Donald Trump caught privately wishing he’d sided more thoroughly with white supremacists
Bob Woodward already teamed with Carl Bernstein decades ago to help take down Richard Nixon. Now, Woodward has penned an insider book that could end up being one of the final nails in Donald Trump’s presidency. The details of his still-unreleased book are surfacing today, and let’s just say that things are even uglier inside Trump’s White House – and inside Trump’s deranged mind – than we thought.
Most of today’s headlines about the book are about the fact that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly thinks Donald Trump is an “idiot” from “Crazyland” and that Secretary of Defense James Mattis thinks Trump is a “sixth grader” who’s going to start “World War III.” But if you dig a little deeper into the advance text, it turns out Trump isn’t merely stupid and mentally unstable; he’s also even more of a white supremacist sympathizer than he’s publicly let on.
Back when Donald Trump publicly claimed in a speech that there were good people and people to blame on “both sides” of the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, mainstream America ate him alive for the remark. Amid mounting pressure from all sides, he backed down and publicly admitted the the neo-Nazis and the white supremacists were to blame. In reality, if Trump hadn’t backed down, he probably wouldn’t still be president. But according to Woodward’s book, Trump sees it in the opposite way.
Bob Woodward says that Donald Trump viewed his belated condemnation of white supremacists as “the biggest fucking mistake I’ve made.” That’s right, Trump wishes he had continued siding with white supremacists, even after they murdered Heather Heyer at their rally.
