The Book, the Bad and the Ugly

Editorial published on January 12, 2018

The first extracts from Michael Wolff’s book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, were released in the press on January 3rd. There are behind-the-scenes stories of the White House during the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency. Anecdotes about the President and his family are not lacking and there are also the comments of Steve Bannon, who attacks the son of the President, Donald Trump Jr, and accuses him of “treason” for organizing a compromising meeting with a Russian lawyer on June 9, 2016.

Within a year, it’s a descent into hell for Bannon: from chief executive of the Trump’s campaign, he gains the privileged position of chief strategist of the President… until he is removed from his position in August 2017. He rejoins the ultra-conservative Breitbart News website as executive editor. But the affront he committed marked his final fall: in a statement, Trump signed the final rupture by declaring that “he has nothing to do with [him]“. Bannon expressed his “regret” for his remarks in the book, but it was already too late and on January 10, he was fired from Breitbart News, his last bastion.
