ALF Posted September 4, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 That story was already rejected by Kelly months ago... But Woodward has nameless sources, so they must be real/truthful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that, and yet still not Hillary. I call that a victory. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we know, the unnamed sources are only correct if they either cite unnamed methods or that they heard the information 3rd hand from another unnamed source who was in a position to overhear someone close to the situation talking about it in the bathroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbb Posted September 4, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted September 4, 2018 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted September 4, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
