Journalist Bob Woodward said Tuesday that he believes future historians will be scratching their heads over what happened to America during President Donald Trumps time in office.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter was interviewed at the Citizen by CNN conference by the networks 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.
Tuesdays 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 hed never seen anything akin to Trumps administration in his coverage of nine presidents.

(1,685 posts)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.
