The book “RAGE” by a well-known US journalist who exposed the Watergate scandal
News Time
Bob Woodward is an American journalist whose reporting exposed the biggest political scandal in US history, Watergate, forcing President Richard Nixon to resign. He has won more than 20 books in the last 50 years of the presidency of the United States and has twice won the Plutzer Prize, the world’s most prestigious journalism award. Bob is rightly called the chronicler of the White House. RAGE is his second book on the most controversial presidency of President Trump in US history, in which he sharply criticizes President Trump’s performance. At the end of the book, he says that in his opinion, this man is absolutely unfit for the post.
Importantly, unlike his previous book, FEAR, for which President Trump refused to cooperate, President Trump has given 17 interviews for RAGE with a total duration of 9 hours. The book also includes information from more than 100 interviews with key current and former Trump administration officials. In addition, diaries, White House tapes, and other records from these sources have been used. He asserted that his confession had been obtained through torture, and that his confession had been obtained through torture. Much of the book deals with President Trump’s irresponsibility during the Corona epidemic. He says the United States is 4% of the world’s population, but 25% of coronavirus deaths occurred here. In addition, President Trump’s decisions regarding US domestic and foreign policies during his presidency and the strained or uneven relations with his own staff have been criticized. The book also discusses Russia’s cyber-interference in the US election and the president’s impeachment of Ukraine.
It may be recalled that in February 2020, a US court acquitted him of both charges as no charges were proved. In addition to this critique, the book unwittingly brings to light some facts that the media did not focus on, such as President Trump’s role in the US military world since the beginning of his presidencyhave been against the presence in most parts. He called for the withdrawal of US troops from the country. He has been angry at the US military spending on the defense of the NATO military alliance, South Korea and Japan. He said the cost of keeping 32,000 troops in South Korea was $4.5 billion, of which South Korea paid only 800 800 million. Bob says his own administration made it difficult for him to understand that NATO needed America, not Europe and the presence of forces in South Korea is, in fact, to keep the United States safe.
Trump’s first defense secretary, James Mattis, resigned in 2018 after the defeat of ISIS in Syria in protest that Trump withdrew troops from Syria without consulting him. Mattis said ISIS could rise again in Syria at any time, so a permanent US military presence was necessary. And the Kurds, who have been fighting in large numbers on behalf of the United States against ISIS, are also threatened by Turkey. The President replied that you want us to always fight. Mattis was also part of the Obama administration and was fired for lobbying for an attack on Iran while Obama was negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran. Throughout the book, chapters appear to be frustrated by the president’s lack of interest in the war and his constant admiration of war supporters, especially the Mattis. Bob seems to be the victim of war demons with the American establishment and neo-conservative elements. Bob also says that the trade war with China is Trump’s only policy on which both parties are united and stand with Trump. Trump says no strategy has been adopted under the Obama administration, realizing the threat posed by China’s emerging economy. The extent to which this claim is true is debatable, but the president favors his protectionist (protectionist or tariff-based) trade policy, rather than free trade. As soon as they arrived, they imposed tariffs on steel, which damaged relations with many countries. In the book, it seems that Bob is with the American war-mad establishment. In addition to his support for Defense Secretary James Mattis, who is now Abu, Bob has made an emotional statement the mother of a soldier killed in Afghanistan or Iraq has been asked why the United States does not send 90,000 troops to Afghanistan instead of 30, to avenge his son by ensuring American victory in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is surprising that a world-renowned journalist has so much support for the Iraq-Afghanistan war in the name of seemingly impartial reporting.
It would be more appropriate to refer to mothers like Cindy Sheehan, who started a peace movement after losing her son in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those who said that their sons should be killed, Afghans or Iraqis or Americans, is sad. Cindy also said that my son was not killed to protect America. Bob did not comment on the legitimacy of the Iraq war in which the Mets participated. For him, the most important and interesting part of the book is Trump’s efforts to improve relations between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Trump, with whom US relations have been extremely strained. When North Korea tested a long-range ballistic missile in 2017, according to Bob, the US Secretary of Defense met in church and began asking God for courage and guidance. Because he believed that a nuclear war between the United States and North Korea was now inevitable, Trump decided to meet directly with North Korean President Kim Jong Un, which was widely criticized because no previous The US president has made no such progress. President Trump not only met with the North Korean president but also exchanged 27 letters based on a very interesting bromance.
The most interesting phase of the bizarre relationship of its kind came when Trump tweeted during a visit to Japan that if the Korean president was reading this, could he come to greet him at the South-North Korean border two days later? During his visit to South Korea, President Trump not only met at the border in person, but also crossed the border into North Korea with minimal permission. Even on this occasion, the American press gave negative coverage that Trump is hungry for fame. Despite stating the facts, Bob forgot to praise the fact that President Trump had managed to divert the threat of the Korean War from the US. The book consists of 46 chapters and is written in a very easy to understand language which has been the hallmark of the chapter. They also provide a note on how the information is obtained in order to maintain transparency in each of their books. The various chapters of the book begin with interesting events and a little consideration gives an idea of who provided most of the information. It should be clear that like a professional journalist, chapters cannot publish off-the-record information, that is, information that is given to them but not allowed to be published. His book may seem like Trump’s White House diary, but the book does not discuss White House policy on many important topics.
Top of the list are the White House’s efforts to recognize the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and Israel, and Trump’s extraordinary efforts. In Trump’s White House, the Uighurs has been active with the people regarding China’s atrocities, not to mention the chapter. There are details of how Trump’s relationship with the North Korean leader developed, but Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s relationship with Trump and Jared Kishner and changes in the Middle East have been left out. Trump has also come under intense pressure from US intelligence agencies through impeachment during his presidency. It seems that the American establishment and the American mainstream press are not happy with Trump because newspapers like New York Times and Washington Post have been writing against Trump. To some extent, they are right to oppose Trump, but not to praise Trump’s efforts to get the United States out of the war, to ignore the deal with North Korea, to reduce US defense spending. And the fact that the United States does not appreciate efforts to cut spending on military bases shows that the media is biased against Trump. The popular American media has, in fact, been following the rhetoric of the war-torn American establishment.
Trump’s media coverage calls him racist, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, but it’s worth considering did the discrimination against black people in the United States begin under President Trump? It should be noted that according to US statistics, one thousand black people are killed by the police every year. The president is also accused of not understanding American values, lying a lot. This begs the question: haven’t presidents with American values ever told serious lies to the American people and Congress before?
From the Vietnam War to the spread of Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and ISIS, many lies are now coming to light, and the US administration and the media themselves shamelessly admit them. The difference, if any, is that Trump, like previous US presidents, does not have the diplomatic style to lie and express hatred. It also needs to be considered that talking about banning Muslims from entering the United States is a greater crime or bombing Muslim countries and destroying them and killing civilians in the name of massive collateral damage?
