I feel like the president had a dream last night about Bob Woodward's book: |
| This morning, President Trump has been tweeting about veteran journalist Bob Woodward's upcoming book, vowing to write his own version of the events it covers. http://bit.ly/2NycPlO Trump tweeted: "The Woodward book is a Joke -- just another assault against me, in a barrage of assaults, using now disproven unnamed and anonymous sources. Many have already come forward to say the quotes by them, like the book, are fiction. Dems can't stand losing. I'll write the real book!" Stepping back -- this morning: "Trump has tweeted direct attacks at the Woodward book twice in less than 30 minutes and sent another tweet that's almost certainly in response to the book. Woodward really seems to have gotten under Trump's skin." http://bit.ly/2x1QXVU |
