And why should it be? He’s got nothing to gain when he thinks about the American people. One day we’ll realize that we got capitalism wrong so that a very small portion of the population that is not at all representational of the population, has a huge control on the policy that affects all Americans.
I only replied because it makes sense. Trump is about business, unfortanetly he drank the koolaid thinking business means "money". Thats not the foundation of business.
@@B_Bodziak Confirming what ? That a reporter who made his bones in 1974 and made up a mythical deep throat character that was probably him, did 18 interviews with the most transparent president of all time, and with a sinister purpose of divulging his 'bombshells' less than 2 months before a presidential election in which his subject of the interview is the incumbent ? It's called meddling in an election.
So it isn't scary to have thousands of people shoulder to shoulder in the street for a hundred plus days throwing molotovs of fire and brick stones at people police and businesses?? You're completely ludicrous man. I think you need to check into the mental institution for an evaluation....
Look at what happened to Herman Cain, they wouldn't even go to his funeral after they got him sick at the KK-... I mean Maga rallies....😳😐 I'm staying home election time
@@yodead369 Are Trump supporters protesting at the rallies? Are they unsatisfied with the pres? Are they unsatisfied with their current lives? They are not. That is the difference. Trump supporters who go to his rallies believe COVID is a hoax, that it won't happen to them. Protestors are fully aware of COVID, nearly all wear masks, and nearly all are protesting for a "redress of grievances", not to spite public health and chant in support of a single man, their dear, dear leader. In other words, protestors have a right and responsibility to protest their government, by the most fundamental pillar of the constitution. Trump supporters often participate in unlawful assembly (depending on the state) with no grievances against the government, and have no constitutional right or responsibility to assemble.
Mii Entertainment everything is not ok. The thing about this is that trump knew and down play. Trump knew and he should have said something. Instead it’s a democratic hoax. Go ask China
Well, you might not but probably do absorb tons of fake news - even if just subliminally. I don't blame you. I swipe left on my phone everyday and it's nothing but the same old predictable anti-Trump headlines. People that follow politics and the media headlines may not like Trump but if you follow policies and go deeper instead, he wins a lot of folks on that. Plus I don't how old you are but almost all of the more known folks in political TV media have been discredited based on their previous lies - so not too many watch and believe this stuff. Even when they report a fact, they don't report all of them on purpose - to paint a specific picture.
@@TheIslandersDynasty I completely understand, there is nowhere now where you can avoid fake news. On the left and right. I struggle sometimes to know what to believe. But come on, do Trump's policies matter more than when he said he played down the virus threat and the effect this policy has had on the US, clears peaceful protestors with force to stand in front of a church with a bible, to call military people losers and suckers, to mock a disabled man (I really could go on and on) . With the exception of the losers and suckers statement, all the other things mentioned I have seen and heard with my own ears and eyes. How is it, that a considered person such as yourself, ignore these obviously flawed traits in Trump. To me it suggests you are influenced by fake news also, and/or just ignore the bad stuff Trump does. Either way, Trump is the wrong president for now for sure.
@@Binnziboy The disability mocking was debunked as something he has done to mock many others - 99% of who are not disabled. Not even most military men believe the un-sourced military lesrs and suckers lie. I mean it's tough to have less evidence than they did against Brett Kavanaugh - but they did and so they tried linking it to past McCain criticism to give a push and hope it's believed and propped up by those who already hate him. I don't know what other already debunked stuff has you hating him but it doesn't sound good. The Charlottesville good people on both sides thing was debunked. Policies absolutely matter more than words.
@@Binnziboy and I'd also say that Kamala Harris says, "investigate the person, not the crime". That's crazy. She believed Jussie Smollett yet her and Biden said Brett Kavanaugh was guilty (with no evidence). She called Joe Biden a racist in the primary. Her policies are trash. Joe Biden is already done for the day, literally done. It's 10 AM! Look it up per his own team. He won't be doing anything or seen today. He's like the dead guy in Weekend At Bernie's movies. They both said Trump's China ban due to the virus was racist. I can't vote for people like that who put their own political gain and "social justice" lunatic stance over common sense - even if Trump's words aren't always the best.
@@TheIslandersDynasty The disability mocking was debunked as something he has done to mock many others - 99% of who are not disabled - By this admission, its okay for the pres to mock someone in this way? To me it is not. And further where did you get this news? Debunked by who? Trump supporters? Hmmm Not even most military men believe the un-sourced military lesrs and suckers lie - Again where did you get your news? comon, even FOX NEWS confirmed with this one. On Brett Kavanaugh - agreed, some of what they were trying to discredit him on was suspect. However, the testimony by C.B. Ford was very convincing, but I do not know for sure. I don't know what other already debunked stuff has you hating him but it doesn't sound good - Like I said when I hear and see for myself what Trump says, it tells me what he is like. I do not need the media to show me Trump is not a nice person. Are you seriously saying he did not say the people in Charlottesville are good on both side comment! I'm beginning to believe it's you that "absorb tons of fake news".
@Daniel Roig I don't think the real factual Trump is what the people want but I do believe we have him for another 4 years. Unfortunately whatever lead Biden has now will completely disappear after the debates.
Hmmmm... I didn’t even think about that. I do know he was worried about the market and economy. Every President should but not at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives. It may very well have been strategic maneuver to help he and his circle of “friends”.
Funny democrats always say that but 11 of the top 15 billionaires are democrats and supports democrats. The 5 richest men in the us and world are all democrats. So who are the buddy’s he speaking of. You people are so damn stupid you repeat anything you hear on tv. You don’t have a brain

@@Ptankblard I too disagree with Woodward, but I understand his position.. and ours. If Woodward would've told us what he knew in February, we would not have heard the rest of it. And let's face it - Trump is the real "COVID". 200,000 is nothing compared to the lives lost if he's re-elected. NOTHING!
Once again Bob Woodward lays the truth bare for the people of the USA. Time Will tell if the citizens of the states will meet the test. God bless the United States of America.
@John Doe What is funny is how Trump supporters focus the ONE thing that they deem important and oh so critical. We see this time and time again. Trump is the president of the self-absorbed and globally clueless. What is laughable is Trump as done more damage to the anti-communist agenda that any president in the history of the United States. But this is no surprise. And, how can anyone who is going to make America great deny the value of the human sacrifices of soldiers calling them losers and suckers? It is time to face it that Trump voters made huge miscalculations in who can be a president.
@John Doe Please give an example of one year where a regular flu killed 200,000 people in six months. Also, while you're looking that up, learn something about projection and fascism while you're at it.

Don't listen to medical professionals. Just listen to what Donny said on 2/7/20. Ok. STOP spewing your communist theories. You look like a jackass.
To hear a President say stuff like, "it is what it is" and "there's nothing more that could have been done", while finding time to play golf and tweet the most insane things speaks of a man with no capacity for reasoning. Everything seems to fly over his head. His response to the devastation in Puerto Rico was no different. He's disgusting, it upsets me just hearing the mention of his name
Well if thats the case you better be sure and go vote for a guy that has no accomplishments over 47 years. And can't even complete a sentence. You have to be careful what you hear and what you watch. Trump has done a amazing job on EVERYTHING he has been given. All the deaths are on the government. Trump shut the country down. He set records on EVERYTHING.

I have a different take on it. Not alarming the public was necessary to prevent grocery stores from being horded to the point where there was nothing to eat. The shelves were already practically empty without knowing the full extent of it. Mass starvation is more deadly than covid. What do you think would have happened if we would have been given all the information? He said that he wanted to "always play it down" which shows an excellent capacity for reasoning in the interest of public safety. I completely agree with that strategy. I'd rather not hear fire yelled in the theatre to get trampled and be alive to complain about it tomorrow.
Of course it is. That’s why Trumptards will hate it. All I can say is take care of yourself and let his supporters, whom Trump can’t stand himself, deal themselves out of the DNA pool
I'm not voting for a puppeted creepy, ingenuine, and senile old man that should be in a nursing home, nor a narcissistic authoritarian that has an ego the size of VY Canis Majoris, that lies to him self, and others.

Matthew Pottinger's prescience on this virus was incredible, and if the president had taken the truly unprecedented actions required by his warnings, Pottinger would go down as a hero. Instead, he is a sad footnote in this story.
Anyone with eyes and a brain should have been able to tell how this was going to turn out before the US even had a known case. I told my wife in December that this virus was different and needed to be taken serious. China doesn't just shut down huge parts of its country for nothing. Especially when shutting down those places means economic disaster and China's main way of influencing the world is through economics. There is no way they would have chose to weaken themselves unless this was serious. Also the rate of spread was so high it was obvious it would make it here and be disastrous. I really don't understand how this virus caught so many off guard with all the information we had even before January.
@Investigative Audit did you find out why FAUCI sent 3.7 MILLION funding from his agency to the WUHAN LAB in 2015? Millions of near house arrested Americans deserve to know!
What's also so sad is that at his Nevada rally a reporter asked, Aren't you afraid of catching the virus because they aren't wearing masks..? He said no, I'm distanced on stage and I'm actually worried because you may be too close.. He literally was saying that he knows his supporters can get sick and or die but he doesn't care, he needs his ego boost.. They still support him after hearing all this..

You absolutley right this president is not right for the job he's keep saying he's going to make America great when he knew about coronavirus and he didn't warn the American people he not our president and he not right for the country
So many government employees failed us all. If these people knew that the danger was imminent and they did not raise concerns then they themselves are derelict in their duties.
The goverment employees he fired reported him. The career politicians who support him, he has a lot of dirt on them. Trump uses everything to blackmail people.
Describing himself like Churchill is an insult to us here in the UK. Churchill never for an instant tried to calm the British people in those dark days, he prepared the country for the invasion that was sure to come and inspired the Nation to fight on.
Winston Churchill was a man of his times, and he did terrible things home and abroad. Things that should be highlighted. However he was not a coward and in our nation's gravest, darkest hour he gave us hope, belief and the strength to carry on the fight when all looked lost. And for that we are grateful and esteem him. Not for anything else he did. Trump, dodged service, mocked the fallen and failed his country in its darkest hour since Pearl Harbor.

Yes, agree with you. Trump even publicly implied that we need to have herd immunity in the US in order to help stop the spread of the corona virus; yet Trump fails to consider the many thousands of lives we would lose in the process of acquiring this "herd immunity".

@nick smith America LEGALIZED OPEN DOMESTIC TERRORISM on its Black American citizens for 100+ years AFTER Slavery. During these same 100+ years Whites were being given Land Grants & FHA Loans to place them solidly in the middle class. The 1970s was the first full decade in American history where it was illegal to do any bad thing you wanted to a Black person with no consequences. Discrimination against Blacks was perfectly legal until 1968. Housing & Banking discrimination against Blacks is happening TODAY. The legacies of this disparate governance & legislation is present in our society now. Woodward's recognition of this should not be ridiculed. No amount of denial of this changes it.
@nick smith Read "From Here to Equality" by Sandy Darity. It shows how determined the American government & the larger society was to keep the Black American Descendants of Slavery from accessing wealth. All that was done then has followed us generations until now.
If other people knew he was lying why let him get away with all of this misinformation and now they wanna be the heroes! So disgusting how they covered for him and let him get away with everything!
How true Mr. Woodward’s words were about the president being dynamite. What a perilous time we are experiencing in this country right now. God bless us all.
All his aides knew as well. Should someone have blown a whistle? And been silenced or disbelieved? They would likely have said any recordings were faked
Trump’s ego and upbringing makes him think that only he can lead and that the American people are infants... that we can’t and shouldn’t think for ourselves.
Trump, if you have a memory, had to break through the GOP Establishment and FOX News in the Primaries who did not like or support him before beating the corrupt DNC. He said whatever he wanted and won. The folks who are not allowed to think or speak differently are minorities who don't support democrats. Try being a minority and disagreeing with democrats - see what happens. Liberal democrats treat them like they can't and shouldn't think for themselves.
Daniel, So in your view, anyone who disagrees with Trump has been radicalized? You have to see how that’s extreme in itself? I never said that “everything” Trump has done is wrong. I explained why I think he lies to Americans, which shouldn’t be under debate. Trump admits in his very own words that he “downplayed” the virus knowing how dangerous it was. Maybe you can accept his excuse of why he did it, and it doesn’t bother you, but it bothers me and many others. This has nothing to do with radicalization. I expect to be treated like an intelligent adult. I don’t want people in power making decisions for me. I just want the facts spoken in calm and confident way. Not lies spoken in a calm and confident way.
@@TheIslandersDynasty nice switching the focus off of trump and saying "look at Democrats". Oldest trick in the Trump supporter playbook. When the heat is on Trump shift the view to the Democrats

Here we are bickering, while they’re all robbing the bank.
Bob Woodward has to be THE MOST trustworthy and fair reporting man to ever live. It saddens me to think that at his age, his legacy could very well end with Trump as his last subject.

Mr. Woodward I wish you had warned us what was coming. He told you , we knew you as a man of integrity, You could have SAVED so many lives. We would have believed you. You had a MORAL DUTY.
In mid-late February, I was working in a cafeteria inside a large university. Although I still have not been tested, I very likely had the virus at this time. It was deep cough, sneezing, and general weakness for about 2 weeks. We were short staffed because people were getting sick, and I was working from about 5AM to 3PM. At first it seemed like just a standard cough, so I tried to be extra careful to cover coughs in the back and do extra hand washing. I felt like I had to keep working otherwise we wouldn't have the staff to keep going. There wasn't much knowledge out on the virus that I had heard, and we had an FAQ sheet posted in the back for people asking questions like "are we required to wear masks? Which said no, they aren't necessary." About a day after I had symptoms, I heard Trump say (paraphrasing) 'This is going to be over really soon, people shouldn't worry, it's gonna be a miracle.' Of course it's hard to believe anything he says, but you assume he's got the top US scientists and health experts at his disposal. He must have at least some good information even though this is a new thing for everyone. So I continue to work for about 4 days, until more information comes out from the CDC and other sources, and I realize what a stupid mistake I've made. About the same time, co-workers, and my boss were also realizing the seriousness of the situation. I told my boss I can't come in, and about a week later, we had to close down. It is for sure partly my fault, but if I were given the correct information, I would have for sure immediately called in. I may have infected many people when we were serving food to hundreds of people a shift.
I don’t think you did anything wrong because the President and even Fauci were wrong at the start. The difference is, Trump knew from day one it could be bad and yet still lied about how bad it could get.
Yep. He was gambling on it not being as bad as it got. And being able to come out a "hero" - ie we didn't have to shut down and our economy didn't suffer.
Of course. Otherwise it would've been the first time he made a decision based on any reason other than how it affected him personally. He's a pathologically narcissistic, 74-year old leopard. Way too late for him to change his spots.
"It goes through the air, Bob. That's always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch, you don't have to touch things. I touch myself, Bob. I think of the best words, Bob. I even thought of the word 'pandemic'. I said to my people, Bob, 'how about we call this thing a pandemic?' They all loved it. Bob? Bob? Are you there?
I hope the presidents behavior during the pandemic make those undecided voters understand that Biden isn't perfect and may not represent your ideology, but we need to ask Trump to leave for the good of the country. To the Trump supporters, none of this will make a difference and they will all agree with Trumps proclamation of fake news.
4:45 Trump: 'I didn't want to create a panic.' What Trump omitted: he wanted enough time for all the insider trading to take place with his grifter cronies.
Daniel Roig so the President admits his reelection was more important than the safety of Americans and your response is that he has balls? So embarrassing.
Daniel Roig the numbers don’t add up. By your logic New Zealand would be bankrupt with increased deaths now because they followed the science but they have reduced their exposure to a practical zero and are not bankrupt. South Korea is another example. Their economy is fine AND they have incredibly lower per capita death from the virus. The U.S. is 4% of the world’s population yet we have 25% of the deaths. Let that sink in. Your claim that Trump protected the economy and reduced deaths is laughable. Which G8 country has had more deaths and economic collapse because they followed the science? The economies of all the E.U. nations are doing fine, yet they all have less death per capita than the U.S. except the U.K. which is right there with us and also ignoring the science. What metric would you like to use to support your claim? Some anecdotal stories don’t add up to 200,000 and counting.
Daniel Roig what is wrong with people that resort to ‘you can always move to another country’ when they feel they are defending the indefensible. That is just stupid. I was born here, I served in the military here. I worked and retired here. I think I will just stay here, if it is alright with you. South Korea has 1/6 our population and 377 deaths. 377x6=2262. Why do we have 100 times that amount? Because South Korea developed a testing and tracing program in the beginning. Our President lied to us for months and only when he was falling behind in the polls did he start to emphasize testing a little bit. How do we know he lied? He is ON TAPE. His own words. And yet, he still tweets out that it is fake news. Unbelievable that folks believe anything out of his mouth at this point. As far as the EU death rate being higher, uh no. www.gzeromedia.com/the-graphic-truth-are-new-us-covid-deaths-surging-vs-eu
Daniel Roig I think it was ridiculous when folks said they would leave the country if Obama won and it is equally ridiculous when they said it about Trump. I voted for Ronald Reagan 4 times (Governor and President) and when Trump was elected I admit I wasn’t happy. As a veteran I make it a point to never vote for a draft dodger, but that is just my thing. Even so, I said then that our system of government is greater than any one man. I held hope that the office would help Trump to become a leader. As time went by I slowly lost hope. It began when many people reported him saying the White House was a dump. I have come to believe he is a narcissist incapable of empathy or acting outside his own interests. When he ordered a military attack from his dinner table without proper military guidance and lives were lost I became dismayed and sad. When he pulled out of Syria without proper preparations resulting in the deaths of many of our allies in the region and we had to bomb our own base to keep equipment from falling into Russian hands I became angry. His taunting of Gold and Blue Star families is reprehensible. His lies about large pay raises for the military and improved health care options are just more reasons I don’t like him. My 401k did very well under Obama and it continued under Trump, but people not fortunate enough to have excess income to put into the stock market are not doing that well under Trump. More people are working, largely due to cuts in unemployment benefits, but at lower paying jobs and temporary jobs without health and other benefits. The factory I retired from doubled the number of temporary employees (by reducing the permanent staff) in the last couple years before COVID. Low unemployment does not tell the whole story, and I read recently that due to calculation errors the number wasn’t even as low as had been reported.
Daniel Roig usually the Republican gets huge support from the military and Trump did OK in 2016, no surprise, but here is the latest poll by The Military Times: www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/08/31/as-trumps-popularity-slips-in-latest-military-times-poll-more-troops-say-theyll-vote-for-biden/ Not that good for el Presidento.
Bob Woodward is not making this up because he has questioned Donald J. Trump. I do believe is that in Bob Woodward’s view, Donald J. Trump is worse than Richard Nixon.
Today, August 9, 2024......and I wonder how ANYONE would vote for Trump. His ineptitude cost American lives. Isn't that the ultimate negligence? But then again, we've become used to his inability to tell the truth.
And replace them with whom fake Joe Biden? That's very logical.

@ENDEAVOR RADIO CONTROL I'm critical of all that desire to control other people's lives. Seems every politician is a hypocrite, I'm sure there are a few exceptions.
I wish I could like this x 1,000 He wanted to downplay Covid & the real reason (he’s lying to Woodward about why) is so he could continue his Hitler rallies and take in $$ at his convention center hotels. Satan is called the Prince of Lies. Trump is the King of Lies
Trump is criminally complicit in the deaths of most of the 200,000 American CoVid victims. He has admitted on tape "playing down" his response to the pandemic instead of taking decisive action. The charge is negligent homicide. Trump is not far removed from Stalin and Hitler in his callous disregard for life.
@Mike Smith Tell me, of all the representatives, who quotes Marx? Even Sanders wants to initiate "Third Way" policies- a middle road between Marxism and Capitalism.
Just out of curiousity: there is an interview part (6:50) in which you hear Woodward say something like: ‘Hold on, mr. President, I’m putting my recorder on.’ So who was recording that?
Woodward is telling President Trump that this conversation is "on the record", meaning it's recorded. He already had the recorder on prior to Trump picking up the phone.
![ประสบการณ์ จ้าง Developer ที่ผมจะไม่มีวันลืม [ภาค2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pZbsSDRrmXA/mqdefault.jpg)
when he says he didn't want to 'create a panic' he's talking about the stock market - which to him is more important than people dying.
And why should it be? He’s got nothing to gain when he thinks about the American people. One day we’ll realize that we got capitalism wrong so that a very small portion of the population that is not at all representational of the population, has a huge control on the policy that affects all Americans.
Very true!
I only replied because it makes sense. Trump is about business, unfortanetly he drank the koolaid thinking business means "money". Thats not the foundation of business.
FALSE
@@sunshinepatsoph4219 I could just as easily type the word 'true' in all caps. Would it be any more meaningful?

That a reporter who made his bones in 1974 and made up a mythical deep throat character that was probably him, did 18 interviews with the most transparent president of all time, and with a sinister purpose of divulging his 'bombshells' less than 2 months before a presidential election in which his subject of the interview is the incumbent ? It's called meddling in an election.
There is no way that trump was concerned about the public being panic. He was concerned about the stock market and being reelected. That is all.
Because he could only be concerned with one thing

@@eyeseer1 Yes, I am 68 years old and I respect Bob Woodwork. 😊
Sorry, I meant Bob Woodward.
The scariest thing is after the tape is out, people still attend his rally knowing the virus is deadly lol.
So it isn't scary to have thousands of people shoulder to shoulder in the street for a hundred plus days throwing molotovs of fire and brick stones at people police and businesses?? You're completely ludicrous man. I think you need to check into the mental institution for an evaluation....
Mii Entertainment it is scary too. I don’t know why you assume I don’t agree with you lol
Look at what happened to Herman Cain, they wouldn't even go to his funeral after they got him sick at the KK-... I mean Maga rallies....😳😐 I'm staying home election time
@@yodead369 Are Trump supporters protesting at the rallies? Are they unsatisfied with the pres? Are they unsatisfied with their current lives?
They are not. That is the difference. Trump supporters who go to his rallies believe COVID is a hoax, that it won't happen to them. Protestors are fully aware of COVID, nearly all wear masks, and nearly all are protesting for a "redress of grievances", not to spite public health and chant in support of a single man, their dear, dear leader.
In other words, protestors have a right and responsibility to protest their government, by the most fundamental pillar of the constitution. Trump supporters often participate in unlawful assembly (depending on the state) with no grievances against the government, and have no constitutional right or responsibility to assemble.
Mii Entertainment everything is not ok. The thing about this is that trump knew and down play. Trump knew and he should have said something. Instead it’s a democratic hoax. Go ask China
I am dumbstruck at how Trump is still in office. That 40% still support him. Unbelievable.
Well, you might not but probably do absorb tons of fake news - even if just subliminally. I don't blame you. I swipe left on my phone everyday and it's nothing but the same old predictable anti-Trump headlines. People that follow politics and the media headlines may not like Trump but if you follow policies and go deeper instead, he wins a lot of folks on that. Plus I don't how old you are but almost all of the more known folks in political TV media have been discredited based on their previous lies - so not too many watch and believe this stuff. Even when they report a fact, they don't report all of them on purpose - to paint a specific picture.
@@TheIslandersDynasty I completely understand, there is nowhere now where you can avoid fake news. On the left and right. I struggle sometimes to know what to believe. But come on, do Trump's policies matter more than when he said he played down the virus threat and the effect this policy has had on the US, clears peaceful protestors with force to stand in front of a church with a bible, to call military people losers and suckers, to mock a disabled man (I really could go on and on) . With the exception of the losers and suckers statement, all the other things mentioned I have seen and heard with my own ears and eyes. How is it, that a considered person such as yourself, ignore these obviously flawed traits in Trump. To me it suggests you are influenced by fake news also, and/or just ignore the bad stuff Trump does. Either way, Trump is the wrong president for now for sure.
@@Binnziboy The disability mocking was debunked as something he has done to mock many others - 99% of who are not disabled. Not even most military men believe the un-sourced military lesrs and suckers lie. I mean it's tough to have less evidence than they did against Brett Kavanaugh - but they did and so they tried linking it to past McCain criticism to give a push and hope it's believed and propped up by those who already hate him. I don't know what other already debunked stuff has you hating him but it doesn't sound good. The Charlottesville good people on both sides thing was debunked. Policies absolutely matter more than words.
@@Binnziboy and I'd also say that Kamala Harris says, "investigate the person, not the crime". That's crazy. She believed Jussie Smollett yet her and Biden said Brett Kavanaugh was guilty (with no evidence). She called Joe Biden a racist in the primary. Her policies are trash. Joe Biden is already done for the day, literally done. It's 10 AM! Look it up per his own team. He won't be doing anything or seen today. He's like the dead guy in Weekend At Bernie's movies. They both said Trump's China ban due to the virus was racist. I can't vote for people like that who put their own political gain and "social justice" lunatic stance over common sense - even if Trump's words aren't always the best.
@@TheIslandersDynasty The disability mocking was debunked as something he has done to mock many others - 99% of who are not disabled - By this admission, its okay for the pres to mock someone in this way? To me it is not. And further where did you get this news? Debunked by who? Trump supporters? Hmmm
Not even most military men believe the un-sourced military lesrs and suckers lie - Again where did you get your news? comon, even FOX NEWS confirmed with this one.
On Brett Kavanaugh - agreed, some of what they were trying to discredit him on was suspect. However, the testimony by C.B. Ford was very convincing, but I do not know for sure.
I don't know what other already debunked stuff has you hating him but it doesn't sound good - Like I said when I hear and see for myself what Trump says, it tells me what he is like. I do not need the media to show me Trump is not a nice person. Are you seriously saying he did not say the people in Charlottesville are good on both side comment! I'm beginning to believe it's you that "absorb tons of fake news".
the best part of these stories is seeing how the trump supporters come up with new and creative ways to try and deflect
@Daniel Roig jesus
@Daniel Roig I agree there is no God. I also can see Trump as like the God of trolls. Trump is an all time great troll. Just not a good POTUS.
@Daniel Roig I don't think the real factual Trump is what the people want but I do believe we have him for another 4 years. Unfortunately whatever lead Biden has now will completely disappear after the debates.
The sad part is he’ll ride it all the way to reelection.
It’s the mental gymnastics for me
He didn't want to panic the stock market....and it gave his buddies time to rearrange their portfolios.
Hmmmm... I didn’t even think about that. I do know he was worried about the market and economy. Every President should but not at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives. It may very well have been strategic maneuver to help he and his circle of “friends”.
Bingo.
His buddy? You mean Bloomberg and co?
Carlos Rodrigo no the senators who were briefed suddenly changed their portfolios. Made the stock market surge....
Funny democrats always say that but 11 of the top 15 billionaires are democrats and supports democrats. The 5 richest men in the us and world are all democrats. So who are the buddy’s he speaking of. You people are so damn stupid you repeat anything you hear on tv. You don’t have a brain

I think this and saying it what it is cost him the most votes. When you tell one of the Watergate reporters something, people are going to take that to heart.
Trump cares about Trump.
Obama lost 2 citizens by Ebola in 2014 in a controlled quarantine. Trump had 250,000 dead by Covid-19 in 8 months in 2020.
BoB Woodward is a patriot. His book is a real contribution. Wonderful man.
He waited 6 months to tell us something he should have told us in the beginning. He is just as at fault.
HAHA AND AN IDIOT..
@@Ptankblard I too disagree with Woodward, but I understand his position.. and ours. If Woodward would've told us what he knew in February, we would not have heard the rest of it. And let's face it - Trump is the real "COVID". 200,000 is nothing compared to the lives lost if he's re-elected. NOTHING!
So now we know what “fake” means...it means “true facts”...
Minitrue (Ministry of Truth)...
His truth, is the opposite of what he says.
And just like that no one is held accountable
Once again Bob Woodward lays the truth bare for the people of the USA. Time Will tell if the citizens of the states will meet the test. God bless the United States of America.
@John Doe What is funny is how Trump supporters focus the ONE thing that they deem important and oh so critical. We see this time and time again. Trump is the president of the self-absorbed and globally clueless. What is laughable is Trump as done more damage to the anti-communist agenda that any president in the history of the United States. But this is no surprise. And, how can anyone who is going to make America great deny the value of the human sacrifices of soldiers calling them losers and suckers? It is time to face it that Trump voters made huge miscalculations in who can be a president.
@John Doe even though trump himself said on tape that it is far deadlier than the flu.
🙄
@John Doe Please give an example of one year where a regular flu killed 200,000 people in six months. Also, while you're looking that up, learn something about projection and fascism while you're at it.
@John Doe You are so right.
@John Doe I have no idea if you are mentally challenged or not so I am going to make this real simple. Listen to the words that came out of your puppet master's mouth > 3:30 < Don't listen to Bob. Don't listen to medical professionals. Just listen to what Donny said on 2/7/20. Ok. STOP spewing your communist theories. You look like a jackass.
To hear a President say stuff like, "it is what it is" and "there's nothing more that could have been done", while finding time to play golf and tweet the most insane things speaks of a man with no capacity for reasoning. Everything seems to fly over his head. His response to the devastation in Puerto Rico was no different. He's disgusting, it upsets me just hearing the mention of his name
Correctamundo!
Well if thats the case you better be sure and go vote for a guy that has no accomplishments over 47 years. And can't even complete a sentence. You have to be careful what you hear and what you watch. Trump has done a amazing job on EVERYTHING he has been given. All the deaths are on the government. Trump shut the country down. He set records on EVERYTHING. Ventilators, PPE, hospitals and so much more. You know what makes me sick? Is just thinking about my children being around joe biden. Thats just them being around him... just think people are trusting this guy with the country lol.

I have a different take on it. Not alarming the public was necessary to prevent grocery stores from being horded to the point where there was nothing to eat. The shelves were already practically empty without knowing the full extent of it. Mass starvation is more deadly than covid. What do you think would have happened if we would have been given all the information? He said that he wanted to "always play it down" which shows an excellent capacity for reasoning in the interest of public safety. I completely agree with that strategy. I'd rather not hear fire yelled in the theatre to get trampled and be alive to complain about it tomorrow.

All politicians lie but this man took it a new level.

Fear only God. Could you imagine if our country was under God again?

I think it’s more like ‘I think I have built a strong economy and I don’t want the markets to panic and crash. It would cost me the election’. Trump alway thinks in transactional terms.

Investigative audit : there are no links ! Put the links in your replies please
Anyone with eyes and a brain should have been able to tell how this was going to turn out before the US even had a known case. I told my wife in December that this virus was different and needed to be taken serious. China doesn't just shut down huge parts of its country for nothing. Especially when shutting down those places means economic disaster and China's main way of influencing the world is through economics. There is no way they would have chose to weaken themselves unless this was serious. Also the rate of spread was so high it was obvious it would make it here and be disastrous. I really don't understand how this virus caught so many off guard with all the information we had even before January.
@Investigative Audit did you find out why FAUCI sent 3.7 MILLION funding from his agency to the WUHAN LAB in 2015? Millions of near house arrested Americans deserve to know!
Thank you Mr. Woodward.
What's also so sad is that at his Nevada rally a reporter asked, Aren't you afraid of catching the virus because they aren't wearing masks..? He said no, I'm distanced on stage and I'm actually worried because you may be too close.. He literally was saying that he knows his supporters can get sick and or die but he doesn't care, he needs his ego boost.. They still support him after hearing all this..
You said it; his lemmings know no bounds when it comes to worshiping a false prophet/god!

It's official. Trump has done more to get rid of Tik Tok than the coronavirus.
Trump wasn't finished talking when he made that "Kool Aid" comment. There was more.
Oh yeah! 😏
? Whatcha mean
Pots calling kettles black.
@nick smith America LEGALIZED OPEN DOMESTIC TERRORISM on its Black American citizens for 100+ years AFTER Slavery.
During these same 100+ years Whites were being given Land Grants & FHA Loans to place them solidly in the middle class.
The 1970s was the first full decade in American history where it was illegal to do any bad thing you wanted to a Black person with no consequences.
Discrimination against Blacks was perfectly legal until 1968.
Housing & Banking discrimination against Blacks is happening TODAY.
The legacies of this disparate governance & legislation is present in our society now.
Woodward's recognition of this should not be ridiculed.
No amount of denial of this changes it.
@nick smith Read "From Here to Equality" by Sandy Darity.
It shows how determined the American government & the larger society was to keep the Black American Descendants of Slavery from accessing wealth.
All that was done then has followed us generations until now.
If other people knew he was lying why let him get away with all of this misinformation and now they wanna be the heroes! So disgusting how they covered for him and let him get away with everything!
How true Mr. Woodward’s words were about the president being dynamite. What a perilous time we are experiencing in this country right now. God bless us all.
All his aides knew as well. Should someone have blown a whistle? And been silenced or disbelieved? They would likely have said any recordings were faked
@nick smith and yet, you cant help replying to these "dumb" people over and over and over....
Or called a disgruntled former employee.
Trump’s ego and upbringing makes him think that only he can lead and that the American people are infants... that we can’t and shouldn’t think for ourselves.
Trump, if you have a memory, had to break through the GOP Establishment and FOX News in the Primaries who did not like or support him before beating the corrupt DNC. He said whatever he wanted and won. The folks who are not allowed to think or speak differently are minorities who don't support democrats. Try being a minority and disagreeing with democrats - see what happens. Liberal democrats treat them like they can't and shouldn't think for themselves.
Daniel, So in your view, anyone who disagrees with Trump has been radicalized? You have to see how that’s extreme in itself? I never said that “everything” Trump has done is wrong. I explained why I think he lies to Americans, which shouldn’t be under debate. Trump admits in his very own words that he “downplayed” the virus knowing how dangerous it was. Maybe you can accept his excuse of why he did it, and it doesn’t bother you, but it bothers me and many others. This has nothing to do with radicalization. I expect to be treated like an intelligent adult. I don’t want people in power making decisions for me. I just want the facts spoken in calm and confident way. Not lies spoken in a calm and confident way.
@@TheIslandersDynasty nice switching the focus off of trump and saying "look at Democrats". Oldest trick in the Trump supporter playbook. When the heat is on Trump shift the view to the Democrats
Hilarious commentary coming from a group think legion.
Wrong is wrong, whoever does it, Dem or Rep. Trump made a huge mistake not being upfront. It inadvertently created the panic he was so trying to avoid. I’m not going to make excuses for any of these politicians. Besides I’m not some giant lobby so they probably don’t even need me sticking up for them. Here we are bickering, while they’re all robbing the bank.
This is what journalism should be.
Bob Woodward is a respected journalist point blank period.
Unmm
He was straight out of CIA with no journalism experience. Lmao oh how little people form opinions based on lame stream pundits.
There is no such thing that he don’t want to create panic but either he just wants keep his business running
You keep america running which was the right call
sara meachel still their are some fool who like Donald Trump they are making their future dull
Bob Woodward has to be THE MOST trustworthy and fair reporting man to ever live. It saddens me to think that at his age, his legacy could very well end with Trump as his last subject. Honestly, I think that fate brought this to light at the exact right moment in time, and I hold out hope that Americans will vote Trump out of office in order to preserve our democracy. 🇺🇸HAND DELIVER YOUR BALLOT 🇺🇸 Biden
Well said.
WHO ELSE SAVE SOMETHING AND USE MONTHS LATER?...MONIKA LEWINSKI..LOL
Damn he really said Drank the Kool Aid 🤦♂️
Cmon man, That's a very common saying. There's so much other stuff you can talk about. That one doesn't seem racially motivated. You hear that saying often regardless of the race of the person you're talking too.
That saying has nothing to do with race. It's a reference to a cult that committed suicide by drinking poisoned koolaid.
@@TheOMGFlavio It's a very common rebuttal to a question that 10's of millions of Americans believe is pertinent to our lives. Trump merely discounts the question instead of addressing it. That's 10's of millions of Americans he doesn't take seriously. Conversely, he's said positive things about the Q-Anon group, who maintain Dem politicians run a cabal to kidnap kids for child sex.
@@Ozrico1o1 thats because they do... Jefferey epstein.... Dan shenider.... Its not just the democrats its both parties... The old speaker of the house....
"You really drank the Kool-Aid, didn't you?" - 45th POTUS
This held up BIGLY in 2022! Ever so pertinent
Mr. Woodward
I wish you had warned us what was coming. He told you , we knew you as a man of integrity, You could have SAVED so many lives. We would have believed you. You had a MORAL DUTY.
The only real panic he was worried about was the stock market, he doesn't care about the people of this country.
PREVENTING STOCK COLLAPSE IS VERY IMPORTANT THOUGH.
@@apope06 just another lib hit job
In mid-late February, I was working in a cafeteria inside a large university. Although I still have not been tested, I very likely had the virus at this time. It was deep cough, sneezing, and general weakness for about 2 weeks. We were short staffed because people were getting sick, and I was working from about 5AM to 3PM. At first it seemed like just a standard cough, so I tried to be extra careful to cover coughs in the back and do extra hand washing. I felt like I had to keep working otherwise we wouldn't have the staff to keep going. There wasn't much knowledge out on the virus that I had heard, and we had an FAQ sheet posted in the back for people asking questions like "are we required to wear masks? Which said no, they aren't necessary." About a day after I had symptoms, I heard Trump say (paraphrasing) 'This is going to be over really soon, people shouldn't worry, it's gonna be a miracle.' Of course it's hard to believe anything he says, but you assume he's got the top US scientists and health experts at his disposal. He must have at least some good information even though this is a new thing for everyone. So I continue to work for about 4 days, until more information comes out from the CDC and other sources, and I realize what a stupid mistake I've made. About the same time, co-workers, and my boss were also realizing the seriousness of the situation. I told my boss I can't come in, and about a week later, we had to close down. It is for sure partly my fault, but if I were given the correct information, I would have for sure immediately called in. I may have infected many people when we were serving food to hundreds of people a shift.
I don’t think you did anything wrong because the President and even Fauci were wrong at the start. The difference is, Trump knew from day one it could be bad and yet still lied about how bad it could get.
He didn’t think people would panic. He thought he’d be blamed and people wouldn’t vote for him.
Yep. He was gambling on it not being as bad as it got. And being able to come out a "hero" - ie we didn't have to shut down and our economy didn't suffer.
Of course. Otherwise it would've been the first time he made a decision based on any reason other than how it affected him personally. He's a pathologically narcissistic, 74-year old leopard. Way too late for him to change his spots.
"It goes through the air, Bob. That's always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch, you don't have to touch things. I touch myself, Bob. I think of the best words, Bob. I even thought of the word 'pandemic'. I said to my people, Bob, 'how about we call this thing a pandemic?' They all loved it. Bob? Bob? Are you there?
How did this guy get elected? That is the real story that needs to be researched and solved!
I hope the presidents behavior during the pandemic make those undecided voters understand that Biden isn't perfect and may not represent your ideology, but we need to ask Trump to leave for the good of the country. To the Trump supporters, none of this will make a difference and they will all agree with Trumps proclamation of fake news.
"Nothing more could have been done..." in Trump's mind because there is nothing much in terms of ideas in it...
Woodward is a master critical thinker and a master communicator. Plus a rational conclusion based on critical evidence.
4:45
Trump: 'I didn't want to create a panic.'
What Trump omitted: he wanted enough time for all the insider trading to take place with his grifter cronies.
I can listen to Woodward for hours, the way he speaks, every word is chosen so thoughtful, feel almost ASMR like when listening to him.
So Trump says that a book quoting his own words is fake.
Daniel Roig so the President admits his reelection was more important than the safety of Americans and your response is that he has balls? So embarrassing.
Daniel Roig the numbers don’t add up. By your logic New Zealand would be bankrupt with increased deaths now because they followed the science but they have reduced their exposure to a practical zero and are not bankrupt. South Korea is another example. Their economy is fine AND they have incredibly lower per capita death from the virus. The U.S. is 4% of the world’s population yet we have 25% of the deaths. Let that sink in. Your claim that Trump protected the economy and reduced deaths is laughable. Which G8 country has had more deaths and economic collapse because they followed the science? The economies of all the E.U. nations are doing fine, yet they all have less death per capita than the U.S. except the U.K. which is right there with us and also ignoring the science. What metric would you like to use to support your claim? Some anecdotal stories don’t add up to 200,000 and counting.
Daniel Roig what is wrong with people that resort to ‘you can always move to another country’ when they feel they are defending the indefensible. That is just stupid. I was born here, I served in the military here. I worked and retired here. I think I will just stay here, if it is alright with you. South Korea has 1/6 our population and 377 deaths. 377x6=2262. Why do we have 100 times that amount? Because South Korea developed a testing and tracing program in the beginning. Our President lied to us for months and only when he was falling behind in the polls did he start to emphasize testing a little bit. How do we know he lied? He is ON TAPE. His own words. And yet, he still tweets out that it is fake news. Unbelievable that folks believe anything out of his mouth at this point. As far as the EU death rate being higher, uh no. www.gzeromedia.com/the-graphic-truth-are-new-us-covid-deaths-surging-vs-eu
Daniel Roig I think it was ridiculous when folks said they would leave the country if Obama won and it is equally ridiculous when they said it about Trump. I voted for Ronald Reagan 4 times (Governor and President) and when Trump was elected I admit I wasn’t happy. As a veteran I make it a point to never vote for a draft dodger, but that is just my thing. Even so, I said then that our system of government is greater than any one man. I held hope that the office would help Trump to become a leader. As time went by I slowly lost hope. It began when many people reported him saying the White House was a dump. I have come to believe he is a narcissist incapable of empathy or acting outside his own interests. When he ordered a military attack from his dinner table without proper military guidance and lives were lost I became dismayed and sad. When he pulled out of Syria without proper preparations resulting in the deaths of many of our allies in the region and we had to bomb our own base to keep equipment from falling into Russian hands I became angry. His taunting of Gold and Blue Star families is reprehensible. His lies about large pay raises for the military and improved health care options are just more reasons I don’t like him. My 401k did very well under Obama and it continued under Trump, but people not fortunate enough to have excess income to put into the stock market are not doing that well under Trump. More people are working, largely due to cuts in unemployment benefits, but at lower paying jobs and temporary jobs without health and other benefits. The factory I retired from doubled the number of temporary employees (by reducing the permanent staff) in the last couple years before COVID. Low unemployment does not tell the whole story, and I read recently that due to calculation errors the number wasn’t even as low as had been reported.
Daniel Roig usually the Republican gets huge support from the military and Trump did OK in 2016, no surprise, but here is the latest poll by The Military Times: www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/08/31/as-trumps-popularity-slips-in-latest-military-times-poll-more-troops-say-theyll-vote-for-biden/ Not that good for el Presidento.
What a good interview 👍
Sir Bob Woodward. Such a level headed factual man! 👍🙂
Bob Woodward is not making this up because he has questioned Donald J. Trump. I do believe is that in Bob Woodward’s view, Donald J. Trump is worse than Richard Nixon.
My gosh, Woodward was right
Never ceases to shock.
Wait for the last sentence of this interview. It's appalling.
If they ever make a movie about this, they should get John Malkovich to play Bob Woodward
Instincts habits and style equals denial distortion and deletion
Daniel Roig ;) ain’t he slick
I always take the woman's side but there's something not right about her.
@Daniel Roig Reade's credibility is completely blown which is why even the Trump campaign has stopped mentioning her.
A 28yr old doctor in Houston died of covid19 on Saturday!! She was in her 2nd year as a ob/gyn doctor! THIS IS NOT OK!!!!
Today, August 9, 2024......and I wonder how ANYONE would vote for Trump. His ineptitude cost American lives.
Isn't that the ultimate negligence? But then again, we've become used to his inability to tell the truth.
“You really drank the Kool-Aid” wow.
I’m tired of the fake president. We need to get him out of there in November.
And replace them with whom fake Joe Biden? That's very logical. Especially when his son gets $500,000 a month from foreign countries and and a billion dollar sign bonus from China for energy.. but hey who's counting you're all worried about Trump's tax return when you got crooks already living in the oval office! Duh!
@@yodead369 Biden isn 't perfect.. but he's not Trump. ( By the way, Trump needs to turn in those tax returns)
@@discojelly all right he needs to turn those in... but I want to see bidens itemized deductions from his unsubsidized China deals!

He wanted to downplay Covid & the real reason (he’s lying to Woodward about why) is so he could continue his Hitler rallies and take in $$ at his convention center hotels.
Satan is called the Prince of Lies. Trump is the King of Lies
Trump is criminally complicit in the deaths of most of the 200,000 American CoVid victims. He has admitted on tape "playing down" his response to the pandemic instead of taking decisive action. The charge is negligent homicide. Trump is not far removed from Stalin and Hitler in his callous disregard for life.
If you can't trust Bob Woodward...who can you trust !
I just want to do one question please , is this or is this not a crime against a country and is people?
Bob Woodward is a journalistic hero
Arguing with a Trump supporter is like an Atheist arguing with a Religious person. No one is going to convince the other one otherwise.
Chinese officials didn't restrict information. They let WHO and the rest of the world know about this as soon as they were able to verify it.
"Making up his own facts" There's a word for that. Yes, "lying" :D
This man does not care about any Americans he only cares about him self ......

What does that mean? "We didn't get you on this book but we'll get you on the next one..."
He assumed he would be elected again.
Just out of curiousity: there is an interview part (6:50) in which you hear Woodward say something like: ‘Hold on, mr. President, I’m putting my recorder on.’ So who was recording that?
Woodward is telling President Trump that this conversation is "on the record", meaning it's recorded. He already had the recorder on prior to Trump picking up the phone.
ckaz007 That’s the point. He can’t have, because Trump called him ‘out of blue’, like Woodward says right before.
