Bob Woodward Releasing Book on Trump White House Right Before Midterms

He’s a Right winger, so it’ll be a love fest.

But isn't he a Bush right winger?

[QUOTE]Simon & Schuster announced his upcoming tome “Fear: Trump in the White House”

[QUOTE]The book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” is set to be released on Sept. 11, according to the book’s Amazon.com pre-order page.

[QUOTE]The book “reveals in unprecedented detail the harrowing life inside President Donald Trump’s White House and precisely how he makes decisions on major foreign and domestic policies,” according to Amazon.

He’s such a twonk. Nobody gives a fuck what he has to say anymore.

This will be one of the biggest books of the year.

There is no one in political journalism, let alone a titan like this dude, who could earnestly and honest write a “love fest” about Trump’s White House. This may not be as damning or as gossipy/trashy as Fire And Fury, but it will not be a “love fest”.

I’ll bet you any money, R1.

Bernstein is progressive true, but Woodward wil burn Donald at the stake for the damage he has done to the GOP. It is a shame they werent Collaborating but Trumps Treasonous Conspiracy utter incompetence should be terrifying for America.

Yes, a book from someone who was well known 45 years ago will be the thing that changes people's opinions.

Dear Deplorable posters he did it once before and he has learned many lessons since.

He wont change the minds of assholes 30%’er like you - but he sure will quite an impact with Americans that read newspapers and read books. That would be everyone but you - the Deplorable 30%.

R9, nothing but NOTHING will change the minds of the Deplorable Base. Nothing. If Trump is found to have murdered a pre-teen after raping her and paying for her abortion, his cult members will find a way to rationalize it.

The book will be great, I’m sure.

He's going to expose the fact that Rump uses a magic 8-ball to make all key policy decisions. You heard it here first!

Illegitimate’s base of Deplorables is like this : 80% of 33% of American voters.

That leaves 20% of Republicans that despise all things Trump Sleezy Crime Family, TeaParty Russian Lovers and Russian White Nationalist NRA Crazy BeJeezus fools.

So Donald really does only have a minority of a minority compared to Independents and Dems. He’s finished and this book will be a fracking BLOCKBUSTER.

Bob Woodward is still widely read by influential people and his books regularly make the best seller list. He is often on the Meet the Press show and national public radio. He is far from a has been.

Thank you, R14.

I’m assuming the DLer who wrote that he was someone who was famous 45 years ago, is just a stupid Millennial.

I'm reading "The Lost Tycoon", a book about trump written back in the early nineties. I'm not very far in, but it is enjoyably bitchy. Of course, it's very easy to be negative about trump, because it's all true.

What is really eerie is trump is running the White House [italic]exactly[/italic] like he ran his businesses back then. That includes creating unnecessary problems that his staff has to clean up, a notoriously short attention span (one of his staffers said it was about 26 seconds), pitting staff against each other and paranoia. It's just baffling beyond measure how this complete loser was able to create any wealth for himself at all. It seems all he knows to do is fuck things up. How did he ever succeed?

R16 are you seriously asking that questions? Re: His “Wealth” was made by stealing and lying. He was the only developer to go bankrupt in Atlantic City. He overspent and refused to pay his contractor. You can make a lot of money that way. As the years rolled by the bills due vs money coming in was so skewed he decided to take his company public, selling shares. Once public deplorables snapped up plenty - he declared bankruptcy and kept the money paid.

And now it is Russia Olegarchs for whom he has been laundering money. Like selling a $40Mill mansion w/oligarch buys for $90Mill. Real Estate is a great tool for laundering money.

Don’t forget the multiple bailouts from Fred Trump. He would’ve lost those casinos a long time before the bankruptcies if his father hadn’t been floating him money to keep it going.

I hope Bob Woodward doesn't read it to us with his Michigan EEEYAAACK-cent!

[quote] are you seriously asking that questions? Re: His “Wealth” was made by stealing and lying.

I was seriously asking, because during the 80's before he ran into trouble, you wouldn't believe the lavishness of his lifestyle. It was incredible how he lived and the amount of property that had his name on it. The author hasn't said if he was licensing his name at that point. I know he's a grifter, but the point I was trying to make is for a colossal fuck up he has successfully grifted on an unbelievable scale.

[quote]If Trump is found to have murdered a pre-teen after raping her and paying for her abortion, his cult members will find a way to rationalize it.

Jesus loves perverts!

R12, Ahem . . .

Bob Woodward is the Darwin Porter of political books. He always includes outrageous accusations that get either shot down or taken back.

[quote]I hope Bob Woodward doesn't read it to us with his Michigan EEEYAAACK-cent!

Is that his accent? I always thought he sounded a lot like Noam Chomsky.

FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS

He trashed the Stelle dossier when it first broke. Then he pretty much went silent. I think his ego can't take somebody else reporting big scoop.

They already shot their wad with Fire and Fury.

Who’s “They”, R28?

Wanna bet?

Even if the book slams DJT, it will only endear him even more with his Deplorable fan base. They'll just view it as another liberal establishment hatchet job on their boy. Same way with Amarosa's forthcoming tome.

R3' Your point is what exactly? The Rule of Law is what matters - everything he has done is tainted with criminality. What such a minority thinks doesnt matter. He will resign, be impeached or removed from office other ways.

Let’s focus on POS just proposing a Billion dollar tax cut for billionaires and millionaires. That just might do it for him with that crowd.

All the juicy excerpts in Fire and Fury have been posted online but you really need to read the book to understand how **relentlessly** chaotic Trump's WH is. There are some questions about accuracy though. I'll be interested to see the Woodward version.

As if this or any book will have an effect on T-rump's voters.

No, of course not. They are lost. Completely gone. One farmer said he was happy to die in poverty for trump. It's going to be a super juicy read though. According to Politico, Woodward talked to everybody.

On TV, Woodward shows signs of dementia.

However, I hope his anti-Trump book is a huge success.

R36, It won't be.

What seems most remarkable in this new Woodward book is exactly what seemed remarkable in the previous Woodward books, each of which was presented as the insiders’ inside story and each of which went on to become a number-one bestseller: these are books in which measurable cerebral activity is virtually absent.

R34, we covered that already. Jesus.

Well, MAGAts can call him a liberal, but Woodward is a Republican, just like Mueller and Rosenstein.

His book will be a success. Old school Republicans like my father will read it. My father was a young journalist when Woodward and Bernstein were reporting on Watergate. Anyone saying it won't is either a dumb, uneducated millennial or a troll.

The people in their 70s are fighting.

[QUOTE]President Donald Trump's closest aides have taken extraordinary measures in the White House to try to stop what they saw as his most dangerous impulses, going so far as to swipe and hide papers from his desk so he wouldn't sign them, according to a new book from legendary journalist Bob Woodward.

Yawn. How is omarosa book doing, has she revealed anything earth shattering yet or have you guys moved on.

[quote]Yes, a book from someone who was well known 45 years ago will be the thing that changes people's opinions.

Yes, because the persistent journalistic digging which led to the resignation of a President in disgrace; and the iconic scandal of Watergate which has been cited since Trump dubiously took office; these are negligible facts when considering the author of this new book.

The book is sure to have no impact, so shouldn't have been written. Far better just to let Trump keep degrading his country, without comment, because he 'won.'

We have a President who is a clear and present danger to the world. They’re trying to keep WWIII at bay.

Trump is insane!

Bob Woodward's books are scrupulously fact-checked and read by influential people. A Bob Woodward book began the death knell for the Bush presidency. This will not be good for Trump.

Things are even worse than we thought and the fascist Kavanaugh is going to be approved of. Republicans are even worse than I imagined.

It's time for the 25th Amendment.

😂 They’re gonna end up releasing the book early just like Fire & Fury.

He said Trumps aids will steaimaginable off his desk because he may sign them and they are dangerous. Mattis said he has the understanding of a 6th grader. Kelly says Trump is an idiot...Dowdy said he is a fucking liar. We need an impeachment today.

I think our country is over and destroyed by the worst people imaginable.

[quote]A Bob Woodward book began the death knell for the Bush presidency.

I must have been asleep when this occurred. Did he not finish his presidency?

Republicans have destroyed our country. I have been watching it for decades but I hoped people would learn to be more human but these deplorables just get worse and worse.

As I remember Bush finished his term...probably stealing from our treasury, a billion every day.

When will they release it? Goddamn it! Mueller needs to release something.

WP has released a transcript of the Woodward-Trump phone call when Woodward tried to get an interview with Trump.

Very scary.

In one of his books, Woodward claimed that the Nixons hadn't slept together in 30 years. How would he document that?

R5 is either a troll or a dumb millennial. Woodward and Bernstein were tesponsible for breaking Watergate.

[QUOTE]I've been on the receiving end of a Bob Woodward book. There were quotes in it I didn't like. But never once - never - did I think Woodward made it up. Anonymous sources have looser lips and may take liberties. But Woodward always plays is straight. Someone told it to him.

Ruh Ro.... he is tearing him apart...far from a love letter.

[quote]Trump’s staff staged a ‘coup’ to stop him from destroying nation: Woodward

Omg I need this now! RELEASE IT!

R45, while Omarosa's book was vindictive and catty, and she was out for a quick payday, she didn't make up anything. And she has the tapes to prove it. Woodward, however, is well respected and has credibility. He never would have released his book if it wasn't 100% accurate. He is meticulous in presenting facts. And no one is moving on from Omarosa. If anything, Woodward's book will just reinforce what she has written as the truth.

Bob Woodward’s New Book Scorches Earth Under Donald Trump, With John F. Kelly Proclaiming, “We’re In Crazytown”.....

The Most Explosive Revelations From Bob Woodward’s New Book Inside Trump’s White House...

Wow. The recording of Woodward, trump and Kellyann clearly displays trump telling lie after lie. I get why the repubs aren’t dealing with this nightmare until after the mid terms but maybe they will do the right thing after? This says more about the repubs than the trump monster.

Is it too late to start building a bomb shelter?

Sean Hannity will be tearing into Hillary and her emails tonight!

Can someone give me the annotated highlights of the phone call between Trump & Woodward? I genuinely don’t have time to read the whole thing

A few days ago I was at a restaurant counter that I go to regularly. Two guys in their 70s (know one of them) across from each other got on the topic of Trump. The one guy said he was having access problems getting affordable steel for his business. He mentioned that tariffs are the reason. He then added it is temporary because Trump is fixing everything. He declared Trump is the best President ever and supports everything he does. The other guy agreed and added Trump is the greatest and must stay President as long as he wants.

I did not engage them in the conversation. It is useless trying to argue with them or present them with facts. These Trump supporters watch Fox, and nothing but Fox, for their news/further indoctrination. They adore Trump's authoritarian behavior and think his name-calling and personal attacks show strength and toughness.

To the point, agree that 33% or so of the electorate will not budge from their enthusiasm for Trump. It is cultist. The option is to out-vote them. Republican House and Senate members up for election/re-election must be defeated in large numbers.

It's really not that long, R71.

Dear Lord in Heaven!

R35 I'd rather live in a depression-era-like WHITE U.S.A. than a prosperous multicultural U.S.A. Build the wall, cut taxes and entitlements. Can't afford health care, then you should avoid the luxury of sickness.

Bush served out his term, but the country had turned against him finally.

From what I hear on tv & Twitter, it’s nothing new. We know Trump’s advisors call him an idiot. That’s nothing new. We know he’s got the intellect of a 5th grader. All the other books on Trump told us this stuff and he’s still there. His base won’t abandon him. The GOP won’t abandon him. This book won’t change any minds anymore than Wolff’s or Manigault’s did. In fact, it’s all sounding so repetitious it might be making people weary of hearing it.

People like myself who hate Trump will never become weary of hearing it. Nor will we become weary of seeing the White House in damage control mode.

R78 there is definitely truth to your points. It’s not a lot that’s new and people are being ground down. But I will offer why I think this is different. This book gives broader context to the overall atmosphere at the WH, and it is really the first unarguably credible book on the Trump WH.

Will this change Deplorables/the GOP? Nope, they’re ignorant. But what it will do is fire up OUR base. Our base is already toasty warm, and this turns the flame up a few notches. So the people who vote Dem are actually becoming activists within their own little Circles of Influence. Grassroots. And isn’t that how Democracy is supposed to work? People are actually getting off their asses, getting involved, taking risks in conversations with people, encouraging them to get knowledgeable and to vote.

So this won’t influence his base, but it will energize our base, which will in turn affect the elections. This war will be won by getting out Dem voters, PARTICULARLY for the midterm. This book came at the perfect time — and that mother fucker knows it. I am thankful for much of Woodward’s career, can’t say I have personal feelings positive/negative toward him. But this book? Bobby W., lemme pinch your cheeks and give you a kiss!!!
