Woodward’s book reveals the scenes before Soleimani’s murder. “The idea was discussed on Trump’s golf course.”

Woodward revealed what was happening in his conversations with Trump about the Soleimani murder, including that the latter had discussed the idea days before it was implemented at his golf course in Florida.

His partner in the game that day was Senator Lindsey Graham, who became one of his most important advisers and urged him not to take the “big” move that could lead to “all-out war.”

Graham warned him of the move and said, “How about you kill one person under Suleimani that everyone can absorb.”

Trump’s personnel officer, Mick Mulvaney, appealed to Graham, asking him to do everything possible to change the president’s mind, while Defense Secretary James Mattis slept in his uniform in preparation for any emergency.

Trump, who said that the Iranian general and commander of the Quds Force in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards had planned an attack on US forces in Iraq, was not convinced.

Soleimani was assassinated on January 3 and prompted Iranian retaliation, but it was not in the rule that Graham and others expected, according to the writer.

Woodward has met with the President of the United States 18 times and has spoken extensively with aides to Graham and Trump.

And the image that appears in the book has been released, according to the “Guardian”: a fickle president, easily influenced by dictators, who changes his stance from a hard-line defender of war to a sycophantic of the enemies of States. United.

Woodward focuses in his book on how leaders manipulated “dictators”, as he described them, with the president. Despite special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections, Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coates has become convinced that Vladimir Putin has control over Trump. .

The book indicates that former Foreign Minister Rex Tillerson, during a visit to occupied Jerusalem, received from the Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, a videotape, in which he claimed that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was inciting violence, to hand it over to Trump.

Tillerson believed the video was made when the words and sentences were taken out of context, but Trump, who did not trust Netanyahu, was completely convinced. On his visit to Bethlehem, he insulted Abbas, describing him as a liar and a murderer, and immediately after that, he cut diplomatic relations with him and stopped financial support for the Authority.

Tillerson is convinced that Netanyahu made the tape “to kill whatever pro-Palestinian sentiment the president has shown.”
