Fear is an excellent title for Woodward's book, I'm about a quarter of the way through it ...

It's amazing to see how fuсking stupid and low information everyone in the White House thinks Trump is, not only does he have the intellect of a child, but he can't even grasp simple concepts of national security or basic economics.

All the man is capable of is making a lot of noise and creating chaos to keep everyone from focusing on how much of an absolute fuсkup he is

it's amazing how prominent a figure or even "celebrity" Trump has become despite all his deficits (in character and in finance), but this is a world where so many people admire the Kardashians, and for what reason? Trump pre-dates that family but the phenomenon is much the same, I believe.

He basically says the Trump is entertaining, the same way the Jerry Springer Show is entertaining, or a Russian driving video is entertaining, that alone does not get him to where he is, but he's also a con man with a style very similar to L. Ron Hubbard's , he's able to flim flam certain type of people by telling them exactly what they want to hear and exactly what they want to believe.

but you would think it's only the most sophomoric or naive people who would buy into such a simplistic huckster's repetitive words. There are a lot of televangelists, for example, who are much better spoken and more convincing.

as a president.

Woodward's book has knitted together and verified all the rumors and incomplete glimpses of his incompetence hinted at in Wolfe's and Omarosa's books.

The fact that this child was representing us against such a shrewd operative as Putin makes me shudder at what transpired the private meeting the two had.
