Reddit reviews Fear: Trump in the White House

According to numerous Republican accounts (Priebus, McMaster, Bannon, Graham, Porter, Cohn and Conway) in Woodward's book [1], seems like everyone has to say the same thing a staggering number of times because the President seems to forget it each time they meet... The next day. So it's good you're used to repeating yourself, your president needs you to.

If you haven't already pre-ordered the book you can do so here

The preface in the Woodward book (https://www.amazon.com/Fear-Trump-White-Bob-Woodward/dp/1501175513) is about everyone in the White House running around trying to convince Trump that we need a missile defense base in South Korea and trying to explain to him why it is important for National Security.

Then as an act of desperation they get Mathis to come down to the White House to do the explaining because Mathis is one of the people Trump actually respects. You can just feel the exhaustion in the account and imagine how many other basic concepts Mathis has had to go over with Trump.

Bob Woodward (Fear: Trump In the White House) has a lot to say about how Bannon under Mercer uses CA to foster unrest worldwide. Even though his goal is Christian Reconstruction/Dominionism.

>I want Trump to testify. It blows my mind he didn't have to for Mueller. Hillary testified for hours on end. Why can't he? Not enough stamina?

Don John couldn't pass a ten minute mock interview from his own lawyer to prep him for talking to Robert Mueller. John Dowd sat D.J.T. down, posed a couple of likely questions Mueller would ask and Trump lied directly to his face, rambled incoherently and then argued with his own law advisor about the answers. That is hilarious and incredible at the same time.

Trump can't be allowed to take the stand. It would be perjury in seconds and he would be in an orange jumpsuit immediately... and that's not my opinion, that is his own legal counsel saying that: Source

Here's the book, if you want the full horror: Amazon link

He refused to fund the campaign transition team because "it's my money"^(1) and he thought they were wasting it. It was the campaign's money and it was the responsibility of the campaign to fund the transition team.

Hey, not to be the "actually" guy. However, you can make something true by believing. its called the tinker bell effect. Money is the main example. 20 dollars is worth 20 dollars because we all believe it is.

​

Sometimes the opposite is true, the reverse Tinkerbell effect, where the more you believe something the less true it becomes. If more people believe that driving is the safest way to travel, then more people will drive, and they will drive more carelessly.

But Trump is a moron... I read in a book, he wanted the treasury to print more money to pay off the debts
