According to the Woodward book super don's staff regularly removed papers from his desk so he wouldn't do something foolish. Didja know?

Super don never said a word. Why? Because he didn't notice it. He didn't remember it. So they were constantly playing nanny to him to protect him from himself and the country from him. Unsung heroes or enablers? Should be thanked and rewarded or spanked and shunned?

    I wonder if anything in that book is true.  Granted, it sure sounds believable (although I think putting trump at a 5th grade level is a bit high).

    I guess you don't know who Bob Woodward is Shuhak. Remember Watergate? Remember Woodward and Bernstein? Two reporters who uncovered what was going vis a vis that scandal. He is a very well-respected journalist. He has people on tape. He has hundreds of hours of tapes. He has memos and emails. Everything  he alleges can be proven. He is meticulous in the detail he can show. I'm a little puzled why you would ask that considering his stature and reputation but I guess you can't know everything about everyone. Also another bombshell of which you may be unaware. The New York Times published an Op Ed by an allegedly very high up official who blew the whistle on what has been going and it is scathing in its depiction of the don john. He chose to do it Anonymously which is never good. Hopefully his conscience will bring him out of the shadows. Omarosa also has tapes to back up what she wrote in her book. Michael Cohen has tapes.  I'm pretty positive that lots of folks taped conversations because no one trusted the don john. Why should they? At any rate the beat goes on. More discoveries. More headaches for don. More to worry about. Thank you for your reply.

    Regardless of whether the book is accurate or not, Trump has (of course) summarily denounced it as “a work of fiction” before it’s even released. As another droplet in the river of BS that pours from Trump’s rampant narcissism, on what basis do we believe he has any insight as to what is fact or fiction...

    Trump’s making quite a (another) wanton, desperate claim considering he has not read it, will not read it, nor read ANY other book for that matter. All of his own books were ghostwritten. Reading and literature are beyond Trump’s capacity. All he gets is that Woodward’s book doesn’t prop up his fragile ego, therefore it must be fiction. 

    In expressing his stunted opinion, the Orange Clown has also displayed his unbounded disrespect of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and freedom of the press, unless its his own speech, expression or favored press. This is tantamount to FASCISM, folks. Get informed.

    * a Big Shout Out to the NY Times Op-Ed author who slammed Trump’s character and leadership, corroborated some of Woodward’s claims and reassures us that there are still adults in the room protecting the nation by thwarting the unhinged POTUS‘ baser impulses.

    Bob Woodward has meticulous notes, emails, memos and HUNDREDS OF HOURS of tapes. He informed the folks that they would be recorded. Why they said what they said and then deny it beats me. That ANONYMOUS Op Ed author must come out of the closet and disclose himself. For the sake of the country. The situation is currently critical. We always knew the donjohn was a loose cannon. But he is also a grenade whose top has been pulled and will explode and blow up very soon. We don't have any more time. Day by day the ship of state is sinking and Republicans choose to ignore it completely. Unbelievable! Thank you for your reply DB and Happy Thursday to thee!  :) They are FASCISTS DB. All anyone has to do is look the word up in the dictionary and it speaks of EXTREME RIGHT WING VIEWS and  RACISM. But  I doubt seriously that FASCISTS read much or know much or think much. They mostly operate from an overabundance of hate. SIGH. Emotional is what they are. Intellectual? Hardly. This post was edited by RosieG at September 6, 2018 4:34 AM MDT
