Sadly this is not a book review as Fear: Trump in the White House, by Pulitzer Prize winning author Bob Woodward isn’t being published until next Tuesday, but I already have my hold placed at the library and rest assured as soon as I read it I will post my review. Unlike the two previous authors of books on a Trump, Omarosa and Michael Wolff, Bob Woodward is a highly respected journalist and author, so it’s going to be difficult to tear him down. There are of course some juicy tidbits already leaking out including this bizarre, rambling phone conversation between Woodward and Mr. Trump.
Yeah. This is gonna be GOOD!

I’ve been jumping up and down Shalini since the news broke a couple of months ago about this. Bob Woodward is one of my heroes (I briefly considered majoring in journalism because of him). His journalistic integrity is unquestionable and Trump and his minions aren’t going to be able to brush him aside.

They’ve already started Pete. No one except for Trump’s base will fall for their lies. Woodward’s journalistic credentials and reputation are impeccable.

A “must read” – while the more sensational material will come out for the purpose of selling books, what is important here is to understand just how dysfunctional our current system of government is, and how the actions of a single person can have disastrous consequences worldwide.

I cannot wait to dive into this John. Going from Woodward’s previous books, no one does a better or more thorough job at showing what’s going on behind the scenes of a presidency.

Yes, no matter how much his reputation is trashed, they won’t succeed because he’s honest and objective – they just don’t want the truth revealed

Exactly John. Trump admits in the phone call that he’s always found Woodward to be fair. Of course they’ve already started counterattacking including Trump’s tweet tonight that Woodward may be a Democratic operative. Funny, he tweeted lovely complementary things about Woodward’s “Obama’s Wars”.

Everything we will see to smear Woodward will come from Trump’s usual playbook of praising those who attaches enemies, and turning on everyone who challenges him. So sad and dangerous for our country

Dear Kim,
This book ‘Fear’ is already earning a lot of headlines. There are a lot of White House staffers doing a lot of explaining to the president. We already knew how dysfunctional it has been in the White House.
As you said, this book has the credibility the others have lacked.
And, oh Lordy, Mr. Woodward has tapes and documents.
Now the question is, how the GOP members in the US Congress are going to continue to justify their kowtowing to President Trump?
Hugs, Gronda

Ooh this will probably be a good read! I didn’t even know he had a book coming out! He’s the journalist that helped uncover the Watergate scandal…I think? Lol. I think we talked about him in journalism school.

Yes. It was Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward who uncovered Watergate. He’s written about every presidential administration from Nixon and now through Trump.

However he feels about Trump, you can be sure it wouldn’t be reflected in his writing. Even Trump said during that bizarre telephone conversation that Woodward was always fair. Of course now in his latest tweet he’s accusing him of being a “Democratic operative.”

We have a political commentator by the name of Michael Cockerell, very similar to Bob Woodward in that for the last 30 years Michael makes documentaries and MP’s flock to be interviewed by him then tell him every detail!!! So very strange some broadcasters like those two are SO respected like no one else!! Both are journalistic superstars a bit like rock stars………………. lol no point to this comment except I guess All The President’s Men is my favourite movie of all time.
