I have to be honest and say that if it was not for the audiobook reader, I would never have finished this book. I would listen to this narrator read a grocery list, he could make it entertaining. This is the story of the first 200+ days of President Trump’s first (and hopefully only) term. The things in this book are so incredulous, that it feels like you are listening to fiction. There is no way this could possibly be true. But I think most of it is.

For me this book was a hard listen. It didn't seem to have a flow. It wasn’t chronological, or by subject. But it was arranged by people, or groups of people. So first you would hear about Bannon, then about Ivanka, then about Jarvanka (Ivanka and her husband Jared together). For me it was really hard to keep up. It felt like certain things came up over and over and over again.

As for the controversy, here is my honest opinion. There have been about 20 other books already written about the Trump Presidency and campaign. Very few of them flattering. But this is the only book, that Trump and his staff and supporters are making a fuss over. Why not make a fuss over the other books? Is it because they are by no name authors? Or because you can honestly say they haven't been here, they haven't seen things? Well this author was embedded in the white house. I think team Trump protests to much, which must mean that most of this book is a true account. Afterall, Trump screams “Fake News” the loudest when the news is correct and not in favor of him.
