But the excerpts are so explosive and so damning to the president that Trump has felt the need to deny everything and impugn the writer. That's not easy to do when dealing with Woodward, who literally has tapes of everything that was said to him, and comes to this process with nearly fifty years of credibility. (Oh, and by the way, he's a Republican).
When I heard about the book my first thought was "How is this going to be covered on Fox News?" I think Brit Hume's tweet below is a glimpse into the coverage...
Woodward’s accounts of chaos and dysfunction in the Trump WH suggest he has been repeatedly restrained by advisers from his most reckless impulses. And to think there are never-Trumpers on the right who think good people should not serve this president. Good thing they do.

Okey doke. It's the never Trumpers who are to blame here, apparently, not the people who voted for this mess. Of course, if you read between the lines in this tweet, Hume is admitting the president is nuts.
