"Read the Woodward book" is the new atttack meme on the President

I've heard the talking heads like Bennett say it on TV and trolls are saying it on FB etc ad nausea.

If they can only point to it and can't specifically sum up the points they think are pertinent from "the Woodward book" then:

1. it's not a point of fact in a debate.

2. it's a smokescreen and diversion because they're stuck

3. most tellingly, they probably didn't even read it themselves

This isn't multiple choice, all three apply.

An ineffectual leader who caves to the extremists in his party. That book?

Cons are giving it 5 star reviews on Amazon like they did for the Douchesoozle book & movie - with their hyperbole and bullshit. What's interesting though, is usually cons seem to dominate the book ratings and voting reviews up or down. In this case, many of the 5-star (president has to go!) reviews have been voted overwhelmingly "not helpful." It's usually the other way around, with cons all ganging up "liking" each others reviews.

He has also long-been rumored to be connected to the CIA and intelligence community.

There are a lot of things about his background that the average member of the public doesn't know.
