Donald Trump in meltdown over revelations in Michael Wolff's new tell-all book 'All Or Nothing'

After the 2018 bestseller “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House”, the new exposé by American journalist and Trump tell-all author Michael Wolff , “All Or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America”, is published today.  

Announcing "All or Nothing", publisher Crown said: “Wolff’s thesis in his 18 months of covering the campaign was that the establishment would destroy Trump, or Trump would destroy the establishment. All or Nothing is Wolff’s panoramic and intimate picture of that battle… from indictments, to trials, to assassination attempts, to the humiliation and defenestration of a sitting president, to Trump’s staggering victory.” 

The book offers a look behind the scenes of Trump’s 2024 presidential election campaign and some of the published excerpts in Vanity Fair and The Daily Beast are already creating quite the stir in Donald Trump’s team. 

Here are some of the already-known bombshell revelations:  

“On the verge of cracking” 

After the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, Trump “seemed possibly on the verge of cracking,” Wolff shares. Trump “frequently gave up trying to complete sentences; that he turned left when he should have known it was right; that he elided obvious names, repeated himself beyond the one or two allowances, and erupted in rages that, even for him, seemed irrational.”  

No endorsement on antisemitism  

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, both Jewish, apparently refused to sign a statement saying that Trump was not antisemitic. “As he kept seeming to be incapable of offering absolute support for Israel in the wake of October 7,” Wolff writes, “Trump, not for the first time, turned to Jared for Jewish cover, explicitly asking him and Ivanka for a public endorsement.” Wolff goes on to claim that Kushner “kept dodging” a formal endorsement of his father-in-law, apparently saying: “No, Ivanka and I aren’t going to do that. We’re not going to go and put our names on something and get in the middle of things. That’s just not what we’re going to do this time.” 

A woman vice president  

Wolff writes that Trump was originally seeking a woman as his Veep and two Fox News hosts were in the running: Maria Bartiromo and Harris Faulkner. However, Elon Musk told Trump that he wouldn’t back him unless JD Vance was on the ticket. Speaking of Musk...  

“What the fuck is wrong” with Elon Musk?  

Trump was reportedly “bewildered” by Elon Musk’s bizarre behaviour at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which featured Musk leaping around the stage like an excitable toddler. “What the fuck is wrong with this guy? And why doesn’t his shirt fit?” said Trump - according to Wolff. Musk is also revealed to be unimpressed by meeting Vance: “I've really no interest in speaking to a vice president,” Wolff claims Musk said. 

Where’s Melania?  

Wolff reveals that no one knows where Melania Trump was during the campaign.  “Nobody can tell you where Melania even actually lives. It may be, on its own peculiar terms, the most successful marriage in America. Or, it may be ready to blow up at any moment.” The latter option seems to be more accurate, as the book goes on to reveal that the first lady “fucking hates” her husband - according to to a “Mar-a-Lago patio confidant.” 

“Poison” celebrations  

Wolff reveals that Trump celebrates with “poison”. Apparently, that comes in the form of a basket full of chocolate and sweets, including Hershey’s Miniatures and Tootsie Rolls. He takes “two handfuls” and then asks for them to be removed.  

In response to “All Or Nothing”, Trump staffers like White House Communications Director Steven Cheung blasted Wolff as a “lying sack of shit” who “routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.” 

GOP political strategist Chris LaCivita echoed those sentiments. He took to X to call the book a “work of fiction” that is “total garbage”.  

“The scenes are imaginary, the conversations are fake, the dailogue is made up, and once again, just like his other books falsely attacking President Trump, nobody believes any of it,” added LaCivita.  

He also stated that Wolff’s previous works have been “riddled with inaccuracies and copy-editing mistakes, and this is no different.”

It’s true that Wolff has been called up in the past to explain some stylistic choices and to confirm certain sources. But then again, it seems all too fitting for a president who lives in a world of “alternative facts.” 

As for Trump, he went in meltdown mode on Truth Social to dismiss some of the revelations.  

Trump wrote: “He called me many times trying to set up a meeting, but I never called him back because I didn’t want to give him the credibility of an interview.” He added: “Others in the Administration were also called, they reported his calls, and likewise, did not talk to him. I assume, however, he was able to speak to a small number of people, but not meaningfully.”

It’s that “small number” that doesn't help the Trump team’s denials...

Trump continued: “Wolff says he has sources, but he doesn’t have them, it’s a LIE, as is the case with many so-called ‘journalists.’ If he has sources, let them be revealed. Watch, it will never happen.” 

“He is FAKE NEWS, a total LOSER, and no one should waste their time or money in buying this boring and obviously fictitious book!” 

A case of the President doth protest too much?
