guardian: Reports " Pakistan accuses US of treating it like 'whipping boy' as terror row grows..Foreign minister says two countries have no alliance after Washington suspends almost $1bn in security assistance "

Lets Get Real:

The problem for any US Administration is the fact that Pakistan plays both sides, it gets money from the US to fight terror but also funds terror when it is in their political interest, they see Afghanistan as their backyard and also feel that they need to counter the presence of India in the region.   Both India and Pakistan are nuclear powers, the US in time will give money to Pakistan, it can not afford to allow a terror group to gain power in Pakistan, a few years back the Taliban of Pakistan was a few miles of the Capital.   Also there have non nuclear wars between Pakistan and India, thus the US has to have a presence, it is to much on tinder box to leave alone.   The Pakistan Government has to be seen to fight terrorists more and help the US fight terrorists in Afghanistan. 

Mr and Mrs Trump? - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Donald and Melania lived apart in Trump Tower and would go DAYS without crossing paths while 'absentee' Trump barely knows Barron and only mentions wife to boast about her looks, book says "

Lets Get Real:

It can be argued that Michael Wolff's new book 'Fire and Fury' is a hatched job on President Trump, it makes the President look weak, even unhinged, while his Marriage is made to look like a trophy Marriage.   The President and the First Lady must be seen together over the next few days, also Trump should take a risk and get a tough interview, not from CNN they are have well and truly lost the plot.  It would be better if it was a live interview, then the network can not edit to show any bias.  One only hopes the book is false hatched job, otherwise the US and the West is in deep trouble.

That BOOK and President TRUMP - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports the following on the new book on the Trump First year in the White House; Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House; "   even if only half of what the book contains is true, it paints a damning portrait of a paranoid president and a chaotic White House, BBC North America editor Jon Sopel says. "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Team have not learned from the book episode's of the Reagan Administration, the Gipper faced a few negative books in his last years in Office, he just laughed them off, he never tried to stop them, he just carried on being THE President.   The Clinton Administration had a tough year, and the President just carried on, keeping to his campaign pledge to work for the American people.  President Trump has to show that the negative stories are not getting to him, he should use the Reagan example of just laughing them off, he must show that he is working for the American people.   Let us recall Reagan left office with a 63% job approval rating and his VP become President, while Clinton left with a 66% approval rating.
