The 45th United States president is out of office and Michael Wolff has brought his Trump trilogy to a close. First, there was Fire and Fury, then there was Siege, now there is Landslide. The third is the best of the three, and that is saying plenty.

Three years ago, Trump derided Fire and Fury as fake news and threatened Wolff with a lawsuit. Now, Trump talks to Wolff on the record about what was and might yet be, while the author takes a long and nuanced view of the post-election debacle. Wolff describes Trump’s wrath-filled final days in power.
