book review

Fear: Trump in the White House by Bob Woodward

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Having read "Fire and Fury" and "A Higher Loyalty"... this gives an even deeper look but very much supports what the other two books said. Which I expected nothing less from Bob Woodward.

All three books, this one especially makes me want to both scream in rage AND bury my head in the sand. I've almost become numb to the level of incompetence, incivility, ineptitude and just plain lack of empathy that is now found in the Oval Office.

Before reading the book I wondered about the title. But having now read it... I understand. According to Woodward the main theme of the Trump Presidency and thinking is "the real power is Fear". And he has it.

I am terrified over what can and most likely will happen over the next 2 years of this term... pray that a second term does not happen. Because if what is said in this book is even 25% true... we are so totally and completely screwed.
