Trump knocks Woodward book as 'total joke,' vows to write 'real book'

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Monday morning slammed veteran journalist Bob Woodward's new book as "total joke," vowing to write "real book" of his own.

"The Woodward book is a Joke - just another assault against me, in a barrage of assaults, using now disproven unnamed and anonymous sources," Trump tweeted. "Many have already come forward to say the quotes by them, like the book, are fiction. Dems can’t stand losing. I’ll write the real book!"



The White House has spent days pushing back on Woodward's upcoming book, "Fear: Trump in the White House." The president has claimed the Watergate journalist is an "idiot," while White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the book is full of "fabricated" accounts.

Trump is calling a person a liar, Woodward, who has proven in the past, that he tells the truth. Trump on the other hand, lies about most things. Now who are we going to believe? The liar, or the person that has proved he tells the truth?..
.....Yes, some, 25 percent, may believe Trump. The rest will not believe the liar, but the reporter who tells the truth. K and R

Stapling together all of the declassified daily briefings "flash cards". Cards with the pretty pictures the briefers HAVE to use to get their message across?

It appears the man can barely read let alone write.

If you wonder why he wanders from one topic to another it because he can't read the teleprompter.

Oh ya and he is delusional.

He is intellectually unable to write a book, has issues with 140 character tweets certainly can't handle tens of thousands of words and have them make any sense at all. Anytime you see a coherent tweet that's not horribly hate filled, it was done by one of his staff, never him.

What if your mechanic, accountant, doctor, butcher, baker, electrician decided to overturn the reality of their professional lives and write books about how to do it according to their own rules? Total chaos. There would be shortcuts, surely, but soon standards would erode and none would be able to communicate effectively with one another.

Trump is a mental case.

46. emotional thirteen-year-old says what?
Mon Sep 10, 2018, 10:30 AM
Sep 2018

Here's a bit of a book to get you started, Donnie:


Trump lacks the emotional stability, knowledge, critical-thinking skills, and judgment to be commander in chief. Emotionally, he remains the thirteen-year-old troublemaker his father sent off to a military academy, where by his own account brutality was common. Being stuck in the awkward year between childhood and maturity for nearly six decades is a terrible fate, one that has twisted Trump's personality and explains much of his narcissism, immature attitudes about women, disregard for others, and his imagined intellectual gifts shown by his frequent declaration that "I'm like a smart person".

Not from Trump of course, but from an accolade like Jim Corsi. He was the one who wrote the disgusting hit piece "Unfit For Service" that christened the verb "Swiftboat" on John Kerry when he was running for pres.

He finally crawled out of the political woodwork last week when he appeared on Alex Jones' program. He threatened to "take Mueller out back of the justice building" because, as he put it, "if he wants to act like a thug, I'll treat him like one". I imagine he'll work for cheap and being in his 70s it's a lot easier than going a round with Mueller.

Hopefully no publisher will touch it...besides the fact that they won't have any editorial control (more than likely, no one can write better than rump (sarcastic here), it will have to be classified as porn and science fiction because it will be full of his sexual abuse and claims of moving the moon!
