Brett Linsley’s Reviews > Fear: Trump in the White House > Status Update

A far more sympathetic portrait than I anticipated. In some ways it’s the book’s success at humanizing Trump that makes the critiques of his seemingly aimless first term foreign policy all the more damning. Struck by Woodward’s depiction of Trump’s response to Assad’s chemical terrorism in Syria which depicts the president as completely inept due to a righteous rage for the Syrian people. Fascinating.
