Woodward book offers damning assessment of Trump White House

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Veteran journalist Bob Woodward offers a damning portrayal of the Trump White House in a new book, according to excerpts published Tuesday in The Washington Post.

The Watergate reporter's book details numerous instances of conflict between the president and his staff and paints the picture of a dysfunctional White House full of "predators," in the words of former chief of staff Reince Priebus.

Trump and aides bad-mouthed one another often, according to The Washington Post, which obtained a copy of the book, titled "Fear: Trump in the White House."

Trump mocked Attorney General Jeff Sessions's accent and described him to a staffer as "mentally retarded" and a "dumb Southerner."

The president told Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, “I don’t trust you. I don’t want you doing any more negotiations."

Trump suggested former national security adviser H.R. McMaster dressed "like a beer salesman" and called Priebus "a little rat."

Current chief of staff John Kelly is said to have called Trump "unhinged" and an "idiot."

A substantial part of his base is Southerners. It will be interesting to see what happens when they realize what Dear Leader really thinks of them.

6. I don't think even that will do it.

A lot of them identify as dumb and take a perverse pride in it.

Along the lines of "Ah ain't gots me no edjumacayshun, but I gots me common sense!" This, despite showing no outward sign that they possess sense of any kind.

3. I will have to say that majority of the Democrats, Liberals and Progressives

already are aware of this and do know that General Mattis and others that are partially sane and have kept us from a major conflict in the world. GOPers, in other words, are helping shithole destroy the United States of America.

4. These are the people running our country ....

are we doomed. Will the country ever recover from this disastrous administration. They are all covering up for a total mentally incompetent mad man and do not give one damn about our country as long as they can stay in power. They must be voted out, it's our only hope.
