Trump will execute a cannon firing of those who talked to Bob Woodward. The book, Fear: Trump in The White House is a best seller. |
In the words of John Kelly, the chief of staff, "This is 'crazytown.'"
It has gotten Donald J. Trump upset. And like most presidents, Woodward is given access to many within the White House and he does tape conversations.
Trump was none too happy about the book, Fear: Trump in The White House.
Trump fired a few rounds on Woodward.
Thank you General Mattis, book is boring & untrue! https://t.co/Bq79ZjF3Dk— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018
Thank you General Kelly, book is total fiction! https://t.co/J5iUONhRin— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018
Almost everyone agrees that my Administration has done more in less than two years than any other Administration in the history of our Country. I’m tough as hell on people & if I weren’t, nothing would get done. Also, I question everybody & everything-which is why I got elected!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018
Isn’t it a shame that someone can write an article or book, totally make up stories and form a picture of a person that is literally the exact opposite of the fact, and get away with it without retribution or cost. Don’t know why Washington politicians don’t change libel laws?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018

Jim Mattis Calls Woodward Book 'Fiction': 'Product of Someone's Rich Imagination' https://t.co/HGMDiH98nx via @BreitbartNews— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018
The already discredited Woodward book, so many lies and phony sources, has me calling Jeff Sessions “mentally retarded” and “a dumb southerner.” I said NEITHER, never used those terms on anyone, including Jeff, and being a southerner is a GREAT thing. He made this up to divide!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018
The Woodward book has already been refuted and discredited by General (Secretary of Defense) James Mattis and General (Chief of Staff) John Kelly. Their quotes were made up frauds, a con on the public. Likewise other stories and quotes. Woodward is a Dem operative? Notice timing?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 4, 2018

Reminder: when Woodward wrote the bombshell book about Barack Obama, conservative agitators wanted to have access to him. Sean "Softball" Hannity had Woodward on many times. The book, Obama's War was critical of 44.
The Obama Administration was none too happy about the book.
Woodward went into The White House and got in touch with a handful of people who are extremely close to Trump. This book got staffers at the White House shaking.
Trump angry over the book. |
The book provides a look into Trump's inner circle. He had criticized members past and present.
He even called embattled Attorney General Jeff Sessions (aka Magoo) a "mentally retarded" who is a "dumb southerner." He felt betrayed by Sessions recusing himself after he was implicated in the Russian probe.
CNN had Woodward on to discuss the book.
Woodward also wrote that Trump is obsessed with demeaning the junk food media. He is paranoid, often watching hours of cable news in the White House. He believes the junk food media is out to get him. Trump often engages in profanity laced tirades about how the media covers him. He demeans people who get on his nerves.
He was unaware that Woodward was trying to reach out to him.
Trump also called on Kellyanne Conway to explain why she didn't get in touch with him. Conway explained that she did but people above her didn't clear the interview. Trump also blamed Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Graham talked to Trump about the book. Trump said he briefly heard about it.
Trump went into a repetitive rant about how he done so much in the few months than most presidents ever. He went on to trash Obama's handling of the country and said that he is making progress.
Trump also said that he fears the book will be negative.
CNN added that the book displays some of Trump's unique antics. He loves trashing people who anger him. It is that Trump enjoys humiliating others. He believes his campaign to trash Hillary Clinton is working. He calls upon his best buddy on Fox News to promote his agenda. He also aimed high at critics who talk about his victory.
Today he went after Chuck Todd.
Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Fake NBC News said it’s time for the Press to stop complaining and to start fighting back. Actually Chuck, they’ve been doing that from the day I announced for President. They’ve gone all out, and I WON, and now they’re going CRAZY!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2018
Todd believes that these individuals are causing an unprecedented havoc on journalism and the truth.
Woodward also noted that Trump aimed at Jay Sekalow and Rudy Giuliani, his personal attorneys.
In the wake of Michael Cohen flipping to the feds, Giuliani went on television and did a disastrous interview. Trump let him have it right to his face. You notice that Giuliani isn't on television much.
"Rudy, you're a baby. I've never seen a worse defense of me in my life. They took your diaper right off there. You're like a little baby that needed to be changed. When are you going to be a man?"
Bob Woodward says Trump is doing the same things Richard Nixon done. |
Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was quoted. He said that Trump was a "fucking moron."
The book mentioned that. It led to Tillerson being fired out the cannon. Tillerson left this year.
Woodward also quotes an unnamed White House official who gave an even more dire assessment of the meeting: "It seems clear that many of the president's senior advisers especially those in the national security realm, are extremely concerned with his erratic nature, his relative ignorance, his inability to learn, as well as what they consider his dangerous views."
Woodward also notes that national security officials believe Trump has an obsession with money --- trade deficits and the cost of troops overseas.
Jim Mattis, the U.S. Defense Secretary said that its best to keep Trump off the nuclear codes.
"We're doing this in order to prevent World War III."
Mattis said that Trump has the mindset of a "fifth or sixth grader."
"I think we could be so rich if we weren't stupid," Mattis being cited by Woodward. Mattis claims that Americans are being played for "suckers."
So much damaging stories in this book and I didn't get to cover all of it. Take it away Bob.
