I Disagree with Bob Woodward

Several of my friends have contacted me in support of Bob Woodward's book about President Trump's administration; Fear, Trump in the White House.  One friend went so far as to say, "I'm to chapter 24.  Proof to a certainty, so far: Trump is dangerous, incompetent, a poorly organized mind & a personal danger to economic health.  The 25th Amendment was created with this type of nutcase in mind.  Not a matter of opinion; a matter of fact.  He very seriously needs to be gone."

The online dictionary states the meaning of the noun "treason" is "the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government."  Proof of dementia, idiocy, some mental disability, or the commission of a charegeable crime would, I believe, remove the charge of treason.  But I don't see it.

Nope, Woodward established his legacy and his agenda long before the book came out.  He promoted his anti-Trump agenda and then wrote his book to back it up.  I don't believe Donald Trump is a perfect human being, as none of us are, but his results prove he is what this nation needs right now.  Many, many backroom deals and swamp-based personal agendas are being upended and destroyed in Washington, D.C., and around the world because of Trump's business sense.  A businessman in the White House was needed just as much as we needed Harry Truman in the White House when we did.
No, I have no faith in what Mr. Woodward writes and contends.  His actions and words prior to the book's publication belie what he says in the book, and Trump's administrative staff have made that clear.  Too many of them have spoken up to say "That never happened" or "I never said that."  Woodward is selling books, not making history.
Just one man's opinion.
