The 5 Wildest Revelations in Bob Woodward’s New Trump Book

The 5 Wildest Revelations in Bob Woodward’s New Trump Book

Last month, President Trump tweeted that Bob Woodward’s forthcoming book about his administration would be “fake.” (“The Bob Woodward book will be a FAKE, as always, just as many of the others have been.”) It’s not clear why Trump agreed to give Woodward several on-the-record interviews with himself and his top officials, because the last Woodward book had also enraged Trump by conveying his unfitness for office.

But it is clear why Trump felt obliged to instruct his supporters to ignore Woodward’s revelations, the recordings of which he has released today. Even though it is perhaps metaphysically impossible to devastate Trump’s reputation — at some point there’s no lower bottom that can be reached — it still manages to yield a series of shocking confessions from the mouths of the president and his handpicked team.
