ALF Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Woodward's 448-page book, Bob Woodward: Trump's aides stole his papers 'to protect the country' 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. Woodward offers a devastating portrait of a dysfunctional Trump White House, detailing how senior aides — both current and former Trump administration officials — grew exasperated with the President and increasingly worried about his erratic behavior, ignorance and penchant for lying. Chief of staff John Kelly describes Trump as an "idiot" and "unhinged," Woodward reports. Defense Secretary James Mattis describes Trump as having the understanding of "a fifth or sixth grader." And Trump's former personal lawyer John Dowd describes the President as "a !@#$ing liar," telling Trump he would end up in an "orange jump suit" if he testified to special counsel Robert Mueller. "He's an idiot. It's pointless to try to convince him of anything. He's gone off the rails. We're in crazytown," Kelly is quoted as saying at a staff meeting in his office. "I don't even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I've ever had." https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/04/politics/bob-woodward-book-donald-trump-fear/index.html?adkey=bn 1
Deranged Rhino Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 That story was already rejected by Kelly months ago... But Woodward has nameless sources, so they must be real/truthful.

Deranged Rhino Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Woodward's "Legend" doesn't match reality.
3rdnlng Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Woodward's anonymous source had to be gator so we know how seriously we must take his book.
donbb Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 WaPo has a recording of a call between Woodward and Trump (and a little bit of KellyAnne). Trump comes off as dumb as ever - and lies multiple times as well. You idiots are in denial if you believe Trump over Woodward. 1
Deranged Rhino Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Gary is gonna keep on believing unnamed sources - even though they constantly are proven to be wrong - until he goes down with the ship. It's not about Trump vs Woodward's credibility. It's about Woodward's work - which relies exclusively on anonymous sources talking about stories the principles already denied. Good reporting has evidence to back it up. Woodward's book has unnamed speculations. Its gossip. Not journalism. And it's shite because of it.

Deranged Rhino Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Only someone who doesn't look at the information shared in those links, which are primary sources, would think that. And be honest, Gary. You can't quit me. You've proven that over multiple accounts and handle changes.

Deranged Rhino Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Not when the subject of the story, Kelly, denies its reality. Again, you've been pushing a baseless conspiracy theory for over two years now, so I understand why you confuse fiction with fact.
