Bob Woodward's book "Fear" portrays a White House in "nervous breakdown"

Bob Woodward's new book "Fear: Trump in the White House" detailed a chaotic administration where aides stole papers from Trump's desk to prevent him from signing dangerous orders and called him an "idiot" and "unhinged." Trump denounced the book as "lies and phony sources," but it provided corroborating details of the internal dysfunction and danger posed by his leadership style.

"He's an idiot. It's pointless to try to convince him of anything. He's gone off the rails. We're in Crazytown." — John Kelly in 'Fear', published September 11, 2018
