and they don't really want to go to the 1950's they want to go back to a mythical 1950s that never existed, an ideological fantasy.

It's interesting, but I already feel like I have heard so much about it that nothing in it shocks me.

I did immediately seek out the two paragraphs in question re: his claim to Bill Mahr that Trump has an ongoing affar with a staffer. While some ignored the "WH Staffer" detail and pointed to the paragraph about Niki Haley as "proof", I still think it is Hope Hicks and that paragraph certainly fit with the author's speculations.

The book was clearly largely Bannon, given how LITTLE was written about Miller and certainly nothing really negative (Miller and Bannon were closely allied).

I wonder how long before we see an "Epilogue" type article from Wolff?
