"They're Going To Crack Don Junior Like An Egg On National TV..."

Update #2: Is everything described in Fire and Fury the absolute objective truth? We may never know, and possibly not. The part about Trump's hair, however, does ring true:

For Ivanka, it was all business — building the Trump brand, the presidential campaign, and now the White House. She treated her father with a degree of detachment, even irony, going so far as to make fun of his comb-over to others. She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp-reduction ­surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray. The color, she would point out to comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men — the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump’s orange-blond hair color. (From New York magazine, read it here.)

Late morning update: I initially posted this tweet without comment, but based on what I'm seeing on Twitter, reaction to the quoted book, titled "Fire and Fury, Inside the Trump White House" and coming out January 9, is going to be nuclear. I'm tempted to snark and say "grab the popcorn" except that the whole thing isn't funny. The corruption, the lying, the greed, the incompetence and the sleazy overall nastiness of our current president and his family members/associates is both mind-boggling and rage-inducing.
