Fear - Updated



Should Donald Trump be afraid of Bob Woodward? Sounds like it:

In the worldwide capital of leaks and anonymous dishing that is Washington, secrets can be almost impossible to keep.

But somehow over the past 19 months, the fact that America’s most famous investigative journalist was quietly chipping away at a book that delves into the dysfunctions of President Trump’s White House remained largely unknown. On Monday night, that veil of secrecy will be lifted when Simon & Schuster plans to announce that it will publish “Fear: Trump in the White House” by Bob Woodward on Sept. 11, according to a copy of the release obtained by The Washington Post.

In the book, Woodward’s 19th, the 75-year-old journalist and author “reveals in unprecedented detail the harrowing life inside President Donald Trump’s White House and precisely how he makes decisions on major foreign and domestic policies,” the publisher’s release states. (From an article at the Washington Post, read it here.)

Woodward's book comes out in six weeks, but we only have to wait two weeks for Omarosa's version of life inside the Trump White House, it comes out August 14:


Woodward's book is more prestigious and will almost certainly be better written, but I'm betting Omarosa's will be juicier. Unless, of course, she's bound by Non-Disclosure Agreements and can't really dish the dirt. Still, her publisher apparently thinks she's got something interesting to spill. 

Two books about life inside the Trump White House. I'll make the popcorn... 

Thursday morning update: I'm on the library waiting list for Unhinged. I admit I'm curious to see what Omarosa has to say and I assume the book will drop with a big splash, especially if she really does have new (and credible) stories to tell.
