Bob Woodward's 'FEAR'. Trump unfit for office
- Thread starter TRS
- Start date
"White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly frequently lost his temper and told colleagues that he thought the president was “unhinged,” Woodward writes. In one small group meeting, Kelly said of Trump: “He’s an idiot. It’s pointless to try to convince him of anything. He’s gone off the rails. We’re in Crazytown. I don’t even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I’ve ever had.”"
Is Kelly still in? So many, hard to keep track of guess but I not for long then.

Good for you to give the old team cheer for your TDS turds.
He's been a placeholder for months now. Just to keep the appearance that they got their shit together due to the massive turnover.
- "This guy is mentally retarded. He's this dumb Southerner," Trump told Rob Porter, the White House staff secretary who later quit amid domestic violence allegations. Trump then did an unflattering impression of Sessions' Alabama accent, making fun of Sessions' shaky performance at his confirmation hearings.
- Trump privately told Porter: "How in the world was I ever persuaded to pick him for my attorney general? He couldn't even be a one-person country lawyer down in Alabama. What business does he have being attorney general?"
- Trump once called Sessions an "idiot" to his face during an Oval Office meeting, Woodward reports. Not long after that, Sessions submitted a resignation letter to the White House, but Trump's senior aides persuaded him not to accept it.
- The book says Trump vented to an aide that Sessions' decision to recuse himself from the Russia probe was "the ultimate betrayal" and called him a "traitor."
- Then-White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told Sessions in summer 2017 that Trump was attacking him to create a distraction -- because Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner was about to testify on Capitol Hill about Russia. Bannon reportedly said, "when Jared finishes testifying, if they think it's good testimony, he'll stop tweeting."
“Let’s f****** kill him! Let’s go in. Let’s kill the f****** lot of them,” the Post writes that Trump said after Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a chemical attack on his own citizens in April 2017. According to Woodward's account as reported by the Post, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told Trump that he would move forward on assassinating Assad. Immediately after he got off the phone with the president, though, Mattis told an aide that “We’re not going to do any of that. We’re going to be much more measured.”
