Michael Wolff’s book on the Trump administration, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump House, has been out for a while and it has already managed to generate a lot of controversies.
And while some are claiming that Wolff is trying to paint the current administration in a negative way purposefully, the author argues that there is no such thing, and he actually feels the opposite way.
According to Wolff, he would have loved to write a book that presented the administration positively but just had no chance to do that in light of how things were running at the moment.
Moreover, he seems convinced that he will never get a chance to do that, as he apparently believes that the current state of affairs is beyond bad.
His opinion has been echoed multiple times in various circles already, and it looks like this is only going to get worse in the new year.
It is questionable whether Wolff would have really written his book in a different light if Trump had handled things differently though.
It is a known fact that controversy sells much better than positivity, and it is questionable whether such a book would have ever become such a best seller.
And in the end, it does not look like Wolff is disappointed in the way things have worked out for him anyway.
Not that anyone can blame him, as he is just trying to find some balance in a very chaotic administration with no apparent clear end goal in sight while keeping people informed at the same time.
"It's just a book. You either like it, or you don't like it," says "Fire and Fury," author Michael Wolf during a fiery interview with @smerconish https://t.co/cx5kPffeni https://t.co/sgEa1a57Df

The journalist will probably come out of the whole thing a bit tarnished because some of his promotional interviews got out of hand and got pretty close to a form of parody.
This is something that Saturday Night Live did not miss on its latest episode. An interview with CNN anchor Michael Smerconish also went viral for the wrong reasons.
