quote [ A central theme of the book is the stealthy machinations used by those in Trump?s inner sanctum to try to control his impulses and prevent disasters, both for the president personally and for the nation he was elected to lead.
Woodward describes ?an administrative coup d?etat? and a ?nervous breakdown? of the executive branch, with senior aides conspiring to pluck official papers from the president?s desk so he couldn?t see or sign them. ] This is as bad as I had thought. Time for somebody to bring up the 25th amendment. No wonder Trump has been peevish lately he had somebody read to him from his advance copy.
Trump called Attorney Jeff Sessions a 'traitor,' and said 'Everybody's trying to get me,' according to an explosive new Bob Woodward book
And the president once phoned Defense Secretary James Mattis to say "Let's f---ing kill him" after Syrian leader Bashar Assad launched a chemical attack on civilians, according to the book. "Let's go in. Let's kill the f---king lot of them," With each passing day this gets worse... Brian Klaas ?Verified account @brianklaas Brian Klaas Retweeted Donald J. Trump No exaggeration: if any other elected leader in a Western democracy tried to instruct their top law enforcement official to shield their political allies from prosecution for political reasons like this, they would be forced to resign within hours. This is insane. Donald J. Trump ?Verified account @realDonaldTrump Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff...... and just in case you doubted this has a real world consequences here is something that happened a few weeks ago that could of gotten drowned out in the Trump daily crises The US officially re-launched the US Navy's Cold War-era Second Fleet Friday, a move that comes amid renewed concern over the threat posed by Russia. "US Second Fleet has a storied history, and we will honor that legacy," Vice Adm. Andrew "Woody" Lewis, who took command of the fleet Friday, said during a ceremony marking the fleet's re-launch in Norfolk, Virginia. Lewis said his goal was to "build a fleet that is ready to fight. Ready to fight so we don't have to." US Navy re-launches Cold War era fleet with an eye on Russia

This is Woodward. Look up his bio- he is one of the most respected political authors in the States, and the prime contributor to TWO Pulitzers for the Washington Post.
This is the author of "All The President's Men" (Robert Redford in the movie, for those of you who don't read). This is the journalist who spent the most time with W after 9/11, and covered his presidency extensively.
This is NOT a kook with a grudge, or a fool with some info.
This is a big fish, a Republican who covers Republicans in a positive light- this man believed it when he was told that Iraq had WMDs, and he later feuded with the Obama administration.
In short, this is about the most respected political writer Republicans can bring forth....... and he just told the world that Trump is clearly unfit for office, and that his aides are hiding things from him in the interest of National Security.

In short, this is about the most respected political writer Republicans can bring forth....... and he just told the world that (amongst other things) Trump is clearly unfit for office in the eyes of both the Republican party and HIS OWN STAFF, and that his aides are hiding things from him in the interest of National Security, so that shit doesn't REALLY go sideways.
This is your America.
