Trump: Woodward book is an 'assault against me,' I'll 'write the real book'

President Trump took to Twitter on Monday and slammed Bob Woodward’s new book.

“The Woodward book is a Joke – just another assault against me, in a barrage of assaults, using now disproven unnamed and anonymous sources. Many have already come forward to say the quotes by them, like the book, are fiction. Dems can’t stand losing. I’ll write the real book!” Trump wrote.

Since the release of the damning excerpts by multiple media outlets, Trump has posted numerous tweets in an attempt to discredit the book.

“The Woodward book is a scam,” Trump tweeted last week. “I don’t talk the way I am quoted. If I did I would not have been elected President. These quotes were made up. The author uses every trick in the book to demean and belittle. I wish the people could see the real facts – and our country is doing GREAT!”

“Isn’t it a shame that someone can write an article or book, totally make up stories and form a picture of a person that is literally the exact opposite of the fact, and get away with it without retribution or cost. Don’t know why Washington politicians don’t change libel laws?” Trump wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning.

In his book, Woodward says that his research included “hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand participants.”

The New York Times notes, the book “portrays a White House with relentless infighting and a work culture so toxic and volatile that many of President Trump’s top advisers and cabinet members became accustomed to working around their boss, whom they described as unstable and uninformed.”

“Fear: Trump in the White House,” which will be officially released on Tuesday, has already made the Amazon’s bestseller list.
