BOBBEE BEE: THE POLITICS OF FEAR

THE POLITICS OF FEAR
Nearly 3,000 people were killed on September 11, 2001, when planes hijacked by jihadists hit the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field near Shanksville, PA, hurling America into a new consciousness of the threat of global terrorism.
With that knowledge, Bob Woodward is scheduled to release his new book FEAR: Trumps In The White House on the Anniversary of 9/11.
Woodward’s forthcoming book, published by Simon & Schuster, draws on “hundreds of hours” of interviews, along with notes, files and diaries to evoke the “harrowing life” within the Trump administration.
“Fear is the most intimate portrait of a sitting president ever published during a president’s first years in office,” one source told CNN. “It will give readers a front row seat to Trump and his time in the White House,” the source added. “You are in the Oval office, the Situation Room, Air Force One and the White House residence. You are face to face with Trump and the book documents detailed conversations, meetings, policy debates and critical decisions.”
Woodward’s title appears to reference a remark from a Trump interview that he conducted with colleague Robert Costa.
When asked if he concurs with then-President Barack Obama’s definition of power — “[getting] what you want without having to exert violence” — Trump expanded on the definition. “Well, I think there’s a certain truth to that… Real power is through respect,” he said, adding, “Real power is, I don’t even want to use the word: ‘Fear.’” (Source:Breitbart) (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)
