‘Are people that dumb?’: Canadian professor’s decade-old military history, ‘Fire and Fury’, is an unexpected bestseller
There are many questions about the book, not the least of which is how much is verifiably true. But it seems to me the simplest question you should ask is: should I read it?
Here, we try to guide you to the answer.
Do you follow Trump on Twitter?
If you have been reading Trump’s tweets, you know that he is inclined to make loaded pronouncements with questionable grammar. So it will come as no surprise that, as Wolff describes it, Trump sees policy briefs as homework to be avoided, and that his White House agenda is driven more by personality than consideration of the issues – and you’ll probably be fascinated. Whether you follow Trump on Twitter out of devotion or outrage, the answer is simple: yes, read it.
