Woodward's last book came out about 2 years ago and Chump never agreed to any interviews. (Chump was angry when the book came out, but he knew it was his own fault.)

So this time, Chump agreed to the deal. He even knew that his conversation was being taped, and he agreed to that. Whatever he said on tape is news/public domain. Woodward knows how to get access and make it worth his while.

This is not a hit job, Chump knew all of this in advance. He's just a very stupid, arrogant man.

Trump was calling Woodward! He was seeking out Woodward and listening to the interview sounds like that orange egomaniac thought he could con Woodward so that an esteem journalist would be on his side.

I found it very damning. Trump supporters will still defend him, but Woodward says unequivocally that Trump is not fit to be president.

Older people, people that only sporadically pay attention to politics.

I think this is going to sting.
