Donald Trump Lashes Out: Bob Woodward's Book Is a 'Scam,' These Quotes Are Made Up'

Source: Mediate

Oh look, he’s doing it again.

Donald Trump got on the presidential Twitter machine again today in order to declare that Bob Woodward‘s book on his administration is a “scam” and full of fabrication.




Throughout the week, the White House has faced dozens of question about the book, refuting the allegations that Trump regularly goes on enraged tangents with his staff as they frantically try to contain his chaotic tendencies. Woodward’s book was based on numerous first-hand sources, documents and administrative memorandums, and it was corroborated even further by the anonymous Trump official who penned an op-ed for New York Times about an inner-government “resistance” to stop Trump from acting upon his worst impulses.

The anonymous senior staff member, Omarosa, etc. Oh and both Woodward and Omarosa taped pretty much everything.

The only people who continue to believe the BS & LIES that Trump and the GOP enablers tell are fools and tools.

Once again... Innocent people don't act like this.

It has to be enough that his reputation precedes him and we can believe what he writes is backed up by facts.

Woodward book is Gospel.
I talk like a complete dumbass.
Quotes are 100% accurate.
Any demeaning and belittling are justly deserved.
Nobody look at the truth.
Our country is becoming a Shithole, just as my boss told me to do.

What really worries me is that this orange baboon is watching too much TV, playing too much golf, reading too many porn magazines and so forth to really do the job of the president effectively. What does it take to (1) get the cabinet members to do a 25th amendment thing or (2) Congress to impeach him?

Every day this guy is in there is damaging the country...this is a national security issue...

15. My favorite part of the Rump phone call to Woodward:
Fri Sep 7, 2018, 06:39 PM
Sep 2018

Rump: But are you naming names? Or do you just say sources?

BW: Yeah, well, it names real incidents, so . ..

Rump: No, but do you name sources? I mean, are you naming the people, or just say, people have said?


The most hilarious part was where the sphincter volcano caught himself saying 'do you just say 'people (pause) have said?' ' How he put the pause in between 'people' and 'have said', because he could hear himself in the moment saying the words 'people have said', and realizes he's saying one of his favorite all time catchphrases, that he reflexively barfs out over and over again -- except this time he's not saying it to 'prove' something, but instead as an accusation against Woodward, to 'disprove' something.

He was just about to torpedo his favorite 'proof' catchphrase. Just about to say that every one of the million times he said 'people have said', he was lying.

"The million times that I said 'people are saying', that was me offering proof, every time. The one time Woodward said it, it proves he is a liar."

when other people get a say, his popularity drops. when he's the only one with the talking stick, he wins and wins and wins even when he's losing.

when someone writes an unflattering book about him, his job is to lash out until he's sufficiently puffed up again. then he can go back to golfing with a calm mind.

I have not read anything about this creep suing the people writing this story? Therefore the story must be true! He has sued his whole life and now when he can make millions suing, but he does not sue. He is a big cry baby and I wonder about the people who voted for this NUT??? They must be cry babies to have supported their hero non stop..........
