This man, I swear he has taken years off of my life. Donald Trump, with his honest to God belief that he’s the smartest man on the planet. He even believes he’s smarter than trained foreign policy experts who study for decades to learn their trade. And yes, Trump thinks he’s knows more about Kim Jong Un than the CIA, simply because they met a few times, and have great “chemistry”.

Watergate journalist Bob Woodward is about to release new audio interviews with Trump, and after listening to these tapes again, Woodward said he believed that Trump was an “unparalleled danger” rather than just the “wrong man” to be president. And Woodward knows something about men who shouldn’t be president.

“The Trump Tapes: Bob Woodward’s Twenty Interviews with President Trump,” set to be released Oct. 25, is an audiobook of previously unreleased conversations between the veteran journalist and Trump. And of course, Trump is furious that Woodward is releasing these tapes, and asserts that he “owns” the tapes. Much like he “owns” the documents he stole from the White House.

In an op-ed for the Washington Post, Woodward wrote that he had concluded his 2020 book on Trump by calling him “the wrong man for the job.”

Woodward now has taken a further scary step on that initial assessment, and now admits it doesn’t accurately describe Trump.

“Two years later, I realize I didn’t go far enough. Trump is an unparalleled danger,” Woodward wrote.

He continued: “When you listen to him on the range of issues from foreign policy to the virus to racial injustice, it’s clear he did not know what to do. Trump was overwhelmed by the job. He was largely disconnected from the needs and leadership expectations of the public and his absolute self-focus became the presidency.”

Woodward explains in the op-ed that he decided to release the tapes to capture Trump’s personality in a way that the written word couldn’t. “Trump’s voice magnifies his presence,” Woodward said. It also magnifies his stupidity, but Woodward wouldn’t say that.

The tapes allow Americans to listen to Trump repeatedly interrupt and at times mock Woodward as they speak about the most pressing policy issues of his presidency, including his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, which Woodward described as Trump’s “greatest failure.”

In clips of the Trump Tapes previously released by CNN, Trump can be heard talking about his love for authoritarian strongmen like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. In another clip, Trump also bragged to Woodward that no other president was “tougher” than him when faced with impeachment. Of course there weren’t too many presidents to compare him to. Nixon obviously handled it as well as he could. He admitted to himself that he did wrong and his crimes were hurting the country and he did the right thing and resigned. Clinton’s impeachment was bullshit from the beginning and fought it as he should have. All Trump did was scream witch hunt and scream like a baby.

Excerpt from the Woodward article, where Trump says why he knows better than the CIA about Kim Jong-un: “Chemistry. You meet somebody and you have good chemistry. You meet a woman – in one second you know whether or not it’s all gonna happen.” (Audio) pic.twitter.com/y0E8nD2Qwe
