Bob Woodward Predicts How Historians Will Look Back On The Trump Era

Journalist Bob Woodward said Tuesday that he believes future historians will be scratching their heads over what happened to America during President Donald Trump’s time in office.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter was interviewed at the Citizen by CNN conference by the network’s president, Jeff Zucker, as part of his ongoing media blitz to promote his new book about Trump, “Rage.” The president admitted in taped interviews for the book that he was well aware of the deadly nature of the coronavirus in February, yet he continued to mislead the public that it would magically disappear.

Tuesday’s interview took place on a day when the U.S. passed the tragic milestone of 200,000 COVID-19 deaths

The veteran journalist, whose reporting with Carl Bernstein on the Watergate scandal led to the 1974 resignation of President Richard Nixon, said he’d never seen anything akin to Trump’s administration in his coverage of nine presidents.

He had no business keeping trump's February admittance about knowing the seriousness of Covid-19 to himself for his book.

when he knew damn well what was going on with Covid and he knew it early.

Obviously he is inept and not a smart man, but he knew the facts. He wasn’t misinformed. This is important. They strategized. They decided to be the party that didn’t believe in medicine that wanted to look like they were all for opening up the country. They let everyone die.

A con man with no redeeming good qualities. None. Of course none of that is news to us on here. The bigger issue is the republican party is in 100 percent in for him. Deplorables, all about their wallet types and knuckle draggers who vote against their own self interest. The trash of society who are a perfectly fertile ground for the would be totalitarian and his sycophants.

... that about it.

No need to "scratch their heads" if they're honest
