What is a Bob Woodward book? Fear, Bob Woodward’s first book on the Trump administration, released in September 2018. I’ve now read the full book, so here’s a guide to its revelations and the controversies surrounding it. Widespread outrage ensued - some aimed at Trump, some aimed at Woodward himself for not publishing this apparently newsworthy material months ago. Woodward taped these comments from Trump, and CNN published excerpts of the tapes in the lead-up to the September 15 release of the new book, Rage. Then, as the virus ravaged New York City in mid-March, Trump told Woodward that he had wanted to “play it down.” In early February, Trump privately told Woodward that the new coronavirus was “more deadly” than the flu, and that it “goes through air” - as he was publicly suggesting that the virus was similar to the flu. This time around, though, the headline-grabbing news isn’t from highly placed anonymous sources, but rather from comments that President Donald Trump made to Woodward, on the record, over the course of 18 interviews.
It’s a Washington tradition for a presidential administration to be roiled by a new book from legendary journalist Bob Woodward.
