Trump Obviously Did Not Read This Book

President Trump urged his Twitter followers to buy former aide Madeleine Westerhout’s new book, Off the Record:

“When I look at all of the Fake Books and garbage written about me, it’s really nice to see a very smart and already wise young woman write an honest depiction of what went on at the White House during some extremely interesting and important times. So many good stories by someone who, unlike most other so called writers, was actually there, and a part of the action — of which there was plenty. Go buy this book, a job well done!”

However, Ryan Lizza points out that Westerhout writes that she couldn’t bring herself to vote for Trump, “a man whose values didn’t seem to align with my own,” but never said so because she “didn’t want to risk upsetting” him or his inner circle who “see everything as black and white, which… is misguided and can be dangerous.”
