Is anyone on DU going to buy "The Trump Tapes" by Bob Woodward?

Just read a long piece about it on CNNs website. Not surprisingly the megalomania is scary and astonishing. That man can never hold office again.

Give the choice between your worthless existence and a few bucks, he’ll choose the one that fits in his wallet.

So, sure, pay him a few bucks to find out that Trump is a dangerous lunatic.

I have to hear enough from that a-hole. I’m not paying to hear more. Further, I have zero interest in paying people to tell me things they should have divulged earlier in an effort to save our country.

If anyone deserves getting PB'ed on their sales, it's anyone who withheld information about the Evil One's crimes to make money off a book.

Woodward was a somebody once, but to my eyes he's now just another nobody trying to make bank, at all our expenses, off his former fame.

His market share is almost gone, as is he. That's my one relief in those like him doing these things. Millennials, they're not buying his crap, neither are Zoomers. Boomers are his main market with a few misguided GenX folks.

May this be a illustrious footnote in his legacy, as it should be.

Plus what many say, that all these book mercenaries should have been reporting in real time.
