Donald Trump
'Consider this our blanket response to whatever he writes.'

Senior staff of Donald Trump’s campaign, many of whom are moving on to the new administration, are united in condemnation of the latest Michael Wolff book about the President-elect and his political operation.

Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Chris LaCivita, incoming deputy chief of staff for legislative, political, and public affairs James Blair, incoming deputy chief of staff for communications and personnel Taylor Budowich, deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale, communications director Steven Cheung, pollster Tony Fabrizio, speechwriter Vince Haley, senior advisers Danielle Alvarez, Brian Hughes and Jason Miller, spokesperson Tim Murtaugh, data consultant Tim SalerDonald Trump Jr. spox Andrew Surabian and pollster Travis Tunis say that “number of us have received inquiries from the disgraced author Michael Wolff, whose previous work can only be described as fiction.”

“He is a known peddler of fake news who routinely concocts situations, conversations, and conclusions that never happened,” claim the signatories. They say they will make no other comment on whatever Wolff publishes.

“As a group, we have decided not to respond to his bad-faith inquiries, and we encourage others to completely disregard whatever nonsense he eventually publishes. Consider this our blanket response to whatever he writes,” they say.

Wolff made news by claiming a connection between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein days before the presidential election, in a move seemingly calculated to affect the outcome. He has claimed that U.S. media wouldn’t touch his evidence.

In a statement picked up by the Guardian, incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the claims in the “Fire and Fury” tapes, calling them “outlandish false smears” and “blatant election interference. “

      “Please continue! I find you highly entertaining!” Coming from the basement dweller who rides the short bus to trump university every day, that’s quite the compliment. Thanks.

    If they’re all denying it, it must be true.

      That was what I was thinking. If they all vehemently deny what is in the book, it must be on the mark.

        Besides, if anyone is capable of detecting false narratives, it’s the Trumpettes.

          CBS is reporting that Trump’s denial of Project 2025 was a smokescreen to get him past the election. It’s on the way: intellectual lockdown.

            Also on the way, per Elon and Vivek: Austerity for most Americans — just two years! — and vast riches and power for the inner circles forever.

            When austerity bites, Libby will not be shopping at Fresh Market but the corner market, or bodega — since he/she/they may have to downsize their rent, too.

    Just think this dilemma all started with sun worship..
    The world became flat.
    Only if threatened.
    Rings on Saturn
    Satans greatest moves.
    Only the chosen can get this one.
    What else. Domestic abuse.
