Our current president has been getting a lot of press and media attention for controversial actions every day, but when a disparaging exposure of his actions becomes a bestseller within days, it makes one wonder what’s really going on within the White House walls.

Published on September 11 (clearly an intentional move), Fear: Trump in the White House could be a revelation to the public about what is really going on in the White House.

The author, Bob Woodward, has been a huge name in the journalistic world for years and even in the real world. Woodward was one of two journalists for the Washington Post that helped break the Watergate scandal in 1972. Since then he has been a top dog in the journalistic world and has been generally accepted as a trustworthy and reliable source of news and information, especially about the political world.

In the new book, Woodward speaks to government officials and employees within the White House itself to gather an accurate depiction of what life under President Trump is really like.

Woodward’s reputation as a journalist is of a man who informs the public about what they need to know in order to know what is going on in their government. If the book’s inflammatory depiction of President Trump is accurate, Woodward is living up to the public’s expectations of him in a big way.
