A forthcoming book by an anonymous insider in the Trump administration has described the US president as volatile, incompetent and unfit to be commander-in-chief. In excerpts published by The Washington Post, the book, entitled A Warning, describes racist and misogynist behind-the-scenes statements by Donald Trump and says he “stumbles, slurs, gets confused, is easily irritated, and has trouble synthesising information”. In the book, due out on November 19, the writer claims senior administration officials considered resigning as a group last year in a “midnight self-massacre”, but ultimately decided such an act would do more harm than good. The publisher, Hachette Book Group, responded by saying it would provide no additional information beyond calling the author a “current or former senior official”.
