There are some explosive anecdotes in Woodward's book on Trump's first 18 months in office.

Please scroll down the thread to review. #Fear #FearBook
Add...
Woodward P. 56-58 Gary Cohn said interest rates would go up. Trump said, "We should just go borrow a lot of money right now, hold it, and then sell it and make money." Cohn was astounded.

Trump kept saying, "We'll just borrow," enamored that they could at the lowest rate.
Add...
Woodward P. 58 Trump said he wanted Gary Cohn to work for him, mentioned deputy secretary of defense. Cohn said no.

Trump said, How about director of national intelligence? Cohn didn't even no what the job required.

Trump then offered Sec of Energy. Cohn said no again.
Add...
Woodward P. 68 Trump told intel leaders, "I don't believe in human sources."

"These are people who sold their souls & sold out their country."

Brennan, CIA chief at the time, said he wouldn't tell that to his employees, whose work relies almost entirely on human sources.
Add...
Woodward P. 69 Trump, after being told about the Steele dossier, later told his attorney about the alleged prostitutes in Moscow.

Trump said, "I've got enough problems with Melania, girlfriends and all that. I don't need anymore. I can't have Melania hearing about that."
Add...
Woodward P. 77 Trump once lashed out at McCain suggesting he took the coward's way out of Vietnam, being offered and taking early POW release.

"No. Mr President," Jim Mattis said. "I think you've got it reversed." He explained the reality. Trump just replied, "Oh, okay."
Add...
Woodward P. 175 Trump advice to a friend who acknowledged bad behavior toward women.

"You've got to deny, deny, deny & push back on these women," Trump said. "If you admit to anything & any culpability, then you're dead...You've got to deny anything said about you."
Add...
Woodward P. 207 At G20 in Hamburg, Trump invited then-Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull into his SCIF—in violation of security rules. It was an absolute rule, intended to prevent someone planting listening devices.

The facility, a large steel room, had to be torn down after.
Add...
Woodward P. 226 A Sr. official summarized a Trump meeting: "It seems clear that many of the president's senior advisers...are extremely concerned with his erratic nature, his relative ignorance, his inability to learn, as well as what they consider his dangerous views."
Add...
Woodward P. 230 McMaster wanted Trump to sign an order re: Libya. He wouldn't.

Trump said US should be getting oil. The generals aren't sufficiently focused on getting or making money. They don't understand our objectives. They have the U.S. engaged in all the wrong ways.
Add...
Woodward P. 231 Trump would seek opinions from anyone around him. Cabinet officials or security guards.

He once asked his 27-year old body man, Johnny McEntee, if he should send more troops to Afghanistan.

"It doesn't make any sense to me," McEntee said.
Add...
Woodward P. 263 "The president's unhinged," John Kelly once said. Kelly saw Oval Office business and decision-making as becoming increasingly haphazard.

"[Trump] just really doesn't understand anything about that. He doesn't know what he's talking about," Kelly said.
Add...
Woodward P. 269 Trump was so outraged by Mueller that he was described as needing time "to vent & sort of emotionally stabilize himself."

"We barely got by the last time it happened," Porter said. "It could be even worse than before." He suggested a plan to handle Trump.
Add...
"It's difficult to rationally argue that the book could be both: fiction dreamed up by Woodward, and a betrayal by former top stewards of the administration, who shared...alarming details about how the WH functions.

"But it's not hard for Trump."

Woodward P. 301 Trump wanted to send a tweet declaring that he was ordering all US military dependents —thousands of family members of 28,500 troops— out of South Korea.

The tweet would've been read by North Korea as a preparation for war. The tweet did not go out.
Add...
Woodward P. 310 Trump wanted minerals from Afghanistan.

"We need to get a company in there," Trump said. "Why aren't we in there taking it?"

Asked who 'we' was, Trump said, "We should just be in there," as if there were a national mining company to move into Afghanistan.
