I read it a month or two ago, & it's quite good. Witty, incisive, & utterly appalling. Enjoy.

... Wilson's own long career as a GOP operative/strategist. He'd do it all again in a heartbeat, I think, but he definitely is a never-Trumper who has always seen Trump for what he is.
I think an evening with this character would be fascinating: he's got a very sharp wit and sharp tongue.

Wilson couldnt completely stop himself from throwing in a few gratuitous Democratic slams, but he really has Trumps number and he pulls no punches.
