How Woodward’s Book Differs from Michael Wolf’s

Bob Woodward was asked by Olivia Nuzzi whether he found Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolf to be as credible book as his own, Fear: Trump in the White House.

Said Woodward: “I mean, as they say, I think it got the sociology largely right. The relationships and so forth. But 50 years from now what’s going to be important about the Trump presidency is what he does or doesn’t do. And if I’m right, as I believe I am, it’s a nervous breakdown.”

He elaborated: “Things are not connected. There is not … there is impulse, decisions. I think that the most ardent Trump supporter could read the book and not feel comfortable about the management and the staying the course. There’s not a team. You know, it’s a team of predators, or people who just disagree with the president.
