Woodward reports a disturbing pattern: "[Trump] won't face what's real...[when confronted with a disturbing fact, Trump replies] I don't want to hear it...he will say, 'I've had [these ideas] for 30 years, they're right and if you disagree, you're wrong.'"
The Woodward book makes clear that Trump is running from demons. He's fearful of the Mueller investigation and grouses about it every day. As a result of the recent tell-all books he's become less trusting of his staff. He has few friends in the White House. He's tormented.
Woodward quotes one of Trump's ex-aides: "This was no longer a presidency. This is no longer a White House. This is a man being who he is."
