I hereby declare my implicit trust in the veracity of a book that’s about to hit the shelves across the nation.<\/p>\n

Bob Woodward has written a tell-all book titled “Fear” that details what others have said, have written that Donald J. Trump is a threat to the nation’s security.<\/p>\n

Imagine that. I never thought in a million years I would be concurring with such an assertion about the president of the United States of America.<\/em><\/p>\n

My bigger point, though, is that Woodward’s work has become legendary in the world of print journalism. The man is known as a meticulous gatherer of information. He uses multiple sources before putting something into print. He takes contemporaneous notes. He makes recordings.<\/p>\n

And yet, we hear from the White House — including from the president — that Woodward, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, is making things up.<\/p>\n

This man built his entire reputation on a record of accuracy and credibility.<\/p>\n

I remain steadfast in my belief that he is telling us the truth about the White House in a state of near panic. Chief staff members cannot conceive of a president being so unaware<\/em>, so non-inquisitive<\/em>, so uncaring<\/em> about the details of foreign or domestic policy.<\/p>\n

Think, too, about the idea that the president would blurt out some idiotic notion of assassinating the leader of a sovereign nation, which is what he reportedly did regarding Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad.<\/p>\n

Perhaps most shocking is that Donald “Stable Genius” Trump had to ask why the United States maintains a military presence in South Korea, to which Defense Secretary James Mattis reminded him that the U.S. forces are there to “prevent World War III.” <\/em><\/p>\n

Frightening … in the extreme!<\/p>\n\n
