Journalist Bob Woodward tells John Dickerson, 'Trump was the wrong man for the job,' as he discusses his collection of recorded interviews, 'The Trump Tapes,' what the audio reveals about the fmr. pres., and his belief that Trump is 'dangerous.'

For nine months back in 2020, when the phone rang at Bob Woodward's Georgetown home, there was a good chance it was a call he didn't want to miss:Woodward noted,"The phone would ring; is it a robocall, or is it Trump?"

Woodward told CBS News' John Dickerson,"In many ways it's the missing piece of the Trump story. We've heard a lot of Trump. He's said a lot. But what did heWoodward has written about the calls, but hearing Trump in his own voice, he believes, is enlightening:"I've reported on this in the book I did, 'Rage.' But I then went back and listened to these tapes and said, 'My God, there is a whole new Trump that emerges.

Dickerson asked,"He says about the North Korean leader, 'If he shoots, he shoots.' How did you react to that?" But a presidency based on personality was overmatched by COVID-19. What Woodward called one of the most stunning moments of his 50 years of reporting was learning that on January 28, 2020, just days after the first COVID-19 case was confirmed in the United States, Trump's national security adviser Robert O'Brien had given him a grave warning:

When Woodward learned about that disconnect between what the president knew and what he said, he asked Trump why he didn't sound the alarm:Woodward:"Was there a moment in all of this, last two months, where you said to yourself, 'Ah, this is the leadership test of a lifetime'?"Woodward told Dickerson,"When you hear this voice and the way he assesses situations and himself, he's drowning in himself.

Woodward:"Everyone says Trump is going to stay in the White House if it's contested. Have you thought ..."

Bob Woodward’s audiobook, The Trump Tapes, identifies 3 personality traits about Trump. (1) He is bi-sexual and was sexually attracted to the North Korean butcher Kim Jong Un; (2) He is mentally unfit to be the POTUS; and (3) Now one can only imagine the dirt Putin has on Trump!

What else would you expect from Woodward” a Political Hack !

Nobody cares about Woodwards biased opinion…

Of course, because Woodward is a puppet of the left, just like CBS, with the emphasis on the BS.

And does Woodward think Biden is the right man? He's become a biased hack.

Thank you for the Trump Tapes. The bellicose voice of President Trump tells inquiring minds all they need to know.

Dangerous to the deep state, establishment and corrupt democrat media! That’s why he’ll win again

Trump is way better than the poor man with dementia installed as president now.

Understatement of the century.

I don't need the tapes to prove to me that he was and is dangerous for the USA.

We've got him now!

WE ALL KNOW CBS HATES DJT. NO ONE IS LISTENING!

NO KIDDING. Is CBS waking up to that fact yet NOPE. You're still 'both siding' Americans, downplaying what's happening, bitching about Biden at every turn. You're NOT going to like having NO free press, believe me.

This ABC new producer is still missing after Biden’s FBI raided his home.

it was known that they would attack Trump's harshly and that he has to prepare I know why those are false accusations again and that voice is from a double the government does not know what to do to destroy Trump's they spend millions of sums for destruction publicly with the

Bwhahahaha.......media is the dangerous ones.

Blame Ukraine on Pedophile Creepy Biden

We miss Trump, look at the disaster Puppet in the White House now, Trump won by 30 million votes ,Biden cheated , we all know it ,watch the Movie 2000 Mules, it was the biggest political scam in history

I don't understand how trump has ANY business how the Penn. election results turn out! It's NONE of HIS business how the results turn out...just the people of Penn.

While Trump was in office the US had a booming economy, immigration was under control, crime was in check and people could afford to eat and drive their cars. Now inflation is the highest its ever been, energy prices arw out if control & we are on the brink of Nuclear. Armegeddon

Woodward is completely non bias. Right.

Woodward is a Democratic operative

How is it we need Bob Woodward to utter the obvious for it to be news? Trump was a danger to democracy in 2015

Trump was the best thing that happened to our Country. Under Biden we’d all be dead when Covid hit.

Duh

🙄

'Orange Man Bad.' Come on, People. Getting old. Really old!

It’s true, the world believes that T is dangerous

Bob Woodward still trying to be relevant. Made a life long career off watergate.

KPIXtv Many of us knew he was wrong man for the job, & also dangerous. Many of his NY peers knew too. Survivors of Hitler’s regime also knew. He was elected probably bc of his bluster & celebrity as his cult couldn’t see beyond their noses! Still wrong man for job, & still dangerous!

And yet, will this change the hearts and minds of any MAGA hat wearing folks? I doubt it. He can say or do whatever he wants. They’ll drink the Kool-Aid.

Woodward has turned out to be one the most politically biased reporters in the history of united states. What a disgrace.

DT is clearly a criminal who is and has been mentally unstable right from childhood.

Best economy, no wars, energy independence. I will take that over what the illegitimate regime is doing to us today. Woodward sound dangerous.

You all are letting this man continue to live in your head rent free.

KPIXtv

KPIXtv Trump is the greatest President in World History.

BRAVO👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽 BOB WOODWARD‼️ JOURNALIST SAVING OUR DEMOCRACY WITH TRUTH & RECEIPTS. VOTE BLUE💙💙2O22 MIDTERMS💙 AMERICA DEPENDS ON IT💙💙💙💙

In other news: Water is wet! Who, at this point, doesn't understand that Donald Trump is as successful of a criminal as there has ever been? Shit, if you press his supporters just a little bit they will even own up to that - it's what they like about him.

😂😂😂. But you see NO need to report Hunter and the ENTIRE JoeBiden family for their corrupt dealings that compromise our Nation. You are a joke!

The cult already knows Trump is a terrible man. They love that about him. This won’t sway them. They’ll cheer his narcissism.

Why is Bob Woodward the authority? Trump is no more dangerous than the Biden Administration!

Bob Woodward the guy who shares his stories after the damage is done instead of before and trying to save lives and democracy. But better late than never I guess

Lmao. Bob is trying to go back to his glory days. Poor guy used to have credibility

Holy moly! What a fresh take. Can’t believe no one has thought of Trump as a villain before

Pleasant music, instead of the crazy world.

Why Because He Stands Up For The Little People In America ?

There is no question he was the wrong man for the job. I think he just ran for president on a whim and ended up winning. Had no idea how to handle the job responsibilities.

TDS alive and well throughout the media. Biden’s presidency has been an utter disaster. Open borders, huge inflation, Putin invades Ukraine, Afghanistan disaster, China threatens its neighbors and media still scared of Trump

Jeah Not Surprise? Don't Let his past fooled you, Not the first time the DOJ going asther 'Dumpster' Org. he is Dangerous...

Wrong man for the job is an understatement.

RuthSorbello Really Bob

TDS

Republicans are a threat to democracy!

More liberal bullshit.

If only he released the recordings the very next day

Yeeeeah. How is this something he’s just learning?

The feckless Biden enslaves a nation of women and can’t de-escalate a potential nuclear war. Yeah it’s Trump that’s dangerous. Holy fuck.

Scoop! Captain Obvious and Bob Woodward are the same person!

Bob Woodward will pawn any story to make a fast dollar on Emotions. It will be like his other trash can liners in 3 months.

Imagine suing someone for things you actually said and claiming what you said was not what you said

Get ready for screaming at the sky to be a thing again in a couple of years!

81 million people already knew. TrumpIsACriminal

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Woodward is an icon for a reason. Trump hookwinked Forbes but that won't work with Woodward.

God bless Trump

This story never ends.

I heard the tapes. Trump poured out his rage at everyone and everything in the world and his 'absolute love and respect' for tyrants. Woodruff heard it all and determined that Trump was dangerous and sick.

He is also a garbage human.

Who cares Bob is has been

There's a reason Putin kept supporting him. He is basically our Putin. Same political beliefs. Same complete disregard for anyone else. Constantly stealing. No quarrel at all with trying to rig elections to keep power.

trump is DANGEROUS 💯‼️‼️‼️

So Hilary would have been better?

Why did Trump ever think he could trust Bob Woodward.

Trump exposed the Fake News for what it is, an arm of the Marxist Democrat propaganda machine. Trump exposed the DOJ and FBI as stooges of the Marxist Democrats. Trump exposed the RINOs and all the other 2 faced politicians for what they are- self dealing America last grifters

Thanks Bob for knowing he was dangerous and not telling the rest of us until his term was over!!! What if he'd have won in 2020? Would we still be waiting? 🤬🤬🤬

Extremely enlightening article 😳

I’ll take “stating the obvious for $200”…

How can one man be that Powerful…When Hate for a person makes you feel Self righteous in destroying yourself and everyone around you.

Bob Woodward..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Trump did a good job with N. Korea, and keeping Putin from invading Ukraine. Maybe Joe is more dangerous?

Still better than current guy in White House
