Author Michael Wolff says he interviewed 150 people in President Donald Trump’s orbit for “Siege: Trump Under Fire,” his sequel to “Fire and Fury,” a best-selling book that detailed several embarrassing scenes at the White House.

Per Axios, the new tome spans from the beginning of Trump’s second year in office to the release of the Mueller report. It is slated to be released on June 4.

His first installment sold more than 4 million copies, according to his publisher.

  1. Volume 3: Radioactive Rubble: Trump Victorious to the End is due out in late 2020.

  2. What’s interesting about this administration is that no book, no matter how sensational or salacious, could ever capture the true lunacy of what’s really going on in the White House now. That Omarosa Manigault and Bob Woodward should both write books that largely agree in their description of our President shows just how insane this all really is. You can’t make this stuff up and, if you tried, your imagination would probably fall short in describing how messed up our President really is.

    The saddest part of all this is that, in a couple of decades, no one will believe that any of this really happened.

  3. Lots of written confirmation will be available.

  4. The only book that could matter at this point would be one written by, or at least quoting extensively and on the record, several respected senior WH officials such as Mattis, McMaster, Kelly, Tillerson, etc. They would then need to tour in support of the book, taking interviews and audience questions about their experiences, to keep the storylines on TV for an extended period. That could possibly pierce the bubble of a small but critical number of voters who might finally come to understand the danger of leaving such an incompetent, unhinged toddler in office.

    Another anonymously sourced expose will accomplish nothing of value for the country.
