Journalist Bob Woodward’s book “Rage," includes new details about the president’s comments on Kim Jong Un, racial unrest and a mysterious new weapon that Trump says other world powers don’t know about. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File) WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s comments about the threat from the novel coronavirus attracted widespread attention after excerpts from journalist Bob Woodward’s book “Rage” were released. The excerpts also provide new details about the president’s thoughts on North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, racial unrest and a mysterious new weapon that Trump claims other world powers don’t know about. Some of the other topics covered in the book, which was based on 18 interviews that Woodward conducted with Trump between December and July and with others (excerpts from the book were reported by The Washington Post, where Woodward is an editor, and CNN): NORTH KOREA Woodward wrote that Trump said he was impressed with Kim when he first met the North Korean leader in Singapore in 2018 and that Kim was “far beyond smart.” Trump also said that Kim “tells me everything” and even gave the president a graphic account of how Kim had his own uncle killed. As he engaged in nuclear arms talks with Kim, Trump dismissed intelligence officials’ assessments that North Korea would never give up its nuclear weapons. Trump told Woodward that the CIA has “no idea” how to handle Pyongyang. “It takes me two days. I met. I gave up nothing,” said the president, who likened North Korea’s attachment to its nuclear arsenal to somebody who is in love with a house and “they just can’t sell it.” Kim welcomed Trump’s attention, calling the president “your excellency” in a letter. Kim wrote to Trump that he believed the “deep and special friendship between us will work as a magical force.” RACIAL UNREST In June, after federal agents forcibly removed protesters from Washington’s Lafayette Square near the White House to make way for Trump to stage a photo opportunity outside a church where he held up a bible, Trump called Woodward to boast about how he was for “law and order.” “We’re going to get ready to send in the military slash National Guard to some of these poor bastards that don’t know what they’re doing, these poor radical lefts,” Trump told Woodward, who recorded Trump. Later that month, Woodward asked the president if, as a white man, he had a responsibility to better “understand the anger and pain” felt by Black Americans. “No,” Trump replied. “I don’t feel that at all.” As Woodward pressed Trump about discrimination and inequalities suffered by Black people over the years, the president pointed to how the unemployment rate for Black Americans fell before the pandemic. When the two spoke again about race relations on June 22, Woodward asked Trump whether he thought there was systemic racism in America. “Well, I think there is everywhere,” Trump said. “I think probably less here than most places. Or less here than many places.” Asked by Woodward whether racism “is here” in the United States in a way that affects people’s lives, Trump replied: “I think it is. And it’s unfortunate. But I think it is.” MYSTERY WEAPON In discussions with Woodward about rising tensions in 2017 between the U.S. and North Korea, Trump said: “I have built a nuclear — a weapons system that nobody’s ever had in this country before. We have stuff that you haven’t even seen or heard about. We have stuff that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and (Chinese President Jinping) Xi have never heard about before. There’s nobody — what we have is incredible.” Woodward writes that sources, who spoke to him on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the U.S. military had a “secret new weapons system.” But the sources did not provide details and told Woodward, according to the book, that they were surprised Trump had disclosed it. Trump national security adviser Robert O’Brien told Fox News’ “Special Report” on Wednesday that the president did not talk about any specific weapon system. “We’re always on the cutting edge and we’ve always got something out there that our adversaries don’t know about,” O’Brien said. FORMER TOP OFFICIALS IN TRUMP ADMINISTRATION Poster Comment: When Kim stepped across the DMZ and embraced Moon, that ended the Korean War. Moon asked if he could visit a place in the north that his family considered to be a holy place. Not sure what happened to that request. North Korea was also one of three countries to not have a Rothschild central bank. That leaves two that are not in he fold, Iran and Cuba.

I am really getting tired of these works of fiction being passed off as Fact, and “The Truth”. When they tell the truth about JFK, and who REALLY killed him, along with who REALLY did 9-11, and various other reality scams, then I will start believing people like Bob Woodward, and the established Media. Telling the truth is a revolutionary act in this country right now and it is as if the elites have used enough bullets to stop the right people from telling the truth. Andrew Breitbart being one of many.
"Call Me Ishmael" -Ishmael, A character from the book "Moby Dick" 1851. "Call Me Fishmeal" -Osama Bin Laden, A character created by the CIA, and the world's Hide And Seek Champion 2001-2011. -Tommythemadartist
There is a line of thought which claims it was LBJ who was behind the killing of JFK. He is supposed to have told his mistress on the eve of the assassination, "After tomorrow I'll not be disrespected again." The Kennedy's spoke of him as though he were a country bumpkin. And then there was a poster here named Artisan who was at a Trump rally in Texas, and he was shouting at Trump, "Israel did 9-11." Trump said, "He's on our side." ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
