Trump says author of book about him is 'mentally ill'
US President Donald Trump has criticised the author of a scandalous book about him, calling Michael Wolff 'mentally ill' and accusing him of spreading false information.

| Mr. Trump has caused a lot of controversy since being elected President of the United States. |
"People are providing too much fake news. They don't even bother to convey accurate information or correct when wrong. They popularize a fabricated book by a mentally ill writer who intentionally wrote false information. The leading media is crazy because we won the election," - the US president wrote on his personal Twitter page.
"Fire and Fury: Trump in the White House" was released on January 9 and is a bestseller in the US.
The book says that Mr Trump did not expect to become US president, his wife Melania was shocked by the prospect of becoming first lady, and some of Trump's advisers were very worried about his mental health.
The White House has categorically denied the content of Wolff’s book. Trump’s personal lawyer has sent a letter to the author and publisher asking for a halt to its publication.
