fire and fury inside the trump white house publisher
Fire and Fury The book was originally scheduled to go on sale on January 9, 2018, but the publisher, Henry Holt and Company, moved up the release date to January 5 due to "unprecedented demand."[19][20][8] An excerpt of the book was released by New York magazine on January 3, 2018.[21] The same day, other media outlets reported on further content of the book; for example, The Guardian reported "explosive" highlights, stating they were based on the full book.[9] That day, preorders of the book made it the number 1 bestseller in the country.[22] Fire and Fury debuted at number one on The New York Times Best Seller list,[23] and within a week had become the fastest selling book in the publisher's history, with over 700,000 orders shipped and 1.4 million orders placed.[24]
Trump Tower At around 5:30 p.m. (EDT) on April 7, 2018, a 4-alarm fire broke out in a condominium in the tower's 50th floor, killing a resident and injuring six firefighters; the apartment was almost entirely engulfed in flames by the time the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) arrived.[126] In a Twitter post, Trump attributed the fire's limited damage to the building's design.[127][128] The sole fatality was 67-year-old Todd Brassner, an art dealer known for his association with Andy Warhol, who had endured debilitating medical problems for several years.[129][130] Brassner's apartment, as well as the rest of the residential units in Trump Tower, did not contain sprinklers because the structure had been built before 1999, when the city passed a law requiring sprinklers in residential units;[130] Trump had lobbied against the proposal.[131] The FDNY later announced that the fire had been accidentally caused by power wires that had overheated.[132] The April 2018 fire followed a minor electrical fire at the tower earlier that year, which had injured three people.[133]
