North Korea: Wolff book’s popularity ‘foretells Trump’s political demise’

North Korean state media seized upon author Michael Wolff’s new book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” on Thursday, saying its popularity predicts President Trump’s downfall. 

The country’s ruling Worker’s Party newspaper Rodong Sinmun writes that the popularity of the book among the American people “foretells Trump’s political demise,” according to The Associated Press. 

{mosads}“The anti-Trump book is sweeping all over the world so Trump is being massively humiliated worldwide,” the newspaper said, adding its sales reflect “rapidly surging anti-Trump sentiments in the international community.”

The book detailing the Trump White House has been a best-seller since it was released last week. 

Wolff reported that the book sold a million copies in four days.

The book makes a series of explosive claims, including the assertion that Trump’s staff have questioned his mental stability and fitness for office. 

Wolff also quotes Trump’s former chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, as saying Donald Trump Jr.‘s meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower in 2016 was “treasonous” and that investigators would “crack [Trump] Jr. like an egg” on national television. 

The White House denied the claims made in the book, and has attempted to block it from being published.
