Tape recordings and excerpts from the veteran Watergate reporter’s upcoming bok Rage make a series of explosive revelations.
CORONAVIRUS
Trump told Woodward on February 7 that the coronavirus was “deadly.”
“You just breathe the air and that’s how it happens. And that is very complicated. That is very delicate. It is also more deadly than even his exhausting fever. This is a deadly thing, ” he said, but did not tell the public what he knew.
COVER
On January 28, Robert O’Brien told Trump that the coronavirus “will be the greatest threat to national security that he will face in his presidency” and said: “This is going to be the hardest thing he will face.” Trump then told Americans that it was “under control” and that it would “disappear.”
And on March 19 Trump said: ‘I always wanted to downplay it. I still like to downplay it, because I don’t want to create a panic. ‘
NORTH KOREA
Trump calls Kim ‘beyond smart’ and says the dictator told him ‘everything’, bragging about how he described the brutal execution of his uncle in a power struggle.
Woodward reveals Kim Jong-Un’s ‘love letters’ to Trump telling ‘His Excellency’ to ‘take his hand’ and call their summit ‘a fantasy movie’.
But Woodward also reveals that when Trump tweeted about ‘Little Rocket Man’ Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, he was so concerned about the escalation that he slept in his clothes.
TRUMP IN THE MILITARY
“My fucking generals are a bunch of jerks,” Trump shouted in the Oval Office, calling his backing for NATO and an alliance with South Korea “stupid.” It costs us $ 10 billion. We are fools.
… AND ITS PREDECESSORS
Trump said Woodward made George W Bush “look like a stupid jerk, which he was.” Of Obama he ranted: ‘I don’t think Obama is smart … I think he’s very overrated. And I don’t think he’s a great speaker. ‘ He added that Kim Jong-Un called Obama “a jerk.”
WHAT THE HELPS SAY ABOUT HIM
Jim Mattis called it ‘dangerous’ and ‘inappropriate’, went to pray at the Washington National Cathedral, left the government because it was ‘basically aimed at doing something that I thought went beyond a stupid to a stupid felony’ in reference to withdraw troops from Syria, and suggested ‘collective action’ after leaving.
Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, had “deep suspicions” that Putin had something on him and “couldn’t get rid of them.”
Dr. Tony Fauci called his leadership ‘rudderless’, his attention span ‘as a negative number’ and said: ‘Your sole purpose is to be re-elected.’
Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, said Alice in Wonderland is the key for Trump, saying, ‘If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.
RACIAL RELATIONS
Trump described the term ‘white privilege’ as ‘drinking the Kool-Aid’ and repeated his claim that he had done more for black Americans than Lincoln, adding: ‘And I honestly don’t feel any love.’
NUCLEAR SECRETS
Trump used his private cell phone for late-night calls and revealed that he had a ‘weapon system’ that Putin and Xi were unaware of.
