I also don't believe Trump didn't know about Woodward's request.

In Woodward's tape, Trump actually says Lindsay Graham told him Woodward wanted to talk to him. When a Senator tells you Bob Woodward is coming after you, it doesn't seem like something you would forget.

OK, devil's advocate. Reading between the lines, I think Trump didn't want to talk to Bob Woodward told KC and others and the back and forth about it on the tape is just a bit of smoke and mirrors to save face.

Pretty sure that's the default position, not one that requires a devil's advocate.

Really? Blatant pathologic narcissism gushes from Trump's mouth rather continually. There are plenty of more egregious examples.

Narcissism constitutes virtually the entirety of his Twitter account. While this sort of thing is generally accepted from the celebrity twit[ter]verse, it shouldn't be acceptable from the POTUS.

Not at all:

either John Kelly is basically usurping Trump's power - which would be tantamount to treason
- or -
Trump is simply incapable of handling even the basics of being President, which would mean that he would need to be removed under the 25th amendment

In either case, we have no working chain of command here.

That might actually be for the best.

Yeah, but he only told him "very quickly".
 
Trump Tweets

"The Brett Kavanaugh hearings for the future Justice of the Supreme Court are truly a display of how mean, angry, and despicable the other side is. They will say anything, and are only...."

"....looking to inflict pain and embarrassment to one of the most highly renowned jurists to ever appear before Congress. So sad to see!"

The latter part's true, but the former's debatable. He's obstructed Justice and spoken out AGAINST the Constitution.

Yeah, but that's not really 25th Amendment issues so much as possibly impeachment issues.

That is just being bad at his job. They don't mean he is fundamentally bad at his job. He could be embezzling from his staff and it isnt a 25A question.
 
Trump tweeted

"Judge Brett Kavanaugh is an Exceptionally Qualified and Deserving Nominee for the Supreme Court”

All the mirrors in the White House have obviously been removed.

He has to serve as commander of chief.
Doesn't say "well".

Carry our legislation. That is happening. Also doesn't say well. Set foreign policy. Check

Present state of the union. Check

Not true. He is actively working against certain legislation he doesn't like. Not by trying to overturn the law, but by not defending it when other low-lifes sue.

"The Woodward book has already been refuted and discredited by General (Secretary of Defense) James Mattis and General (Chief of Staff) John Kelly. Their quotes were made up frauds, a con on the public. Likewise other stories and quotes. Woodward is a Dem operative? Notice timing?"

Woodward reflected Republican values during the GW admin.
