Bob Woodward says he's never seen so much political strength from a former president as Trump has

2021-10-15

I've never seen such a startling contrast between ex-president and new president. Even Carter to Reagan wasn't quite this dramatic.
About to find out what the term "grabbing a pussy" means.
[Just The News] "Trump's popularity, his power in the Republican party has grown since he left office. It has not shrunk," said Woodward.

Famed journalist Bob Woodward says he's never seen a former president retain as much political strength as Donald Trump.

"What's going on now really is an iron curtain of obedience to Trump," told CNN. "It's not just polite deference, it is obedience. And it really is an iron curtain because it's so strong."

Woodward spoke after Trump's appearance at a rally Saturday night alongside Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, a mainstream Republican running for election at age 88.

"These people, like Senator Grassley, can count," Woodward said. "They can look at the polls. They go to their home states, they talk to constituents. And there's tens of millions of people who support Trump."

During the rally, Trump awarded Grassley his customary "complete and total endorsement."

Smart play actually. What better way to sell a book; find yourself and your story in solid agreement with 75,000,000 readers.

#6 Looks like Woodward has bought into the "Trump = Fascist" shtick...

#5 Woodward can be a weasel but he's dialed in, and he fears no one. He has his millions and his sources are everywhere. He doesn't need to spin anything.

#4 I believe Woodward has soiled himself. Time to change his depends.

#3
Maybe its because TRUMP actually won and a MAJORITY of AMERICA supported and voted for him.

#2 "obedience"

"iron curtain"

A strange way of saying democratic support actually means something. The party mandarins are so used to having their way that it's bizarre to have any other way.
