Asked what is real power, Trump responded that real power is fear. “It was almost like Hamlet in Shakespeare,” Woodward shivered.
“It’s his way of scaring the bejeezus out of people,” the Washington Post associate editor explained.
“People ask why Republicans fall in line behind him. They fear him,” chimed in Maher.
“The country fears him, so the world fears him,” Woodward added. “The fear has worked,” he said, calling this administration a “governing crisis” created by a Potus “gambling with who we are and what the country is.
