In one section, Mary recalls witnessing her father pointing a rifle at their mother's head, among other childhood memories. He would never associate with the type of people who voted for him: middle-class Bible Belt Republicans. The American people are but tools for him to reach his personal goals. He wants to be the "greatest" and the "best" American president in history. Rather than working for the American people who voted for him, Mary suggests he is only out for Trump and his children, for the empire, for more power, riches, and fame. Trump, in Too Much and Never Enough, claims Trump is an unlovable, bullying, cruel, crass, racist, sociopathic fraud with delusions of grandeur. Pornstar Stormy Daniels and Playboy centerfold favorite, Karen McDougall, are unforgettable pains in the ass for Trump, and he enlists Cohen, the “fixer”, to “take care of it”. He saw Trump as a sociopathic mobster boss who would do anything to win and destroy anybody who challenged him in his quest for success.Ĭohen dumps a truck load of Trump family skeletons and then picks them up one by one to execute a meticulous show-and-tell.

Cohen boasts that he knew Trump better than his own family, and it was not a pretty sight. Michael Cohen, in Disloyal, admits he was mesmerized by Trump, like a cult member, and began to see himself breaking his moral code, and stuck with Trump for money, power, and fame.

Doubt came into play, as did elements of denial, as Trump put on his combat boots, ready to wage war not only against the virus but the Left and the Chinese who wanted to see him fail. Trump characterized the way he felt with an apt metaphor: “Dynamite behind every door.” Between a rock and a hard place, the American people's health stood on the line, and, most likely, so did his presidency. Woodward has the scoop no one else does because he interviewed Trump 17 times and climbed into his mind and thoughts over seven chaotic months. They told Trump that the coronavirus, before it could be slowed down, could scale up to the level of a Spanish flu which, in 1918, buried nearly 675,000 in America alone. Woodard gets frustrated often in his interviews with Trump, and sometimes yells at Trump and gets distressed.

Pouncing on the moment when President Trump was informed in the Oval Office that the Covid-19 pandemic would most likely become the most significant threat to national security during his presidency, best-selling author Bob Woodward has woven the story with Trump’s other challenges into an anti-Trump tirade that sometimes backfires.
