Bob Woodward on Trump: 'The wrong man for the job'
In an exclusive extract from his new book Rage, award-winning journalist Bob Woodward lights a fuse beneath the US president.
"Presidents have a large obligation to inform, warn, protect, to define goals … Trump has, instead, enshrined personal impulse as a governing principle of his presidency," Bob Woodward writes in his new book "Rage". Bloomberg
After I finished reporting for my book on President Trump, I felt weariness. The country was in real turmoil. The virus was out of control. The economy was in crisis with more than 40 million out of work. A powerful reckoning on racism and inequality was upon us. There seemed to be no end in sight, and certainly no clear path to get there.
I thought back to the conversation with Trump on February 7 when he mentioned the “dynamite behind every door”, the unexpected explosion that could change everything. He was apparently thinking about some external event that would affect the Trump presidency.
