Bob Woodward: Trump's aides stole his papers 'to protect the country'

[trenchfoot]

Trump just tweeted the official responses form Sanders, Mattis, Kelly and then a whole new tweet reiterating that all three denounce the claims. Guessing he isn’t preordering it.

Fodder for the public (which is exclusive of Trump's supporters of course) to chew on (and laugh at), but we all know what kind of acrimonious blown out hissy fit Trump is having over this because more than anything else Trump is maniacally hypersensitive about what kind of image he portrays himself to the nation and the world. This due to the fact that his image is a mirage, a smokescreen that he built around himself as a way for him to hide the true nature and fatal flaws he possesses.

He's been made and he's been called out. He stands stark naked for all to see just how frail and feckless he really is.

And this is just for starters. Wait 'til Mueller somehow get his report past the gauntlet the Repubs have set up for him to fight his way through.

He’ll have to wait til it’s available on audio, he can’t read.

Jim Mattis thinking Trump has the mind of a fifth or sixth grader seems demeaning to fifth and sixth graders.

The audio of that phone call is so emblematic of this traitor's bullshit, wow. Demented self-promoting conman knows he's about the face the music, loses shit.

Well done Bob Woodward. Multiple copies ordered.

They can take it. They're far more resilient than Trump.

This is true, and it's also one of the weirdest aspects of this whole Trump phenomenon to me. The thing is, his true nature is right there at the surface. I never much paid attention to him prior to his involvement in politics, but the first time I watched one of his speeches during the primaries, I knew there was something different about him, and not different in a good way. Which had nothing to do with his policy positions. I'm used to republicans taking policy positions I don't like. It's his personality. His vanity and dishonestly he may as well just wear right on his sleeve. His "con" is a shtick targeted exclusively at people with either no brains or no ability to think critically for even 10 seconds. Fortunately for him, we seem to have an abundant supply of such people right now.

I hope Murkowski and Collins can stand up for women and the country itself and put the brakes on this joker. I wrote Susan Collins a letter the other day. Told her this is her part to play in American women standing up for themselves and all of us. You know Trump is crazy, you said it yourself on leaked audio, when you thought the mic was off! Time to pick: be gullible and pretend like your republican brethren can be trusted, or go down in history as heroines that stood up to a civil rights threat and Trump stain.

Another book?
Something else that comes and goes?
Might as well rerun everything that was said and aired over the Michael Wolff book FIRE and FURY.
Just re-roll the video and insert the name Woodward for Wolff, and the title FEAR for the title FIRE and FURY.
Wolff's book also exposed a presidency of lunacy, and people were shocked then... back to our regular scheduled programming.
To really sum this up it has already been said that those who do not like Donald Trump still will not like Donald Trump.
And those that like Donald Trump, this book will change nothing for them.
Bottom line, Woodward makes some money and thats about the extent of it.

I fully believe Donald Trump, the Trump Whitehouse, the Kelly Conway's and the Sarah Sanders actually welcome this distraction.
I think Donald Trump enjoys when a book as this is written then released.
What is happening is this type of stuff always backfires.
In the end Donald Trump easily survives. Donald Trump looks stronger. Donald Trump appears more of a god. A super hero that can fend off whatever his foes toss at him.
And for his base, his undying clan of mindless cult followers, in their minds the loyalty they pledged to this buffoon is only reenforced. Strengthened.

In the mean time, we have people suffering throughout our country. People homeless, people living paycheck to paycheck and still falling behind, people without healthcare, people and families in dire shape.
And those people turn on the TV and what do they see?
More of the same old BS.
A lot of much to do about nothing.
So there is where you find the people that vote for the likes of Donald Trump.
They did in 2016, and they will do it again.

This crap will not help democrats win in November. This crap will only energize the same people to once again come out to support Donald Trump and support ongoing republican control.
If there is a fool here, it is not Donald Trump. It is those that believe this book, as well as the other books, will make any difference.

This is Bob Fucking Woodward. He isn't a Wolff nor an Omarosa. His book will likely be considered a fundamentally important work written during this point in history.

BFW has respect and influence and worked decades to build that. It's not about "some money" and that's all.

Bob Woodward and CNN, is this any more credible than bigfoot reporting?

I mean seriously, what does CNN have to do to finally be fully discredited? And this is not a left/right thing, I'm not from the USA, but I wouldn't call MSNBC fake news, because they don't falsely claim to be objective and neutral. They are hardcore left and proud of it, so you know what you are getting, CNN on the other hand lies and says they are neutral, when any decent person no matter left or right knows they are hardcore left wing.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa hold up. Under no circumstances is Trump not the fool. Under no circumstances is his base not the stupidest people in modern America. Under no circumstances is his administration not complicit and corrupt. There may be some validity in what you are saying but it can exist simultaneously with the facts about Trump, his administration and the cult.

Woodward is by far a more reputable writer than Wolff. So far even the White House is calling Woodward's sources the liars, not him but even when that shifts Woodward is far more respected. You're correct that it will likely change nothing. The base are brainwashed and mesmerized and in a constant state of vigorous and aggressive hate masturbation. Trump's administration is in a constant state of corrupt, salacious, opportunistic and greedy masturbation. Trump is ugh... is just a mouth breathing, dumb as shit, narcissistic, slovenly, gluttonous, sexual predator, criminal, traitor with a shit stain for a brain. All of them are married to the idea of Fu*k the country and Fu*k freedom as long as it hurts the right people and financially enriches the right people. There's near 100% commitment toward that endeavor.

Though the left's attempts seem feeble (because they are) they can't do nothing. Woodward's book might be an eye opener for some so therefore I applaud it and wish it well.

Trump's swipe at Southerner's could very well hurt him. My experience with Southerner's is that they don't give one shit about people they don't care about thinking they're stupid and backwards but if they care about someone it makes them hot under the collar if that someone thinks they're stupid and backwards. They need their kind to support and encourage their stupidity not bash it.

There may yet be a breaking point for the cultists with Trump's disdain for them.

Please provide an exhaustive list of all the CNN articles that have been disproven since, say, 2014, among with credible citations to the source material disproving them.

Is MSNBC not left wing? Is Fox News not right wing? CNN is a hardcore left leaning news organization with literally thousands of fake news. Read The Intercept and Glenn Greenwald, he writes often about the liars at CNN.

You can't possibly be serious. CNN is far from left. I'd call them pretty centrist.

Two posts and I'm already tired of you and the dumb foreign guy schick.

Yes. Bob Fucking Woodward. The guy who helped uncover Watergate, and eminent presidential historian ever since.

If we did a poll on all conservatives in the USA, I'd bet 99% will say CNN is left wing. I'd think that would answer it, if you made a poll on liberals in the USA, I'd say 80% will say its "centrist". Its 100% hardcore left wing, there is no point debating this, you are not 'tricking' conservatives here into watching it in the hopes they become leftist.

With "literally thousands of fake news" it should be easy for you to provide a list with sources proving the stories were false.

You really don't understand how con artistry/ bullshit artistry works. It's not a rational thing. It doesn't work at a conscious level. A con artist captures the imaginations of his marks, manipulates them at an emotional level. He gets people to take him into their confidence. They find their prey as if by instinct. Trump is obviously very, very good at it. He's just in over his head as President.

So in other words you have nothing to back up your point other than your feelings. CNN is a very centrist news organization by any reasonable measure. The thing is, conservatives in the US are not reasonable. Every sane person knows this.

You have repeatedly said you aren’t from the US (as if that matters, other than likely making you ignorant of its politics). Where are you from?
