American investigative journalist and author Bob Woodward (77) does not want to rule out serious consequences in the event that President Donald Trump (74) is defeated. “He is acting suspicious. The unthinkable can happen here, ”Woodward said in an interview with Spiegel magazine.
“Actually, it is one of the duties of the president to guarantee the peaceful transfer of power and the integrity of the electoral process. Trump, for his part, has already trampled on the most fundamental right Americans have, the right to vote, and said: ‘We will not know who was elected. The election threatens an unprecedented degree of chaos and disorganization. ›»
Woodward believes Trump will win
Trump’s Democratic challenger Joe Biden (77) is less than two weeks away from the Nov. 3 election leading the national polls, but Woodward is not ruling out a Trump victory. “Well, it is very possible that he will win. Some people believe that it is impossible. I don’t trust the polls. “
Woodward explains Trump’s electoral victory four years ago as follows: “I believe that in 2016 the old order also died in America. The two main parties, Republicans and Democrats alike, did not see the moment. He did not notice the sensitivity of the population. Trump, on the other hand, understood them in an amazing way. Intuitive, not intellectual. “
“He just doesn’t understand that it is his responsibility.”
Woodward does not consider Trump to be presidential due to his handling of the crown pandemic. “I think now he just doesn’t understand that it is his responsibility to protect people. Nor does he understand that he has a responsibility to tell the truth. And he doesn’t understand his moral responsibility to conscientiously fulfill the duties of a president. “
According to Johns Hopkins University, about 8.34 million people have been infected with the coronavirus in the United States. More than 222,000 people have died in connection with Corona.
Woodward, 77, spoke to Trump for nine hours this year alone for his new book “Rage” (German: “Wut”). He has enjoyed the status of a legendary reporter since the revelations of the Watergate scandal. The scandal ended in 1974 with the resignation of President Richard Nixon. (SDA)
