WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dipped to 37percent following a week of controversial allegations detailed in a newbook about the New York billionaire.

Days after he took office last January, Trump’s Gallup approval ratingstood at 45 percent. It declined throughout 2017, save for a few instanceswhen it rose, and closed the year at 39 percent.

The majority of recent polls have pegged Trump’s approval rating in the 30sand low 40s.

The recent release of Michael Wolff’s book, “Fire and Fury: Inside theTrump White House,” has apparently hurt his approval ratings further.

The newly published best-seller provides a behind-the-scene look at Trump’sWhite House and contains numerous allegations about theadministration depicting him as a child who feeds off instant gratification.

Trump has lashed out at the blockbuster book calling it a “fake book” thathas been written by a “totally discredited author.”

The author is, meanwhile, defending his book vehemently despite the WhiteHouse describing it as pure fantasy. Wolff has gone so far to say that hisrevelations will end the US president’s tenure.
