Widespread outrage ensued - some aimed at Trump, some aimed at Woodward himself for not publishing this apparently newsworthy material months ago. Woodward taped these comments from Trump, and CNN published excerpts of the tapes in the lead-up to the September 15 release of the new book, Rage. Then, as the virus ravaged New York City in mid-March, Trump told Woodward that he had wanted to “play it down.” In early February, Trump privately told Woodward that the new coronavirus was “more deadly” than the flu, and that it “goes through air” - as he was publicly suggesting that the virus was similar to the flu. This time around, though, the headline-grabbing news isn’t from highly placed anonymous sources, but rather from comments that President Donald Trump made to Woodward, on the record, over the course of 18 interviews. I don't know if that's an asset or a liability, but whatever it is, I do.It’s a Washington tradition for a presidential administration to be roiled by a new book from legendary journalist Bob Woodward.

"Real power is, I don't even want to use the word, fear," Trump told Woodward and Costa in March 2016. That interview served as the inspiration for both titles of Woodward's earlier books. It's unclear whether Trump agreed to give Woodward and Costa interviews for the upcoming book, but the pair had sat down with Trump on the campaign trail during the 2016 presidential election. Trump declined to sit down for an interview with Woodward for "Fear," but he gave the journalist unprecedented access for "Rage," granting 18 free-ranging interviews, some in-person and many over the phone. "Rage," which came out last year, took readers inside the Oval Office during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, confirming that Trump understood how contagious and deadly the virus was long before the American people were made aware. Woodward's first book on Trump, 2018's "Fear," detailed the measures taken by top officials and White House aides to prevent what they saw as a president unhinged, unable to control his own impulses, and unaware of how much danger his rash decisions could bring. According to a description from the publisher, the book will stretch into the early months of the Biden presidency. This time, the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist is working with Robert Costa of The Washington Post for an extensive look into the end of the Trump presidency and its transition to the Biden administration. The title of the book has not yet been announced, but CNN has learned that it will be published on September 21 by Simon & Schuster, which published Woodward's first two bestsellers on the former president. Legendary investigative journalist Bob Woodward has already covered fear and rage within the Trump White House, and soon, he will release a third book on Donald Trump's final days in office.
