He was -ĭONALD TRUMP: And I'll tell you what - the heir will have to be determined. Nobody's ever been at - you know Ronald Reagan was 87. You realise that?ĭONALD TRUMP: Ninety-five per cent approval rating.
This is a new phenomenon.īOB WOODWARD: You've changed the Republican Party. Political parties usually repudiate losers but he continues to have a hold on the party. SARAH FERGUSON: Donald Trump lost the presidency, he lost the House and the Senate. I never have heard any of the 10 presidents I have written about including Nixon on his secret taping system, there is often an arrogance on the part of Nixon or other presidents, but the idea, everything is mine, it is not. What is it about Donald Trump's personality expressed in that line, "everything is mine", that sets him apart?īOB WOODWARD: Yes, that is an important question. SARAH FERGUSON: You have written books about 10 US presidents. The ideas are mine.ĭONALD TRUMP: Want to know something? Everything is mine. Usually I write them and/or substantially adjust them.ĭONALD TRUMP: Yeah, I get, I get people. What made you want to publish these audio recordings?īOB WOODWARD: This is completely different than the Trump on the printed page because you hear his voice, you hear his thunder, his kind of self, not kind of, his self-satisfaction, often his smugness, and when you hear that, it notches up in, I think, a very important way your understanding of who he is and the extent to which, quite frankly, he does not understand the job of president of the United States because he is always so focused on himself.īOB WOODWARD: The question is how did you decide, okay, I'm going to give that law and order speech?ĭONALD TRUMP: So that was an easy speech for me to write. SARAH FERGUSON: You have already published three books about Trump's presidency. The audiobook was produced by Claire McMullen.īOB WOODWARD, JOURNALIST AND AUTHOR: Thank you. Woodward has chosen this moment to release an audio collection of his exchanges with the former president. Trump is expected imminently to announce his candidacy for the next presidential election. SARAH FERGUSON: The recordings were the raw material for Woodward's three bestselling books about the Trump presidency. I'd be under a table with my thumb in my mouth, okay? If I were scared I wouldn't be doing an interview with you today. And it's scum.īOB WOODWARD: Sir, you're going to be judged by how you handle the virus.ĭONALD TRUMP: Nothing scares me. I will consider this one of my greatest achievements: getting the scum out of government.
I think Putin likes me, I think I like him. (Extract from Bob Woodward’s “The Trump Tapes”)
