Same story Bob told in fall:

“The White House that emerges from more than 400 pages of Mr. Mueller’s report is a hotbed of conflict infused by a culture of dishonesty — defined by a president who lies to the public and his own staff, then tries to get his aides to lie for him.”https://t.co/yCzsYO6BM7

I agree, it is interesting, especially on Russia, he says some young reporter like he was needs to go get the story in Russia, but that they will also probably be risking their life. It's mostly meta on journalism but that is also interesting:

This is the best Woodward interview I’ve read since the new book was released. https://t.co/GUjqbvbNCg

David Ignatius: What a baby

@ WashingtonPost.com, Sept. 11

Only a man who is deeply worried about his own strength would talk as much as Donald Trump does about the danger of appearing weak.

That’s my biggest takeaway from reading “Fear,” Bob Woodward’s new book about the Trump presidency. The scoops were mostly revealed last week. What’s fresh is Trump’s repeated, obsessive talk about weakness during his first year in office.

Woodward’s recounting of Trump’s conversations is a study in character, or lack of it. The president’s vanity, pettiness and meanness of spirit were evident already in his tweets and public statements. But here is the annotated version, as told to Woodward by Trump’s aides, replete with enough F-bombs to stock an arsenal of profanity.

When Trump is on the verge of doing something conciliatory — apologizing for a racist or sexist comment, for example — he stops himself for fear that it will show weakness. Trump (prodded by his Iago-like deputy macho man, Stephen K. Bannon) keeps insisting that he must stay strong, regardless of how unprincipled it may seem [....]

Woodward: "One key person who's in office called me and said 'Everyone knows what you said here is true. It's 1,000% correct.' And then this person has said some public things that contradict that. And I'm not happy, but I have a smile on my face." https://t.co/wh6SgdDfjQ

but they were creating the whole new war room thing, where experts were paid to spin and Woodward's to deconstruct it and there was no tweeting. (I'm so old that ~~I used to walk to school in a snowstorm~~ sometimes I used to walk 10 blocks just to get a print WaPo to have an alternate analysis from the NYTimes....)

Edit to add: Some day before he dies I hope Begala will apologize for helping create Kelly Ann Conway, however tangenitally.
