In "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Michael Wolff presents a portrait of the president-elect as a figure who often operates without solid information or factual grounding. His decision-making and public statements appear to be largely uninformed, contributing to the uncertainty surrounding his leadership. This lack of clarity raises questions about his competence and credibility.

The media's response to the president-elect has been to frame his actions and decisions as fundamentally unconstitutional or abusive of power. This perception creates a narrative that casts doubt on his legitimacy and raises concerns about his governance. Wolff's portrayal highlights the tensions between the president-elect's approach and the media's critical stance toward his administration.
