The Woodward Book - Part 2 - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

There are always critical books on Presidents during their terms, even the great Reagan had a few at the end of his term, the trick is to show success on the domestic and international front.  The US economy under Trump is blazing away, on the international front the US is talking to North Korea, even through it can be argued that North Korea has conned the Trump Oval, as it has done with past Presidents.   On Iran the US has increased sanctions, we shall see what develops from this move, on trade the Trump Oval has done a deal with Mexico, Canada is still in discussions.  It would be foolish to write off Trump yet, politics is an art not a science. 

The Press Establishment vs. Trump - Woodward vs Trump - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

As the articles notes, Woodward is part of the press Establishment, has produce books on every administration since Nixon.  The liberal press will love the book, it sounds very negative on Trump.   One finds it hard to defend Trump, all the negatives and his debasing of the Presidency, make him unfit to be POTUS.   One can only hope that Democrats take over the House in November and push to impeach Trump, the US would be better off and so would the World.

The Trump Book that has been waited for - Bob Woodward - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

It is the book we have been waiting for, Bob Woodward's inside account of the Trump White House.  It comes out on September 11, this blogger wil place an order at its local book store. One wonders what juicy information the famed Watergate reporter has found, how loyal have the White House staff been to Trump.  POTUS might find not all PR is good, Woodward is a respected reporter, part of the old press elite.  When news was news.
