Reporter Bob Woodward's releasing the audio of previous interviews with former President Donald Trump for his 2020 book, Rage. Woodward's commentary revealed a lack of respect, disdain, and hyperbolic sensationalism about "the dangers" of Trump. It was a sensationalized opinion from a savvy journalist intent on advancing a political agenda.

During the conversation, Woodward discussed with Trump the infamous phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which led to his first impeachment. His reaction, though, was particularly telling. First, he lamented that Trump wouldn't concede to any wrongdoing, which is clearly the first time a sitting president ever did that. Then, he portrayed Trump in every negative light possible. While speaking with host Wolf Blitzer, he never gave Trump any credit for any accomplishment and didn't have one positive thing to say about his presidency. Everything Trump said or did, according to Woodward, was delusional narcissism.

"I spent 15 minutes interrogating him down in Mar-a-Lago, and he would just not give. He would avoid the plain language of that call," Woodward said.

Interrogate? Since when do journalists interrogate people they are interviewing, let alone former presidents? It was a pompous comment and reflective of Woodward's overvalued opinion of himself. This was an agenda-driven hit piece, not an objective interview. It's clear there wasn't any impartiality.



Comment:
Woodward's antipathy for Republicans is not actually about policies and issues, it is the Left's ancient cultural loathing of Republican voters, and it always has been.
Obama and Hillary and Pelosi couldn't find any real dirt on Trump, so they had to invent their crazy Russian Collusion Conspiracy.
They illegally used the DOJ and FBI as their political weapons to frame Trump just like banana republic juntas do to their opponents
They impeached President Trump for asking questions about Joe Biden's influence peddling crimes in the Ukraine.
Then they impeached Trump again with their crazy Insurrection Conspiracy.
Trump is squeaky clean compared to Obama, Hillary and Pelosi.
Republicans should never trust Woodward to do a fair interview.
Bush made the same mistake as Trump did when he thought that Woodward would be fair.
Woodward is just a political hack.
 
Do you doubt what Trump said? Which by the way, was never mentioned in the article all it was was an attack against Bob. In fact, I am surprised I didn't read: sieg heil mein fuhrer Trump at the end of the diatribe.

There is nothing that he can say or do, and nothing that anyone record and play, that will sway them.

We'll see if he ever tests that theory of his, about "shooting someone on Fifth Avenue". Then we'll see. But I'd still doubt it. They would say it was self defense and that HE was the victim.

The victim mentality has never been stronger in the history of mankind than in the aggrieved snowflake MAGA movement
