Journalist Bob Woodward recounts how his new reporting and extensive interviews with Pres. Trump led him to conclude that Trump fails to grasp a fundamental truth: The “President has a moral responsibility to the larger public.” Instead, Woodward says Trump is “always thinking about himself” in how he makes decisions in office – a shortcoming that is more fundamental than any ideological or policy critiques of Trump. Woodward also discusses why Jared Kushner likened surviving this White House to being the Cheshire Cat in “Alice in Wonderland,” and Trump’s reliance on former foe Lindsey Graham, in this interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 09/25/2020.

Trump's Fear And Rage Exposed: Bob Woodward On Trump’s Mentality And Lies | MSNBC
Donald Trump is killing this country
@Jessica actually it’s the Russians who are backing Trump that’s trying to destroy the country. I wonder how much he’s going to pay the Kremlin to try to win this year.
You people have been circle jerking for 4 years and have literally no clue.
You are the most uninformed over informed people that ever walked this earth.
@N 827 Yeah, like he & the GOP won in 2018. They won soooo much it got him impeached & found guilty 2X of fraud costing him over 26 Million dollars in fines & damages in addition to the cases LOST in federal court. We will see his taxes & the Mueller report will be seen unredacted. This is not winning, Einstein…..it’s just kicking the can down the road & the road is running out.🤡
@ChantYip Because Biden does not need a room full of people cheering and stroking his ego so that he can do what he was elected to do.
Killing us one rally at a time.
Trump is a deranged madman.
BC stargazer
Without any help from Mrs T, probably had to use both of his tiny hands 🤣
@Marvalee Nain Billy Bob is a troll. Also goes by @William H Music 2020 and @The tweadles. He’s also a homophobe.
Just like his idol Hitler.
💩🇺🇸
rob young …do not believe trump is deranged…he is evilly clever..every nuance he practices is totally planned with the help of lackeys..he cannot do what he plans without aid..vote them out along with trump…🇨🇦🇨🇦
Trump is a weak scared shallow child.
@N 827 so you want a dictatorship too? North Korea beckons.
Amen!
Oh, really? He just made a peace treaty between Israel and the Arabs, something no president could do. He is building the wall. He lowered taxes, got us out of that corrupt paris accord, cut off aid to all countries who hate us, stop funding planned parenthood, gave out the stimulus to Americans, and much, much more. You are brainwashed with lies and hate.
@Sakurakuro Whoa—- Don’t click on links posted by commenters here. Most of the time it’ll be okay, but not always…. It’s risky!
He’s possessed dam it !
Instead of another cautionary tale of what a monster Trump is, can we get a book on how to get rid of this human case of Herpes? Is there some kind of lotion?
@wee huddy
You tell us about Moscow Mitch. He’s a perfect example of the Republicans who let trump happen.
@Ted Ecker
Your credibility is strained when you don’t even know the name of the person you’re insulting.
@S Alighanbari
Epstein may have been the only friend he ever had.
@Karen Shaub
That is why they need to find him another one to get him out of the house then shut doors on him !
Sure…just get the C.I.A. to do what they did to Kennedy (who DIDN’T deserve a coupe), and it’s problem solved. Voting won’t do it this time. He has enough supporters to believe anything he says…and they’re walking around with rifles. Dictators get eliminated, by forces within…or by the people.
Trump is a shameless con
@Jon DGAF You are too far gone. Good luck with your delusional brain.
@Jon DGAF 20 to life?
@Sehara Jon is a putin puppet troll
@Sehara Both sides are f@cking brainwashed. The Trump supporters at least have some common sense left unlike you fools who still believe one thing coming out of MSNBC. Even dumber than OAN circle jerkers.
@John Buick Sure…Because Trump supporters are not on YouTube. You people are too dumb to grasp
American idealism… Blinded by bling. A useless man called Trump.
Right on vote him out nov 3
Nope. He absolutely DID use those words *_final solution_* and love him or hate him, but he is not a stupid man, he used those words for a reason, IMO he wants genocide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNiuaKKEPu8&feature=youtu.be&t=147
I wouldn’t call him a man.
We need a President who can return us to American exceptionalism.
Doing the job Hitler didn’t get Grandpa Trump to do via the KKK. So Donny filling the position.👷🇺🇸
Donald Trump is in this for himself; he doesn’t give a dam about the American People.
If that is true then how come President Trump has done so much good for us? It’s the democrats who are lying to the people and trying to cover their crimes under obama.
@Vin G You are so lost my friend. Do you have any idea what Biden and Harris have in-store for your life. If you work and have a job, house, toys you are in for a rude awaking.
No poloitians care about us, not one, and anyone that thinks they do is a fool..
@Margaret Nicol
I read your comment and thought about the animated ‘Beauty and the Beast, where she picks up the magic mirror and says, “Show me the Beast.” The Duffer Don appears.
Really thinking about it his mental disease must be pretty severe, because to my knowledge people know when they are making themselves look stupid and untrustworthy, trump just keeps going like the whole he’s digging for himself is threatening to swallow up the Ameeican people right along with him.
He knows nothing of love and therefore cannot properly protect his self image.
He seems like making eye contact in the mirror is the only time he really sees someone that likes him.
Jokes on him, the man in the mirror doesn’t love him either.
T Rump is only part of the Problem …… His supporters are just as bad .
Trump 2020!!!
@Factsthat Hurtfeelings Perhaps this is a FACT that will hurt YOUR feelings. Trump hasn’t given you squat.
Any money you may have received came as the result of a bipartisan stimulus bill. A stimulus package that Trump had no option but to sign. Moreover, just where do you think that money came from? Taxpayers. Some who are Democrats, Republicans and Independents. In fact, the bulk of those taxes came from people who don’t vote at all.
Meanwhile, your fake benefactor has used the office of the presidency to enrich himself to a tune of nearly a Billion$. Who knows how much the rest of his grifting has amassed.
@Factsthat Hurtfeelings “He who is without sin cast the first stone”. Hint> All humans are sinners..all of us..think you are above it all? You are not..that is the issue your preaching and lecturing others but not looking in the mirror. It’s called hypocrisy and I see it every single day in “So called Christians”. I should know I grew up and was raised on “right wing Christian dogma”. Amongst the verbal and physical abuse and “emotionally toxic environment” I managed to recover and heal and learned I basically “saved my soul” by not caving to such an abusive and sick “religion” and “brainwashing”. Stop trying to save others and save yourself FIRST.
@Factsthat Hurtfeelings That was the point, “Einstein”, BOTH sides engage in the ad hominem attacks. Yet, you attempt to imply that the vitriol was solely coming from the Democrats. Geeesh, act like a tomato and…catchup.
@Barbara Roberts you are a complete weirdo!
Where are the Republican congressmen who are allowing Trump to make fools of them.
Nobody here but us chickens 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Does anybody think that, after penetrating the DNC servers and using the information gained, the Russians did the same to the RNC servers? And then gave the information to Trumpy!
Barbara we all know now high sh t can be stacked now just look at the president ( Clown )
The Republicans should feel shame abuntaly.
There are Republicans that need to step up and expose Trump. They have a responsibility to their country to expose a man that is setting us back instead of moving us forward. We are in for a civil war, and Trump is the one starting it.
Trump Playbook is simple – “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth” – Joseph Goebbels
Nazi lover Steven Miller repeats that to Dump hourly then feeds him his chicken nuggets.
Only unless ya a complete spanner that’s easily lead would belive the biggest loser and liar to ever hold an office of any standing
Neck Beard Trump is Goebbel and Adolf Hitler all in one ! True Evil Genius .
Nancy Spicoli Steven Miller. is very evil 👿 . Just. like the CCP , the dictator trump will not be questioned
This is why he is so lethal
Trump has to go. This country will not survive 4 more years under his watch.
@Lester Fukes

3/5/1770 BOSTON MA?
WE LIE ABOUT MASSACRES N STUFF.
ENEMY OF KINGS. YOU SUBJECTS TOO.
@William Soper yes there is
When he went to supreme court..they were chanting “vote him out”
So we are going to use our constitutional rights by using the ballot to do just that..
T T F N
Trumps new slogan, “vote for me so I don’t go to prison “
Trump is simply a LEACH..USES THOSE AROUND HIM FOR his desires..that’s it
We have a nice cold, hellhole at Attica Correction Facility up in the northern part of NY State waiting for him. He owes the government a mountain of money.
You will look marvellous in a orange jump suit
@Dave Schultz you’re lying Dave….you know Joe Biden didn’t say that…produce facts….problem with you Russian OOPS Republicans you’re all talk (BS).
@Jay Wolf
No there isn’t.
Trump acts like a typical loser. Attack, attack, attack falsely.
Well, I get your point but retret, retreat, retreat is more accurate.
That’s what a loser says when he has nothing. And all the left has is violence in the womb and now violence on the streets. The only problem for y’all is when the 17 million conservative gun owners enters the fray, your futures will spell death and the grave.
Gunner That’s true, a sociopath doesn’t need a puppy. He does something weird with a bible, gets scared, cries, runs into the bunker and then cries again “I wasn’t there, fake news🍼”. She’s right, this are behaviors of a typical loser. There are few saints in politics but a loser like that is a phenomenon. I’m not perfect either and also make mistakes, so join team blue my friend ! 👍🏿💙
MWM Manning hahaha how cute, a little trumper that wants to play soldier, take your meds. you look very disturbed.
guns don’t solve problems nor win wars, intelligence does and trumpers have none.
stay with your armed farmers and trailer park boys, I’ll stick to my colleagues engineers and doctors.
@MWM Manning There is no fear of death for all that have given their lives all of the wars to save our nation so little snot nosed little children run around think there are supreme.
Why is Trump still in the Whitehouse? Tyranny is unacceptable. He needs to be removed now by our government.
Trump was selected to do exactly what he’s doing.
Trump needs to go the way of the Dodo!!!
@Jon DGAF Sorry about the misinformed flop you are..
Uh…Trump IS currently a branch of our government.
They are afraid of him.
Wtf Bob. He used force for his bible photo op. One example of dozens
“NO QUID PRO QUO” with Black Voters,
IT’S TOO LATE!…..VOTE HIM OUT!”
Thankyou. We need your intelligence and your vote to kick trump out!!!
Who are black voters??? Or what is a black voter????
Trump and his cult of willfully ignorant followers have been toxic to the welfare and integrity of this country
@2be Blunt Sheep are smarter then donkeys anyways. You are the only one here voting in favor of the billionaire index!
J are you in that much denial or just completely oblivious to reality? You support Donald trump you moron.
Trump 2020
@2be Blunt Great way to avoid the point lol. What a weak donkey you are.
2be Blunt – because they’re Qanon perverted goons
Trump ONLY CARES about HIMSELF, period. No other explanation is needed.
Facts
Except you’re wrong lol. Poor sheep.
At least Trump is not off sniffing kids and telling hairy leg stories.
@Joe Sniffs Kids wow what an imagination you have is that what you think about when you lay in bed at night?
@Joe Sniffs Kids No one knows who you are going on about but at least they are not a murderer or a liar or a thief or a traitor like trump. Away with him.
Trump is enraged, he is in fear. I’m sure he’s crapping in his Depends. I think he knows he’s done for.
A normal person would think that but like his niece said, Donald is a very sick man. With that being said , he might wake up early tomorrow morning feeling refreshed and pull some other shenanigans on us.
Yes he knows.
Republicans have shown that they don’t care about facts.
@Dickie Moe75 Only Trump’s brainless cult, the rest of US care deeply!
We give Democrats facts all the time and you guys deny them. It’s the total opposite, Democrats can’t handle the truth.
@michael dasilva Blind hate? That is how you defend Sloppy Joe? Weak AF!
Dickie Moe75 yes!
@phillup bucketCome join us”Phillup Bucket” at the Polls – BLUE ACROSS THE BOARD. More Republicans are switching to BLUE as we speak.
