Woodward didn't have to have clandestine meetings in parking ramps or spend months chasing down leads, and it's clearly not Woodward who's doing the fading.

Agreeing to 18 interviews with Bob Fucking Woodward, the guy who took down a president, has to have been one of the most spectacular political own-goals in American history.

And Trump is a very boring fellow. So, a boring book. (As if Trump read it or any part of it.)

Kellyanne Mulvaney and Pence. Some other youngish guy - Deere?

Trump had pictures of different events and other items all over the desk.

Woodward told CNN’s Jamie Gangil (she’s their point on this) that he has interviewed Carter, Reagan, Clinton, W, Obama and he’s never seen anything on the desk. Basically it was a show.
