Sadly, this is just another one of those death by a thousand cuts-style attacks.
To most anyone with an iota of intelligence, Bob Woodward should be shunned for his lack of journalistic integrity, etc. But Woodward is still held in some level of esteem by those out there who will remembers him as the guy who “exposed” Nixon.
Is this killing blow to the campaign? No but it’s another one of those incidents where the White House will have to go on the defensive so as to stymie as much bad press as they can.
I’m certainly not saying that trump did but I really really hope he didn’t have any kind of phone conversation with a guy like bob Woodward. Nothing good can come from a call like that.
It won’t make any difference - true or not. None of Trump’s supporters would believe Bob Bernstein if he said, “Good Morning!” None of the Trump haters will vote against Trump just because of this story.
As usual, Bernstein is woefully irrelevant and he is the only one who can’t see it. Even his “friends” in the Fake Media are laughing up their sleeves at this.
Um, you do realize that there are reportedly NINE HOURS of taped conversations?
There are already excerpts from the tapes that have been released. And unfortunately, Trump DID SAY what Woodward is alleging he said.
We need to quit downplaying everything that we disagree with or don't like hearing. This makes "grab 'em by the p*ssy" look like a minor infraction by comparison. He admits, in his own voice and in his own words ON TAPE, that he knew very early on (Jan/early Feb) what the risk was (it's airborne, doesn't affect "just the elderly", is >5X more deadly than the flu, etc) and chose to "downplay" it vs. being straight with the American people so that they could be informed and act accordingly. And with 6.3M+ cases and 190,000 deaths, the left and the MSM (albeit the same thing) will hang him with it - and it's going to be really, REALLY difficult for that not to stick all the way through the election.
I know many Freepers will disagree, but this is a big freaking deal, and outside of FR will have a massively huge impact on the election - and one that's not in our favor..
PS - anyone who cares to can easily go listen to the excerpts of Trump talking to Woodward. It's incomprehensible that he chose not only to talk to him, but to say what he did say. UGH!
