Trump calls author deranged

DONALD Trump yesterday dismissed the author of a controversial new expose on the White House as ‘mentally deranged’.

The US President questioned the sanity of journalist Michael Wolff and dismissed the account of Washington politics as a ‘Fake Book’.

The book – Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House – has sparked controversy since it was published earlier this month. Mr Trump tweeted: ‘So much Fake News is being reported. They don’t even try to get it right, or correct it when they are wrong.

‘They promote the Fake Book of a mentally deranged author, who knowingly writes false information.’

The President added a parting shot at the media, finishing: ‘The Mainstream Media is crazed that WE won the election!’
