Bob Woodward's upcoming book on Trump is called 'Rage': CNN Exclusive - CNNPolitics
"I bring rage out," Trump told Woodward and Costa. "I do bring rage out. I always have. I don't know if that's an asset or a liability, but whatever it is, I do."
That same 2016 interview inspired the title "Fear" for Woodward's 2018 book, when Trump said that "real power is, I don't even want to use the word, fear."
Woodward's first book on Trump made headlines detailing the extraordinary measures taken by those in his inner circle to prevent him from acting on what they viewed as his most dangerous impulses. In it, then-chief-of-staff John Kelly was quoted as calling the White House "crazytown," then-Defense Secretary James Mattis said the President had the understanding of "a fifth or sixth grader," and his former personal lawyer John Dowd is quoted as calling Trump a "liar" and telling the President he could not be interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller or he would end up in an "orange jumpsuit."
