Author: Bob Woodward
I’m pretty sure this was the first time I ever picked up a new book anticipating a depressing reading experience.
That’s because, like many Americans, I watched the election results of Nov. 9, 2016 with amazement and horror. I saw my country go insane. In the months and years since Trump’s inauguration, I’ve seen a narcissist, often paranoid president looking at the world through Trump-colored glasses. Policy wise, it’s been clear he has protectionist, populist, and nationalist views. It’s been clear he operates on the fly, often responding emotionally to any perceived threats or attacks. He’ll lie at the drop of a hat.

Till then, I think Bob Woodward has built up enough of a record that give him serious credibility and trust. Also, the book is a straight-forward bare-bones narrative of information with little obvious editorial postulating, although it’s clear who he thinks are the heroes and who are the villains.
My one hope is that Trump supporters will take the time to read this tome and not respond like the Morgan County Library in West Virginia which has refused to shelf the book. On what grounds? No one is saying.
