Michael Wolff Says He Has Tapes To Back Up The Insane Claims In His Book

Despite the White House’s denial and President Trump’s action (sending a cease and desist letter), Michael Wolff– the author of the new anti-Trump book– isn’t backing down. He stands by his book (even though he essentially admits that some of the information may be wrong in his own book. Go ahead. Read his author’s note.)

Wolff appeared on “The Today Show” Friday morning, and he’s standing firm.

“I am certainly, absolutely in every way comfortable with everything reported in this book,” he said on the show. He went on to say that absolutely everyone around Trump questions his ability to, well, be POTUS.

Echoing some of the most shocking claims made in his book, Wolff said on the Today show that Trump’s senior officials say he’s a “moron, an idiot. Actually, there’s a competition to get to the bottom line here of who this man is. Let’s remember, this man does not read, does not listen. So he’s like a pinball just shooting off the sides.”

The one thing they have in common, he said, is that they all compare him to a child: “He has a need for immediate gratification, it’s all about him.”

Wolff also couldn’t care less about the cease and desist letter.

“Where do I send the box of chocolates? Not only is he helping me sell books, but he’s proving the point of the book,” said Wolff, calling Trump’s attempt to stop the sale of the book “extraordinary.” Adding, “This has not happened from other presidents, would not even happen from a CEO of a mid-size company.”

Saying he still has sources inside the White House, Wolff claimed that when Trump sent the letter, “I know everybody was going, ‘We should not be doing this. This is not smart.’ He just insists. He just has to be satisfied in the moment.”

President Trump officially responded to the book via Twitter.

I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book! I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist. Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!

Perhaps the biggest “threat” from Wolff? He claims to have tapes which supposedly back up the insane claims in his book, but there’s no word if he’s releasing them.

“I certainly said whatever I needed to get the story.” He says he has recordings and notes — though he wouldn’t say if he planned to release any tapes — from his work on the book and in direct response to Trump, said: “I absolutely spoke to the president. Whether he realized it was an interview or not, I don’t know. But it certainly was not off the record.”

If he has tapes…I say release them. I want the truth.

“I spoke to him after the inauguration. I’ve spent about three hours with the president over the course of the campaign and in the White House, so my window into Donald Trump is pretty significant,” Wolff said adding, “My credibility is being questioned by a man who has less credibility than perhaps anyone who has ever walked on Earth at this point.”

Less than anyone who has ever walked on planet Earth? OK dude. Chill.

Here’s the interview, if you’re interested.

What do you think? Is this guy a clown, or are there TAPES? And if there are, should he release them?
