Corralling the boss

The new book by Bob Woodward about Trump’s White House, Fear, claims that aides routinely swipe papers off his desk to prevent Trump from reading them and signing them.

President Donald Trump’s closest aides have taken extraordinary measures in the White House to try to stop what they saw as his most dangerous impulses, going so far as to swipe and hide papers from his desk so he wouldn’t sign them, according to a new book from legendary journalist Bob Woodward.

I don’t have any difficulty believing this because …

  1. Woodward is well-connected and generally trustworthy, and …

  2. We’ve all heard things similar to this over the past year, and …

  3. I’ve privately speculated that something along these lines must be going on because, you know, Donald Trump is emotionally unstable and an ignoramus.

I’ve already pre-ordered my copy.
