The incredibly slow White House reaction to the salacious excerpts from Bob Woodward’s White House memoir, “Fear,” has a simple explanation — the President’s staff didn’t have the book.
According to a Wednesday Axios report, no senior staffers had read the book when the Washington Post first published excerpts on Tuesday. They reportedly have copies now and are reading through them to strategize a response.
“The problem is his credibility,” a source told Axios. “They know they can’t give him the Michael Wolff treatment,” referring to Michael Wolff’s White House bombshell “Fire and Fury.”
Per Axios, this is not the first time White House staffers have failed to procure a likely damaging book before its contents leaked. No one had Omarosa Manigault-Newman’s “UNHINGED” before it dropped either.
Oooooooooooh, I’ll bet you can cut the tension in the West Wing with a knife.
Sometimes it takes a while for the CliffsNotes version to hit the stands. Trump, of course, won’t know how to respond until Fox and Friends tells him.
Very interesting that no one thought to get a copy of these two books before the juicy parts were released. It’s almost as if…
Yes, Trump. They’re all out to get you.
As Lewis Black said to Christians about the Old Testament: “Its not your book.”
Or, in the case of Trump and his minions, the graphic version.
