  1. I hear that he has tapes. Think he might be convinced to air a few of them?

  2. “…and Elvis is living in my toaster oven! Procter-Silex is the enemy of the people! Take away license?!”

  3. He told Trump on a recorded phone call that he had hundreds of hours of tape. Yet, Trump knows only to try to bluster his way through.

  4. I’m not worshipful of Woodward or anything, but obviously he’s indelibly associated with a time when a corrupt administration was hiding the truth and a network of journalists and investigators uncovered it. People who want to believe the Trump administration’s flat denials will of course do so. But the mass of people who aren’t sure are getting swayed, drop by drop, as all this stuff comes out. More and more, polls put his approval rating in the thirties now. A player in NYC once dismissed him years ago as “a clown who lives on credit,” because they knew who he really was. The whole country’s learning that now. And that’s not survivable.

  5. Uh-huh. Sure. Woodward is a “Dem operative”. Yes, Robert Woodward, the guy who, before Trump, never saw a Republican Presidential ass that he didn’t love to kiss.
    You know, what is the most hilarious aspect of this whole Woodward/Omarosa/Michael Wolff continuing saga is the fact that if Trump were just a normal, boring President, barely a person in the world would believe the things revealed in these tell-all books, but Trump confirms his delusion and recklessness and depravity with every Tweet and every time he opens his big mouth. And he isn’t going to shut up either, which is even more hilarious.
