Bob Woodward: Trump's aides stole his papers 'to protect the country'
CNN ^ | 9/4/2018 | Jeremy Herb, Jamie Gangel and Dan Merica,

Posted on 09/04/2018 9:02:12 AM PDT by Signalman

President Donald Trump's closest aides have taken extraordinary measures in the White House to try to stop what they saw as his most dangerous impulses, going so far as to swipe and hide papers from his desk so he wouldn't sign them, according to a new book from legendary journalist Bob Woodward.

Woodward's 448-page book, "Fear: Trump in the White House," provides an unprecedented inside-the-room look through the eyes of the President's inner circle. From the Oval Office to the Situation Room to the White House residence, Woodward uses confidential background interviews to illustrate how some of the President's top advisers view him as a danger to national security and have sought to circumvent the commander in chief.

Many of the feuds and daily clashes have been well documented, but the picture painted by Trump's confidants, senior staff and Cabinet officials reveal that many of them see an even more alarming situation — worse than previously known or understood. Woodward offers a devastating portrait of a dysfunctional Trump White House, detailing how senior aides — both current and former Trump administration officials — grew exasperated with the President and increasingly worried about his erratic behavior, ignorance and penchant for lying.

Is this the same guy from the “woodward and bernstein” team that just admitted to lying about Trump?

Or is it the other one?

Erratic behaviour and penchant for lying-— ????

These are, from an informed operational point of view— PERFECT attributes for a Commander in Chief. that is to say- the under staff are to do what they are told. And NOT be telling what they have been told to do. To anyone.

this book is a farce— If the sources can’t be quoted— it is just made up crapola, from a “who the hell is this” last gasp writer of “nothing-gate”

Read Greg Jarrett’s book— it makes “all the president’s men” BS non- book look like a doily lacing circle. obamamao crimes against US citizens.

Just which “staffers” blabbed anything of this nature? Spill it woodward— you’ve written another “Wolff” tell all that isn’t.
