        Everyone ready ?   Here goes !

        邁克爾·沃爾夫的爆料震盪世界

Michael Wolff's explosive book from inside the workings of the 

Trump White House has finally become public, sending shock-

waves around the world.

The book – which has already been criticised by both Trump 

himself as well as critics – contains a range of huge claims about 

the president and those who surround him.

What can be said, that hasn't already been said about the President?

Nothing in this book will surprise anyone who has been following the 

trials and tribulations of the 45th President of the United States, Donald 

J. Trump. His supporters will cry foul, and say some of it isn't true -- 

and some of it might not be -- but if even 10% of what is in this book is 

true, holy crap!

Reading this book is like being forced to eat an entire 5 gallon carton of 

ice cream in one sitting. It is yummy and you don't want to stop. And 

then you do want to stop but you can't, because the book has you roped 

in. You should feel good, but in reality you feel awful, because of what 

you just did to yourself.

So tread lightly, dear reader. You won't want to put the book down, but 

you won't be better off for reading it, either. If you don't like it, do 

something productive -- stop eating the ice cream and get off the couch. 

Make America AMERICA again!

I wasn't going to buy this book because I knew I'd see many of the 

salacious bits posted online. But when Trump tried to stop its publication, 

I decided that helping to push it into a massive best seller would be a 

good slap in the face to everything Trumpian. Besides, I was curious...

So far, it's a fascinating (if unsurprising) look inside a White House in 

which a fatuous vengeful man is surrounded by opportunists, crooks, 

and amateurs. It's as compulsively readable as Hunter S. Thompson's 

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72.

To add insult to injury, I bought the book through Amazon Smile 

which I have set to donate to Seattle's Planned Parenthood of the 

Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands

This book doesn't wander far from what my expectations of 

this administration is up to. It's utterly gross, and yet, like the 

proverbial train wreck, you CANNOT look away. I read the 

entire thing this morning, and I'm going to have to go back and 

read it again. To be sure that I actually read all the )#&%# I 

thought I did, and did such #(%&*# actually make it into a 

work about how the administration is going about its daily 

business.

This is a constitutional crisis. I have read, already, all the attacks 

on the author. But everything he says shores up my POV about 

the administration - they were not prepared, they are a bumbling 

roadside attraction doing anything they can to keep the 

audience's attention. When whatever the current shill is turns 

out not to be what they want you to see, they bumble and fall 

over one another, inflaming hatred of some "other" - from the 

top down - to shift your attention.

I have been watching, enjoying, and debating politics since I was 

ten. I love to see what current administrations are doing, and 

even if I voted for them, I'll critique. No one's perfect. But this - 

good grief. I have been ashamed, from time to time, at some of 

the actions of past presidents. But I am constantly, 150%, 24/7 

ashamed of this administration. There is nothing they do that 

doesn't hurt, lash out, or inflict damage on some part of the 

American people. Outside of that group the pres wants to be 

part of, the billionaires, everyone else is merely fodder.

And lord help you if you are anyone other than white and male.

Because you're nothing.

All this book has done is reinforce what I thought I was seeing. 

While that makes me sad, angry, and worried - it also reinforces 

that we must be active, and not complacent - we must, as a 

nation, go vote for people who will support this nation, and the 

ideals it has survived on. We have to bring back people who are 

not the sellout pieces of trash that is our current legislative bodies.

Most of all, this book is a warning. Our nation is under siege. 

If you don't see it - it's because you don't want to, or feel that 

the siege will benefit you in some fashion. It won't. If it does, 

it's temporary, and you will pay the piper, and it will hurt. This 

book should show you that. The pres has loyalty and concern 

for one person - himself. Anyone else is disposable. That 

includes the nation he supposedly represents.

I suggest you read it. And put down the partisanship, and read 

it with eyes of "Is this who I want to represent me?" Even if 

only half of this is true, we are in a world of hurt. WE deserve 

better. The pres and all his sycophantic horde deserve to be 

bounced out on their backsides. Which begins with the 2018 

elections.

Fire and Fury :  Inside the Trump White House

   “那是我很小很小的時候了，有一天，爸爸鏗鏘有力地給我

念了一句名言：“知識就是力量，法國就是醃肉。”

（ Knowledge is power，France is bacon.）

    之後的十多年中，這句話一直困擾着我，產生了無數的謎

團 。這句話的後半部分到底是什麼意思？為什麼能夠和前半部

分聯繫到一起？知識與力量、法國與醃肉之間，難道冥冥之中

有着某種難以言喻的聯繫嗎！？

    我，無法理解。

    更讓我恐懼的是，每當我向大人們提起“知識就是力量，

法國就是醃肉。” 的時候，他們都毫無驚訝的神色，而只是

默默的點頭贊同，甚至有幾分欣喜的目光含在眼中。

    或者當有人說到“知識就是力量。”的時候，我總會緊接

着強調“法國就是醃肉！” 可從來沒有人以怪異的神色盯着我

或想要糾正什麼怪異的事情，有的只是微微一笑，點頭贊同。

    某一天，深陷困惑的我終於鼓起了勇氣 ，找到一位老師請

教：“‘知識就是力量，法國就是醃肉。’這句話到底是什麼

意思？”可沒想到換來的卻只是整整十分鐘關於“知識就是力

量”的解釋，完全沒有觸及到“法國就是醃肉”。當老師講解

完畢，我怯生生地試探道：“法國就是醃肉？”老師輕描淡寫

地答道：“沒錯。”年僅12歲的我根本沒有勇氣和信心再繼續

追問下去了。

    我，絕望了。

    從那一刻起，我再也沒有去追問過這句話的真意，我堅信

自己永遠不可能弄明白這句話，它就是一個解不開的謎團，我

能做的只是當這句話被提及的時候假裝和所有人一樣明白它的

意思。我徹底放棄了追尋。

    直到多年以後的某一天，我不經意在書本上看到了這句話：
