Woodward’s Book: What Does It Really Say?

Many Trump detractors find Bob Woodward’s new book exciting to read. It verifies all the things they have come to believe about Donald Trump: He is erratic, petulant, vindictive, dictatorial, a liar, a thief, a womanizer, a racist, sexist, homophobe and a xenophobe too. On top of that he is not smart or sophisticated enough to be President. He doesn’t understand the issues and must constantly be prevented from taking actions that could plunge America into war, depression, and worse. On the other hand a second view of the Woodward screed is that as President Donald Trump has relied on the expertise of many people in the Administrative bureaucracy. Many of them oppose his policies because they disrupt the system. His response has not been to fire them, but to hear and consider their points of view. If the White House seems chaotic it is because it is. The administration is barraged daily by bureaucrats, lobbyists, legislators and citizens trying to get a word in edgewise. In addition, this White House has the additional pressure of a rebelling bureaucracy, a special counsel, and a hostile press, all working as arms of the Democrat Party to impeach or remove the President from office. What Bob Woodward’ book really shows is that Donald J. Trump is fighting an out of control bureaucracy willing to do anything to take him out. In partnership with the media they attack him, his family, his allies and his supporters on a daily basis. They are trying to sabotage his agenda and resist the change he is trying to bring. Woodward’s book exposes the swampers and their attempt to compromise this President, and demonstrates that Trump is the right man at the right time; drain the swamp.
