Judging Rage on its own terms, the book is an important contribution to documenting the Trump presidency. ![]() Rage provides additional firsthand evidence that since taking office Trump has posed a 'clear and present danger' to the people of the United States and beyond. Woodward, a daily newspaper reporter at heart, moves from one story to the next, spending little or no time offering any incisive analysis of these enablers. Woodward offers no analysis here, so readers are left to dwell on the tragedy of it all. ![]() 'Even people who believe in him somehow believe in him without believing what he says.'
