Trumps Calls Secretary Of Justice Sessions Mentally slow And Dumb Southerner by vedaxcool(m): 6:39pm On Sep 04, 2018
instances of conflict between the president and his staff and paints the picture of a dysfunctional White House full of "predators," in the words of former chief of staff Reince Priebus.

Trump and aides bad-mouthed one another often, according to The Washington Post, which obtained a copy of the book, titled "Fear: Trump in the White House."
Trump mocked Attorney General Jeff Sessions's accent and described him to a staffer as "mentally retarded" and a "dumb Southerner."

The president told Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, “I don’t trust you. I don’t want you doing any more negotiations."

Trump suggested former national security adviser H.R. McMaster dressed "like a beer salesman" and called Priebus "a little rat."

Current chief of staff John Kelly is said to have called Trump "unhinged" and an "idiot."

The White House, which has been bracing for the publication of Woodward's book, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on its claims.

Woodward’s book, which is set for a Sept. 11 release, is based on hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, meeting notes, personal diaries, files and documents.

He unsuccessfully attempted to interview the president for the book, The Washington Post reported. Trump contacted Woodward last month, after the manuscript was finished, to offer to participate.

The book could roil the White House just as it seems to have moved on from questions raised in a book by former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman.


Manigault Newman, who was fired from the Trump administration in December, grabbed the spotlight last month with her book, “Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House.” In the book, she claimed Trump is a racist who is mentally declining.

She later released recordings of conversations with Trump and Kelly, as well as a tape that indicated she was offered $15,000 a month to work on the Trump reelection campaign after she was fired.

But the Woodward books threatens to be even more problematic given the journalist's standing. Woodward has written a series of investigative books about previous administrations, a number of which have become best-sellers.

He writes that the executive branch under Trump experienced a “nervous breakdown,” with top staffers snatching papers off of Trump’s desk so he couldn’t see them.

Snippets published in the Post, where Woodward is an associate editor, describe aides attempting to push back against the president’s impulses, with Trump engrossed with paranoia over special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference.

White House staffers compared to the president's paranoia about Mueller's investigation into Russian interference to former President Richard Nixon's last days in the White House.

The Post's story was published just as Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, sat down for the first day of what is expected to be a highly contentious confirmation hearing.

It comes months before the midterm elections, which are looking increasingly dicey for Republicans, at least in the House.

Two new polls released this week have shown Democrats with a healthy lead on the generic House ballot.

Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein are the two journalists who broke the Watergate scandal that led to Dick Nixon resignation. They are both credible investigative journalists and wait till Trampy starts calling Bob Woodward all kind of names.
