Trump drives consultants to despair

washington - Close associates of US President Donald Trump keep a devastating image of their boss. According to CNN, this appears from the new book by journalist Bob Woodward, who spoke with dozens of sources surrounding the president.

CNN won a copy of Woodward's book yet to be published, famous for his role in the Watergate scandal. Insiders told the journalist that close associates even stole documents from the presidential office to prevent Trump from facing them.

'He is an idiot. It's pointless trying to convince him of something, 'Chief of Staff John Kelly said during a meeting. 'I do not know what we are doing here. This is the worst job I have ever had. 'Minister James Mattis (Defense), in his turn, let slip that Trump has the insight of a primary school student.

Another striking revelation revolves around the research of special prosecutor Robert Mueller. The then lawyer of Trump, John Dowd, told his client that he would end up in a 'prisoner's suit' if he made a statement with the Mueller team. The lawyer would have seen Trump's alleged mendacity as a big problem.
