As the president, Trump had a duty to be honest with the country. He failed. TRUMP KNOWINGLY LIED, Woodward simply didn't release the recordings. Woodward did the only thing within his power and that is to release the information during election season so the public could make an informed decision. It's not lied Trump and his Republican defenders wouldn't have rushed to attack Woodward, block any investigation and try to make Trump a victim. We know that's what they would do. This was the only effective path Woodward could take. If they still elect Trump, they do so knowing what Trump did.

Money talks and buys people off, all the damn time.

He's a sorry man who gives in to money and power.

Bob Woodward will be on the wrong side of history, and he cemented his place in that role.

Trump is upset because he can't claim 'Fake News'. Woodward recorded Trump. If it wasn't for the recording, 100% guarantee that Trump would have claimed Fake News.

And how does Bob Woodward's book effect that? Bob Woodward just released the tapes that recorded what came out of Trump's mouth. If anyone is at fault, it's not Woodward.

Woodward is the actual patriot. It is unbelievable what Trump supporters are willing to say to defend him.

I guess that is why he didn't want it to be known.

Woodard is a hack. Either Trump is an idiot or a genius, they can't have it both ways.
Trump is neither but the resulting deaths are Trump's responsibility, not Woodward's.
  • Trump demonized those that wore masks
  • Trump demanded his supporters take up arms and storm blue state governments
  • Trump misrepresented the danger resulting in his elderly supporters expose themselves unknowingly because they believed Trump
  • Trump, as president, had knowledge few had, yet he was telling governors to solve it themselves
  • Trump and his minions like Kushner, were negotiating against governors to take PPE equipment from the states
  • Trump complimented red state governors that opened early, resulting in more deaths, knowing they were wrong
  • All Woodward could do is what he is doing - tell the public in Trump's own words.

No I’m just concerned why a journalist will hold back information at the expense of countless lives so he can make money on his book. He is a scum bag for that stunt.

Meh.
Woodward was called a disgrace 45 years ago when he was reporting on Nixon. That never changed the fact that everything he reported was true and verifiable.

Some things never change.

If name calling is all there is to go against Woodward, it isn't going to be very useful in proving Trump's innocence, and it won't change the confidence that Woodward writes the truth. Trump himself knows better than to call him a disgrace.

A journalist who has information that he thinks is important should report it.

Not wait until he wants to sell a book two months before an election.



A different perspective.... if he discovered in March that Trump was killing babies in the white house basement at a rate of 5 per week, and then waited until September to tell the world as part of his book release.... then yes, Woodward is a DISGRACE for not telling someone IMMEDIATELY about it.


Unless, of course, he didn't really care about babies being killed in the white house basement.

Trump is the one in charge. If anyone should have spoken up, it should have been him. Woodward could have released the tapes, but he would have been powerless to have done anything to effect the way Covid was handled. The fact that so many of Trump's supporters are still supporting him in his lack of leadership speaks volumes. You would think that just the fact that Trump admitted from his own mouth that he knew of the death and illness risks of this virus and chose to ignore them would cause outrage in anyone, Democrat or Republican. But that is not the case because we live in a bizarro world.

Woodwards was a cad...but he's not up for re-election. So smear him all you want.

But this is about Trump.
How do you arrive at your conclusion ? With this title : Bob Woodward is a disgrace
