About this ebook

Michael Wolff, author of the bombshell bestseller Fire and Fury, once again takes us inside the Trump presidency to reveal a White House under siege.

Just one year into Donald Trump’s term as president, Michael Wolff told the electrifying story of a White House consumed by controversy, chaos, and intense rivalries. Fire and Fury, an instant sensation, defined the first phase of the Trump administration; now, in Siege, Wolff has written an equally essential and explosive book about a presidency that is under fire from almost every side.

At the outset of Trump’s second year as president, his situation is profoundly different. No longer tempered by experienced advisers, he is more impulsive and volatile than ever. But the wheels of justice are inexorably turning: Robert Mueller’s “witch hunt” haunts Trump every day, and other federal prosecutors are taking a deep dive into his business affairs. Many in the political establishment—even some members of his own administration—have turned on him and are dedicated to bringing him down. The Democrats see victory at the polls, and perhaps impeachment, in front of them. Trump, meanwhile, is certain he is invincible, making him all the more exposed and vulnerable. Week by week, as Trump becomes increasingly erratic, the question that lies at the heart of his tenure becomes ever more urgent: Will this most abnormal of presidencies at last reach the breaking point and implode?

Both a riveting narrative and a brilliant front-lines report, Siege provides an alarming and indelible portrait of a president like no other. Surrounded by enemies and blind to his peril, Trump is a raging, self-destructive inferno—and the most divisive leader in American history.

Ratings and reviews

Trump a racist...lol...if I recall Biden in his early days did not want his family in the Jungle....and I guess the new norm is have you small kids felt up by creeper Biden and his cheese smoking joke of a son. Biden supporters are the same that want electric cars with batteries to stop carbon fuel production...bunch of dumb(donkeys)...plastic cometh from oil...duh....and also the whole abortion thing, if you support, self abort so you mommie will finally have some peace.

Best Trump book I've read so far. Michael Wolff gives the Salesman in Chief a dimension of humanity, while acknowledging that he's a train wreck. He's a fascinating character. Unlike the cynical cowards and opportunists enabling him, Trump can't help himself. I feel sorry for the man, in a Boris Karloff - Frankenstein sort of way. If he goes to prison, I'll be sad, but I guess I'll deal with it.

I seen trump in late 90's in Manhattan close a whole restaurant just to feed the homeless at Christmas. The press said it was a horrible thing for him to help the homeless because the rich couldn't go in!!! Wolfe has been giving money to the Jim Crow KKK party for decades!!!
