"Fear: Trump in the White House"

Amongst the other titles that are about to hit the shelves about this shitshow of a presidency, this one seems the most reputable and honest, mainly because of the author's reputation and legacy.

Carl Bernstein, on CNN:

Bernstein's main point to Anderson Cooper: "Yes, there's been reporting on this, a good deal of it. But now we have a coherent, indisputable narrative that is absolutely chilling in the following way: The people closest to the president of the United States, in his W.H. and in his administration, are saying that they see their job as protecting the United States FROM the president of the United States. That he is a danger to the republic. That is the text of this book. Every meeting that Bob writes about, that is the subtext. And it's not just a sentence here or somebody calling somebody an idiot there, it is detail piled upon detail..."
>> Bernstein also vouched for Woodward's reporting talent as only Bernstein could do. "This is an irrefutable picture, because of Bob Woodward's methodology," he told Brooke Baldwin earlier in the day...

-- WaPo veteran Robert G. Kaiser: "Just a reminder: Woodward does not make mistakes. He doesn't invent stuff. In our 40 years together at the Post, I remember just one correction of a Woodward story -- Watergate aficionados know the story, an insignificant slip-up."
Woodward's only comment:


"I stand by my reporting."


Weigh in.

Re: "Fear: Trump in the White House"

Either every single person in the WH staff (or former staff) is totally fabricating the exact same stories, or it's all true...

Pulling documents off of his desk so he doesn't do major damage to the country is very scary. One, that they need to treat him like a toddler, and two, that the Office of the President is so easily manipulated as to what he sees or doesn't see.

And as far as the "he said, he said" argument, Woodward has made one insignificant mistake in 40 years. IQ45 has made roughly 5000 outright verifiable lies within the last year and a half. Who am I going to believe?....

And Congress (well, the GOP portion of it...) is totally complicit in all of this.
