One nice thing about Woodward's book is that he's known to be cautious about facts. As Clive James said, he “checks his facts until they weep with boredom.”
In ‘Fear,’ Bob Woodward Pulls Back the Curtain on President Trump’s ‘Crazytown’
By Dwight Garner
[Cohn] is shocked at every turn by Trump’s lack of knowledge and utter lack of interest in learning anything at all... Mike Pence, the vice president, comes off as a glorified golf caddy who doesn’t want to rock the boat lest Trump tweet something mean about him...
If this book has a single point to drive home, it is that the president of the United States is a congenital liar.
