One of the big questions of the Donald Trump era is whether the category of political scandal still exists. Trump’s tenure was accompanied by numerous books that portray the incompetence and weak leadership of the president in the most dazzling colors.
As early as January 2018, a year after Trump’s inauguration, author Michael Wolff published an internal report describing the White House as an intriguing city, incapable of making reasonable decisions. Shortly thereafter, the book “Furcht” by Watergate developer Bob Woodward appeared, in which even close associates refer to the president as “idiots” and “elementary school students.” Finally, the memoirs of Trump’s former security adviser John Bolton paint the picture of a president publicly branding the strongman, but internally asking dictators like Chinese President Xi Jinping for help for re-election.
In other times, any of these books would have had the potential to topple a president. But Trump has upended the standards of decency and honesty in recent years until now that at least his followers have forgiven him for everything; its popularity ratings are low but stable. Legendary reporter Bob Woodward’s new book could have what it takes to deal Trump the decisive blow and torpedo his chances of being reelected on November 3. Because this book is different.
