Bob Woodward's new book entitled "Fear: Trump in the White House"

[The Prowler]

Snipets...

“This was no longer a presidency. This is no longer a White House. This is a man being who he is.” Def Sec Mattis told aides that Trump was "like a fifth or sixth grader" while he tried to explain to Trump that he couldn't remove US troops from Korean Peninsula. “We’re doing this in order to prevent World War III.”

Trump said of AG Jeff Sessions: “This guy is mentally retarded. He’s this dumb Southerner. … He couldn’t even be a one-person country lawyer down in Alabama.”

Gary Cohn wrote a resignation letter after Charlottesville, but stayed on. Kelly told Cohn, "I would have taken that resignation letter and shoved it up his ass six different times."

Chief of Staff Kelly said of Trump: “He’s an idiot. It’s pointless to try to convince him of anything. He’s gone off the rails. We’re in Crazytown. I don’t even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I’ve ever had.”

At the urging of advisers, Trump condemned white supremacists and neo-Nazis, but almost immediately told aides, “That was the biggest fucking mistake I’ve made” and the “worst speech I’ve ever given.”

John Dowd did a practice Mueller interview with Trump...it went disastrously. Dowd told Trump: “Don’t testify. It’s either that or an orange jumpsuit.” He resigned as Trump's lawyer the following day. John Dowd was convinced that President Trump would commit perjury if he talked to the special counsel. He staged a practice session to make his point. Trump stumbled. "This thing’s a goddamn hoax," Trump erupted. "I don’t really want to testify.”

After Bashar al-Assad supposedly launched a chemical attack on civilians in April 2017, Trump called Mattis and said he wanted to assassinate the dictator. 'Let’s fucking kill him! Let’s go in. Let’s kill the fucking lot of them,' Trump said. Mattis hung up the phone and told senior aide, “We’re not going to do any of that.”

Top Trump advisers took papers off of the president's desk to stop him from making decisions, and “to protect the country.” Trump's former personal lawyer John Dowd describes Trump as "a fucking liar," telling him he would end up in an "orange jump suit" if he testified to special counsel Robert Mueller."

You can kiss my ass.  

Bob "Now Part of the Problem" Woodward can also kiss my ass.  

[CCTAU]

So there I was taking a shit. I ran out of paper. But lucky for me I had two books available, one by Omarosa and the other buy whoever this turd is. Once again saved by liberals!

[War Eagle!!!]

Man...this source has a lot of access to some top people.

Or this guy has a hell of a lot of sources that absolutely hate the President.

Or, this guy is trying to make money off of shit that may or may not be able to be proven.

Either or

Bob Woodward doesn't write for TMZ.  

[GH2001]

Bob Woodward doesn't write for TMZ. 

Still has to have a source though. 

[War Eagle!!!]

Bob Woodward doesn't write for TMZ. 

Are you implying that Woodward heard all of these things directly?

[wesfau2]

Are you implying that Woodward heard all of these things directly?

No.  Only that he's earned the benefit of the doubt.

[War Eagle!!!]

No.  Only that he's earned the benefit of the doubt.

Agreed. I will give the benefit of the doubt he heard them. That was not a point I ever made. I may have misspoken when I said "either or". I don't think the points above are mutually exclusive.

[AUTailgatingRules]

No.  Only that he's earned the benefit of the doubt.

Does John Kelly or General Mattis get the benefit of your doubt?

They both say it is complete nonsense

Sure.  I'm not saying that Woodward's book is the gospel, only that I won't be dismissing it out of hand.

[Snaggletiger]

This excerpt from the Washington Post piece tells me all I need to know.

Woodward writes that his book is drawn from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand participants and witnesses that were conducted on “deep background,” meaning the information could be used but he would not reveal who provided it.  

Bullshit!  First off, "firsthand participants and witnesses" means they are part of the Trump administration.  This is as high, career-wise, as most, if not all of them will go.  And they're running to Bob Woodward to offer "hundreds of hours" of interviews, saying horrible shit about the man that hired them?  Hundreds of hours? 

When Tuberville was at Auburn, my first cousin was Jay Jacobs right hand man/beyotch for a few years.  During CTT's last couple of years when things were going in the shitter, I was constantly contacting her for any scoop, so that my ePenis could expand to new heights.  Okay, 4 inches.  But that's not the point.  Until she left the athletic department, the most information I ever got out of her was "It's great to be an Auburn Tiger". 

We're expected to believe that numerous members of the Trump administration agreed to "hundreds of hours" of interviews with this man to trash their boss. Why?

It's like you haven't been paying attention for the last two years.  How many staff members have left/been fired?

[Snaggletiger]

If they've left or been fired, why the anonymity?  Absolutely nothing to lose and nothing to hide.  Seems that everyone else who left or got fired has been more than happy to try and cash in. "Yeah, Trump fired me, but don't tell him I told you this."

[WiregrassTiger]

I do not know a lot about bob Woodward. Never met the man.

But, I do know that he is very good at selling books.

Another part of the WAPO piece

The dramatic and previously untold scene is recounted in “Fear,” a forthcoming book by Bob Woodward that paints a harrowing portrait of the Trump presidency, based on in-depth interviews with administration officials and other principals.

They have this little thing, I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but it's called a recorder.

[WiregrassTiger]

When I leave this dump, I’m writing a tell all and then some.

[GH2001]

It's like you haven't been paying attention for the last two years.  How many staff members have left/been fired?

Most of the juicy quotes are from CURRENT employees of his.

 Please to be posting this recorded interview of said people that “cannot be disclosed”. Please.
