In het Woodward-boek "ANGST; TRUMP IN HET WITTE HUIS" wordt aan de hand van verslagen, dagboeken, documenten en honderden uren van interviews met primaire bronnen de verbijsterende gang van zaken in het Witte Huis en de bizarre manier waarop de president besluiten neemt over binnen- en buitenlandse kwesties beschreven.

In the political back-and-forth, the evasions, the denials, the tweeting, the obscuring, crying "Fake News," the indignation, Trump had one overriding problem that Dowd knew but could not bring himself to say to the president: "You're a fucking liar."
Evelyn brought her endless good sense and wisdom, serving as full collaborator and in the spirit - and with the level of effort - of coauthor. (Author's Personal Note)
