that book seems designed to set fire to the whole thing
95% made up I reckon.

When you barefacedly admit to and then deny things which are widely known black-and-white facts...
When you coin a term like "FAKE NEWS!" and apply it liberally to stories about yourself which are supported by hard recorded evidence...
When your entire political career is so farcical that Poe's law applies to it at all times, how can anyone make anything other than a 50/50 guess as to what is or isn't true about you?
So long as a story is humanly possible, I could happily believe it about Donald Trump.

Its his own fucking fault though.
You can't cry wolf so many times in so many ways to so many people, and not suffer from it.

there are people who wont believe any of it though
When you start claiming you've heard both sides of a phone call and seen one of the interlocutors shrugging people start to question that. It doesn't ring true. And if people start to question parts of it they start to question the rest of it, even the kernel of truth it might or might not be based upon

what about if it was on speaker? Or the person at the other end was really loud.
I listened to both sides of an entire fucking conversation on the train the other day between some woman and her mother about their sister/daughter, who apparently is a thoughtless bitch who doesn't care about anyone but herself

the 'he's a fucking idiot' quote and the shrug happened after the phone call ended
he'd have to be in Murdoch's office to witness all that unless it's been reported to him by Murdoch or someone else who was there who heard the convo on speaker. It's not something he would have picked up inside the White House

you'd be suprised how much people bitch about their bosses and are indiscreet
I mean, I don't know the veracity of this author, the book could be anything from massively lies, to based on office gossip, to painstaking researched and everything crossreference with other source. That Trump acts highly irrationally as president in his daily routines is pretty common knowledge to most who pay attention to US politics, it's not really that big secret, but recent behaviour does suggest an increase in this and its interesting to speculate why. Senility or stress?

There are people coming out corroborating bits of it.

Good spot, hopefully some journo starts to compile these for posterity.
With the Murdoch one it has to be true. If Murdoch didn't want that quote out there it wouldn't be out there. If you can stomach it Piers Moron's shitty book The Insider gives an insight into how the Murdoch operates.
