The Twit tweets: "Bob Woodward had my quotes for many months. If he thought they were so bad..."

Bob Woodward had my quotes for many months. If he thought they were so bad or dangerous, why didn’t he immediately report them in an effort to save lives? Didn’t he have an obligation to do so? No, because he knew they were good and proper answers. Calm, no panic!

But it is. It's Woodward's fault I killed people because he should have stopped me from killing people earlier? LOL!!!

And people are talking about his books for days and it boosts his book sales (which is exactly what's happening right now)

for being an irresponsible liar, a pathetic incompetent, an unabashed narcissistic who doesn't give a damn about how many Americans are dying just as long as he and his clan can continue to milk the taxpayers to enrich themselves.

And it certainly doesn't excuse the cowards in the Senate who might have stopped all this, had they done their jobs and honored the oaths they took to defend the Constitution.

Woodward wasn't in charge of the federal government. Trump was and is. This disaster happened on his watch, and despite what he says he and his enablers are responsible.

If so, and with a public uproar (one can hope!), maybe SOME Republican Senators would have hesitated just a bit before voting no on impeachment.

in anticipation of the pandemic...they knew and it was incumbent upon the senate to rid us of Trump...the need to pack the courts with incompetent right wing nobodies and their tax breaks for the ultra wealthy..all center stage and more important than the health and safety of their own constituents..this is on Trump and his sycophants...all of it...

as President of the United States...NOT Woodward.

Just like Bolton, Woodward could have stepped up to the microphone with those tapes in Feb. and saved lives, and. been a patriot and a hero-(and THAT would have been a great book), but he chose to save his book deal. Another money grubber, but you... sir...are a monster. ALL OF THIS IS ON YOU.

What good would it have done? As long as we have a Senate that will run cover for this criminal, nothing will change. This interview would have been long forgotten by now. Don’t let the evil creature try to put blame on Woodward. Woodward’s book will have its biggest impact right now, just before the election.

It's always someone else's problem or mistake or responsibility.

Woodward will collect at least a dollar for every person who dies of COVID. And this isn't hurting Trump since his minions will believe nothing bad said about Trump, even when said by Trump.

So, win-win.
