CNN has an early copy of Bob Woodward’s new book, Fear: Trump in the White House’ and the revelations are stunning, revealing a chaotic White House where his closest aides step in to protect ‘the country’ from a ‘dangerous’ President, going so far as to even hide papers on Trump’s desk so he wouldn’t sign them.
Quoting from insiders, Woodward illustrated how some of Trump’s inner circle view the President as a threat to national security and routinely hide paperwork and try and distract him from issues.
In the most shocking claim, Chief of staff John Kelly is quoted as calling Trump an “idiot” and “unhinged,” while 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 fucking liar,” telling Trump he would end up in an “orange jump suit” if he testified to special counsel Robert Mueller.
And while we’ve read about Trump’s disdain for his A.G., in private he reportedly slammed Jeff Sessions, saying:
“This guy is mentally retarded,” Mr. Trump r told staff secretary Porter. “He’s this dumb Southerner. He couldn’t even be a one-person country lawyer down in Alabama”.
“We’re in Crazytown. I don’t even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I’ve ever had.” – John Kelly.
The book goes for sale September 11th and we expect more bombshells — and a very angry President.
