Dr. Anthony Fauci, the administration's top infectious disease expert, is quoted telling others Trump's leadership was "rudderless" and that his "attention span is like a minus number."
"His sole purpose is to get reelected," Fauci told an associate, according to Woodward.

Woodward asked about White privilege and suggested they had a responsibility to better 'understand the anger and pain' felt by Black Americans.
"No," Trump said, his voice described as mocking and incredulous. "You really drank the Kool-Aid, didn't you?"

Trump also boasted to Woodward that Kim Jong Un “tells me everything,” including a graphic account of Kim having his uncle killed.

Jim Mattis quietly went to Washington National Cathedral to pray for the nation's fate under Trump's command and, according to Woodward, told Dan Coats, "There may come a time when we have to take collective action" since Trump is "dangerous. He's unfit."
@abbydphillip
.@jamiegangel reports that Woodward did 18 interviews with Trump. In some cases Trump called Woodward late at night to talk. After complaining in the past that he wasn't sufficiently consulted on Woodward's book, Trump took the opportunity, repeatedly.

"Not to mention my fukking generals are a bunch of pussies. They care more about their alliances than they do about trade deals," Trump told White House trade adviser Peter Navarro at one point, according to Woodward.
