Bob Woodward of the Washington Post, whose reporting helped bring down President Richard Nixon, writes that "top aides were said to steal papers off the president's desk so he couldn't end trade deals."
And he didn't even realize the papers were missing!!
In the book, chief of staff John Kelly is quoted as saying of Mr. Trump: "He's an idiot. It's pointless to try to convince him of anything. He's gone off the rails. We're in crazy town."
Defense Secretary James Mattis told close associates "his commander in chief acted like, and had the understanding of "a fifth or sixth grader."

In Woodward's telling, the president's aides fear not what he might do to them, but what he might do to the country.
His then-chief economic adviser Gary Cohn and White House staff secretary Rob Porter stole one document withdrawing from a free trade agreement with South Korea off the president's Oval Office desk so he couldn't sign it.
Porter spent about a third of his effort keeping the president from acting on impulses, such as his belief the U.S. is being taken to the cleaners.

Put trump in a straightjacket and lock him up already! Anyone else would be in jail already. Do the same to his vulgar kids.

Per CNN:
(CNN)President Donald Trump, showing his outrage over Bob Woodward's explosive new book, is ordering a real witch hunt in the West Wing and throughout his administration, asking loyal aides to help determine who cooperated with the book.
"The book is fiction," Trump said Wednesday in the Oval Office alongside the Emir of Kuwait.Even as the President publicly fumes, he's privately on a mission to determine who did -- and didn't -- talk to Woodward, CNN has learned.
