His ego almost certainly convinced him he could outwit Woodward and come away from recorded conversations the clear winner. The main problem is that he's not in his preferred venues of real estate wheeling and dealing, or stiffing contractors, or fleecing some rubes. His opponents are as persistent as he is, and he can't just bullshit his way out of his own words or wear us down with his intransigence. He is, at long last, being called to account, and he's not doing a very good job of it.

Why would he read a book about a loser like Nixon?

Nixon got caught, so that marks him as a loser.

Donnie is smarter, planning not to get caught!

He is also planning to live forever, and win the next election. (He must think that way, being a 'loser' is too painful to contemplate!)

Meanwhile, 'loser' and 'sucker' labels are thrown around with wild abandon by Donnie himself.

(I personally don't blame Donnie, he is not-of-sane-mind, but I do blame his many enablers, who - somehow - saw him as some sort of gravy train on the path to riches and glory.)

Incredibly lucky too. So far.

True, he also had a bunch of enablers and a base of supporters every bit as stupid as he is or stupider that makes up a good third of the country.

from a street light by his genitals - I will grant you that.

I guess they don't make strong enough fine thread to hold the weight of a 300+ pound person.

As at least one commentator noted on one of MSNBC's shows today, Trump is so sure of his own 'smarts' and charm that he probably thought he could convince Woodward of his brilliance, and get a nice result. He's gotten away with this BS of being able to talk his way out bad situations his whole life, doing it again? No prob!! Some people like to think that he's is some sort of evil genius choreographing this whole thing so that he eventually comes out on top, to which I say, yes, he's cunning like a fox, but he's still as dumb as a box of rocks. Cunning and smart are not the same thing. Now that he's brought his BS onto the national stage, he gets so much more scrutiny than he did with his little slum lord persona in NYC. And we've been witnessing it since 2017. The BS and lies do eventually catch up to someone like him - he should have never rode down that elevator. Sen. McCaskill has publicly had him pegged for several months now. And this toon sums it up nicely - is he an effing idiot? (18 taped interviews in the few months just before an election?) In a word, YES.

he runs to Hannity so he can slobber out a con about caring for the people. Hannity plays along. You see, Hannity''s just like the Boy Dictator. He's only in it for the money. They get rich on one another's grift.
