President Donald Trump’s stunningly candid interviews with Washington Post editor Bob Woodward, which have raised a major scandal over Trump’s deliberate downplaying of COVID-19, were stemmed from the President’s belief that he could get the journalist to give him good PR.
the President reportedly relying on his experience as a salesman
White House aides were blindsided on Wednesday
Would it be too harsh to say that they deserve each other?
I’m NoT reaDing aNy ‘gotchA’ booKs where the Authors UsE Trump’s quoTes to Make TruMp looK baD.
Yeah, woodward’s not famous for helping to bring down a president or anything.
How much does this asshole Not know, and when doesn’t he know it??
He was bragging like a 6 year old. I know something you don’t know…
Thus White House aides were blindsided on Wednesday
Perhaps they were blindsided at the level of malevolence and incompetence that their beloved leader demonstrated, but how could they have been surprised that a book published right now called Rage
was critical? Have they not been paying attention?
And obviously he thought that he was smarter than Woodward. He thinks he’s smarter than everyone, which is the reason that he gets played all the time. Any WH aide who was truly surprised isn’t smart. These people probably burn themselves on hot stoves all the time.
After all, giving controversial Republican presidents good PR is what Bob effing Woodward is known for.

y’all, I just can’t
Can we start calling him Captain Jean-Luc Petard?
You’ve probably seen this but it’s a great summary.

oh @clairecmc just has no fucks left.
What more do we need to prove that he has fatally bad judgement?
I’d think it’d be disqualifying in and of itself, although the refusal to take advice doesn’t help his case.
Not that I’m minding: the more seriously he flames out, the more of his party goes with him.
Well maybe the aides were blindsided, but in all fairness it is difficult, if not impossible, to gauge the stupidity of this guy.
You texting us from the Kennedy bayou in Louisiana?!
Ego meet ego - but one of them had a brain too. And it’s not the one in the White House.
If Trump ever read anything other than a KFC menu, he might have encountered some of Woodward’s books. Heck, he could have just watched the movie to see how well things turned out for Nixon.
And for months, Woodward must have been shaking his head, thinking “What a fucking moron.”
Well, Woodward fawned over Bush II.
Why not Donnie?
This is classic Donald, ‘I’ve’ got the best brain, ‘I’ can talk my way out of anything… He’s such a fool
Trump self-sabotage in action.
I loved Donnie saying ‘I probably won’t read the book…’. Of COURSE, not you miserable fk. If you had read ANY of Woodward’s books you would know that ‘good PR’ is not his style. Lord.
To be fair, Bob thinks that all the time, about a lot of people.
The trouble is that all the books and recent political videos that mock the Rump have absolutely no effect on his base. All they do is solidify liberals and hopefully make them mad enough to actually go out and vote. Democrats have a problem with that. Hopefully all the bad publicity helps a bit in November.
