Bob Woodward Recalls What Donald Trump Told Him In 2016 And Why ‘We Better Be Frightened’. (Huffington Post, November 20, 2024)

"Fear and smear" is what DONALD JOHN TRUMP is all about.  Be not afraid. It's in the Bible some 106 times.  We will not be governed by fear or ignorance, or fear of ignorance.  (Bob Woodward's 2018 book about Trump in the White House was called FEAR. Bob Woodward spoke at Flagler College on April 16, 2024 and warned his audience about DJT's works and pomps, expcially his mendacious mishandling of the COVID pandemic, with a huge toll of preventable deaths).

Legendary Watergate reporter Bob Woodward on Tuesday remembered what President-elect Donald Trump once told him in 2016 about his idea of power, and explain what it could mean for Americans during Trump’s second term.

“Asked about power, what is power, and he [Trump] said ‘Real power is … I even don’t like to use the word … but real power is fear,’” Woodward recalled to CNN’s Laura Coates.

“That’s something Trump realized eight years ago, maybe all of his life, and realizes now, you have to scare people,” Woodward added.

Trump is “going to be president for four years” and “having chronicled 10 presidents going back to Nixon, they have extraordinary power and Trump’s going to use it,” Woodward said later.

“He used it his first term, maybe not adequately from his own point of view, so he’s going to use it and we better be frightened,” he added.
