Ill be tweeting whatever interesting / ridiculous things catch my eye in the Wolff book. Stay tuned! 
So far, it’s a lot of scenes of Bannon being rude to Jared. Also: Trump demands personal recaps of Morning Joe.
All right, here we go: Bannon, angry at Hope Hicks over leaks after the Don Jr. meeting leaks, starts yelling at her and telling her to get a lawyer. “You don’t know how much trouble you are in, you are dumb as a stone!”
Also: Kushner / Ivanka side claims Bannon yelled “I’m going to fuck you and your little group!” at Hicks, who runs away screaming. Kushner side wanted Priebhs to refer Bannon incident to WH counsel.
Bannon says Gary Cohn was “licking my balls” in his campaign to become Fed chair. Wolff says Bannon made this remark with “quite a cackle.”
Things Trump has called @maggienyt, according to Wolff: “very mean, and not smart”and “mean and horrible.”
Bannon makes a lot of his most famous anti-Trump remarks in an extended scene of him eating Chinese food at his apartment, which he dubs “the safe house.”
True or not, the Wolff passages on Kelly won’t be received well by Trump. Wolff calls Kelly “a disapproving and censorious father figure” for Trump, whose “distaste for the president was open knowledge.”
The Bannon of Wolff’s book is basically a Chris Farley character — barreling around the White House telling people they’re screwed, making alarm noises with his mouth when Trump says something dumb.
As Bannon allies gather at a bar to commiserate over another bad Bannon interview, one GOP operative makes fun of Breitbart's Matt Boyle for smoking. Wolff: "This seemed to be a general dig at the Breitbart people for being low-class."
Breitbart crew soaks up their newfound prominence at a bar: "When a text came in, the recipient would hold up his or her phone it showed a notable reporter's name"
Incidentally: Wolff is firmly in favor of describing Kushner and Ivanka as "Jarvanka," instead of the more common "Javanka."
Trump on Bannon, according to Wolff: "Guy looks homeless. Take a shower, Steve. You've worn those pants for six days."
Trump repeatedly makes fun of Priebus for being short in the Wolff book
Pence is portrayed as practically powerless, "a mere staffer" or "the weakest vice president in decades." Says one Bannon ally: "Pence is like the husband in Ozzie and Harriet, a nonevent"
Wolff says the WH itself intervened to quash Milo Yiannopoulos's CPAC appearance after his bizarre videos on pedophilia videos surfaced.
Wolff gets really into the male performance of the Bannon-Priebus peace appearance at CPAC. Bannon pointedly refuses makeup while Priebus gets a "heavy powder foundation," Bannon "was Johnny Cash" in his black outfit.
Kellyanne Conway is portrayed as mostly sidelined and without allies. She "had publicly declared herself the face of the administration — and for Ivanka and Jared, this was a horrifying face"
Wolff rips into Don Jr. and Eric: "in an enforced infantile relationship to their father." With Jared and Ivanka designated as the smart ones, Don and Eric are stuck with "errands and admin."
On the Don Jr. Russia meeting leak, Wolff says "best guess" among WH speculators put the leak on Kushner's camp.
While Trump, Javanka and Hicks were drafting a defense of the Don Jr. meeting— a huddle now scrutinized by Mueller —Wolff claims Dina Powell, Gary Cohn and Stephen Miller were in another room watching Fargo.
Wolff: Sean Hannity fumes about Trump not calling Roger Ailes's widow, while vaping on an e-cigarette.
Wolff quotes Trump as calling the Mercers "wackos" — Wolff: "He didn't like being in the same room with Mercer or his daughter."
Hope Hicks is thrilled to tell Trump when Wolff raises the prospect of Trump nemesis Graydon Carter getting fired from Vanity Fair: "Really? Oh my God, can I tell him? That be okay? He'll want to know this."
Gonna wrap this up, book goes on sale most places at 9 AM. Couple thoughts:
There's plenty of interesting stuff, but most of the juiciest details — i.e. the Bannon slams on Trump's kids — have already been mined, which makes the Trump cease and desist order to stop the book even stranger.
The book suffers as Wolff's access gets cuts off, eventually becoming mostly about Steve Bannon and his love-hate relationship with Trump. In the end, Bannon is about to set off on his war with the GOP — something, ironically, the book has now pretty much ended.
The Scaramucci material is cut as short as his White House tenure, probably because he came in right as people appear to be getting sick of Wolff's access. Although Wolff's portrayal of the Mooch (and everyone's dislike of him) is great.
Book is good if you crave details of maneuverings between Kushner, Priebus, Bannon, and Katie Walsh, much less so on more recent stuff.
Still: I will treasure the scene where Jared tries to talk to Bannon, and Bannon ignores him to watch TV.
