I read this shortly after receiving it, and forgot to write a review at that time. Therefore, I don't remember details as much as I'd like.

Woodward interviewed Trump many times for this book, and he presents many of those conversations verbatim. It gives us insight into how Trump was thinking and how he saw himself. Trump is not given to introspection. I suspect, though, that somewhere inside he knows he is a fuckup. That knowledge is buried deep under layers of self-talk about how great he is, so it's unlikely he is conscious of those deep inner thoughts.

I found it interesting, highly readable, and revealing.
