Very telling transcript from Bob Woodward..

[Roland99]

BW: Well, I talked to Raj [Shah] about it. I talked to . . . I talked to Kellyanne.

Trump: Well, a lot of them are afraid to come and talk, or — you know, they are busy. I’m busy.

Yeah. Freudian slip? I’m sure many were afraid to talk to him on any subject where we could erupt at any moment.

And again later...

Trump: But you never called for me. It would’ve been nice, Bob, if you called for me, in my office. I mean, I have a secretary. I have two, three secretaries. If you would’ve called directly — a lot of people are afraid . . . Raj, I hardly have . . . I don’t speak to Raj.

People are afraid to approach him? Hostile work environment?

Can you imagine this happening in the Obama WH? I can’t!

1. I expect he was lying

and so was Kellyanne.

2. WH staff clearly didn't want Trump to talk to Woodward

just like Trump's lawyers don't want him to talk to Mueller. They knew that he'd say all sorts of crazy and incriminating things to the reporter who helped take down Nixon so they never passed Woodward's request to Trump because they knew he'd do it. Trump never misses a chance to talk about himself and Woodward would be a big get, but when he talks about himself he says things he shouldn't say.

3. I going to have to add this book to my reading list. nt

4. Trump won't talk to his own Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah?

Why? He's another brown skinned man whose parents were immigrants from India, but that probably has nothing to do with it.

5. And in that,there is another true story about Trumps true

character.
