The fake news media is after Donald Trump.
They will not rest until they drive him from office.
But Trump fought back and shut down the plan to use this bombshell book to impeach him.
The Media Praises Bombshell Book About Trump
Famed Watergate journalist Bob Woodward is set to release “Fear,” which is about Donald Trump’s first year-and-a-half in office.
Of course, Woodward loaded it up with smears and anti-Trump stories.
In his book, Woodward claims that Trump’s White House staff is the only thing standing between the nation and utter disaster.
The anti-Trump reporter wrote that General Mattis ignores Trump’s orders.
He claims that Trump called Mattis and told him he wanted to assassinate Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
Assad had allegedly used chemical weapons and that angered Trump.
Mattis reportedly said, “We’re not going to do any of that. We’re going to be much more measured.”
Woodward also states that Trump’s staff steals papers from his desk to keep him from issuing disastrous orders.
Finally, Woodward reports that Chief of Staff John Kelly called Trump an “idiot.”
Donald Trump Fires Back
Trump fired back in an Oval Office interview with the Daily Caller.
He ripped the book as fake news.
Trump said Woodward slanted the facts to make him look bad.
“It’s just another bad book. He’s had a lot of credibility problems,” Trump said. “I probably would have preferred to speak to him, but maybe not. I think it probably wouldn’t have made a difference in the book. He wanted to write the book a certain way.”
Trump stated, “It’s just nasty stuff. I never spoke to him. Maybe I wasn’t given messages that he called.”
“I probably would have spoken to him if he’d called if he’d gotten through. For some reason I didn’t get messages on it,” he finished.
Trump also gave his view that Woodward made up quotes from Mattis and Kelly.
“It could be just made up by the author,” Trump explained.
The Woodward book has already been refuted and discredited by General (Secretary of Defense) James Mattis and General (Chief of Staff) John Kelly. Their quotes were made up frauds, a con on the public. Likewise other stories and quotes. Woodward is a Dem operative? Notice timing?

Media Uses Book To Push Impeachment
Anti-Trump journalists pounced on the book.
They used Woodward’s so-called “reporting” to claim Trump should not be President.
CNN’s fake news reporter Brian Stelter said the book proved Trump was not fit for office.
He wrote:
Is President Trump fit for office? With Bob Woodward’s book coming out, you can expect to hear that Q asked a lot more in the coming weeks.

If the Democrats win the House, you can expect them to use it as the proof they need to impeach Trump.
However, Trump and his team shut their plan down.
Mattis and Kelly put out their own statements denying Woodward’s reporting.
They said they never said what Woodward claimed and that the quotes were invented.

Finally, Trump blasted the book on social media.
He wrote:

Woodward’s book is more fake news.
It’s not a real account of Trump’s Presidency.
Mattis and Kelly put out strong statements denying Woodward’s reporting.
Given the media’s track record in covering Trump, Americans would be wise not to believe anything in this book.
We will keep you up to date on any new developments in this ongoing story.
