A review by blairwithredhair
Rage by Bob Woodward
3.0
Woodward's book about Trump's actions and responses to the world surrounding him make so much more sense in the context of Mary Trump's Too Much and Never Enough. Woodward highlights Trump's bumbling dialogue, his insistence on being worshipped, his inability to accept anything other than metaphorical pats on the back that he is "the best."
Despite facing a once-in-a-century pandemic, Trump continued to carve out time to talk to Woodward instead of dealing with the crisis surrounding him, bragging about how great he is even as he insisted that Bob would try to portray him badly. As I currently read HR McMaster's Battlegrounds, RAGE was able to additionally frame some of the logic (or lack thereof) in Trump's foreign policies too. I found Trump's own words truly hammered home Woodward's final assessment - Trump is not the man for the job of President.
Considering this ended in mid-summer 2020, I look forward to reading Bob Woodward's upcoming collaboration with Bob Costa on the final days of Trump's presidency, as I am curious to read their take on the events of the last few months.
