When you read excerpts from Michael Wolff’s ‘Fire and Fury’ like THIS one it gives the book a whole NEW feel …
The editing in this Wolff book is bad. *Really* bad. pic.twitter.com/BRNrS5ozc1

Clearly, the book was put out in such a rush that editing went to the wayside (spellcheck will not catch words if you drop the letter “L” and the word although wrong is still spelled correctly), but if they really wanted to release a gotcha on the president they should have at LEAST spent some time looking for these sorts of errors.
That tweet is not a joke, by the way. That sentence actually appears in the book.

Considering we’re hearing the book itself is basically a joke this could go either way.
It’s actually in there twice. pic.twitter.com/zXnYM5rCsw

Pubic venom.
*dead*
Pubic Venom would be a good name for a band.

We saw them open for ‘Big Bad Chubba’ in 08.
Wants a book that will take out the President…. can't even be bothered to use spell check… pic.twitter.com/PNi2b6xSFe

This book will be the end of Trump! Or it will make you laugh hysterically because of editing like this.
It was probably written in 3 days.

With crayon on construction paper.
Well, I *hope* it’s a typo, but with this White House you never know, do you ?

Fair point.
Still so embarrassing.
