But being a clueless buffoon is part of his reality, not his brand. For people who think he's playing 12th-dimensional chess, the idea that the Deep State is outmaneuvering him by hiding things and hoping he forgets about them might shake their confidence a little.
No. I think his skill in lying to himself overruns any concerns that pop up. He is thoroughly taken with himself. It's a va-va-vhoom situation every time that man looks at himself in the mirror.I'm not surprised that all this stuff happened or that there's a book about it. I'm just surprised that it's come out before he left office. I'm guessing that the auther was worried about competition from the shear number of books exploring how incompetent Trump is that'll be released when he leaves office!
Do you think Trump ever worries about what history will think of him?
There will be plenty of outrage and calls for the DoJ to prosecute deep state operatives such as Gen. Kelly and Gary Cohn for subverting the Presidency.It'll be cute when the resident Trump fans show up after Hannity and Daily Caller tell them what to think... they'll probably try to lie about Woodward's credibility or take Trump's lies about contact at face value.

That's exactly what I said after reading it.Holy shit you all gotta see the phone call transcript between Trump and Woodward.
Can you say batshit?

Nope. That part rolled right off of me.Is anyone (apart from Trump supporters) surprised that a closet white supremacist would regret condemning white supremacists?
They already have dismissed it. Seriously, they are just awaiting their talking points.This excerpt from the book is disturbing - Significant foreign policy initiatives--including a withdrawal from a trade pact with South Korea, and a 2017 withdrawal from NAFTA - were thwarted by the expedient of cabinet members pilfering the relevant documents from the president's desk before he signed them, and the president forgetting that he hadn't signed them.
And this - After Trump said “both sides” at the Charlottesville white supremacist rally were to blame for the violence that occurred in August 2017,advisers urged him to make another speech condemning white supremacists and neo-Nazis. According to Woodward, he almost immediately told aides, “That was the biggest fucking mistake I’ve made” and the “worst speech I’ve ever given.”
Shitty insults to people is part of his brand. I doubt many Southerners will be shocked or all that upset by the fact that he sometimes insults someone by calling them a "dumb Southerner."

Or it might not, because whatever else you might say about the True Believers, you can't fault them for a lack of confidence. Their leader is an archetypal confidence man. Trump's fervent supporters have become fact-resistant humans. and at this point, they're so deep in their adoration for him that nothing is going to sway them. I have no doubt that Trump or his proxies will shortly issue statements accusing Woodward of being complicit in the whole "rigged witch hunt," and Trump's supporters will dismiss anything in Woodward's book out of hand.
I'm confident this path is already being formulated and spoon fed to Trump.There will be plenty of outrage and calls for the DoJ to prosecute deep state operatives such as Gen. Kelly and Gary Cohn for subverting the Presidency.
Gets better. Woodward got such complete access against the Presidents advisers advice, because Woodward said nice things about Trump and wanted to document this historic White House.
Trump likely insists don't you think?They fell for this again?

I'm wondering if Trump will actually go after his own people for their actions to "protect the country". He's fine with making himself look like a fool but he becomes psychotic when he thinks others are making him look like a fool. It would be quite a thing to see tweets asking anyone with the power to do so to investigate and arrest anyone who hid things and stole things from his desk. I'm thinking he's actually going to want to revisit the South Korean deal now that the information is out that the papers were removed from his desk.
Oh I'm not opposed to addressing these issues. I'm opposed to Trump being at the helm while addressing them.This idea kinda scares me but at the same time could end up leading to a solution to the Korean issue. South Korea already has established good relations with China, through their numerous trade deals, these same deals have been leading China to question their continued support of the North Korean regime. Trump pursuing this with the South will push the South further towards China because the Koreans and Chinese have a great mistrust of the Japanese. With the US withdrawn from the Korean peninsula, China would most likely let the North fail or force it to collapse and help with the cost of reunification which I'm sure the politicians in the South would agree to.
