Legendary journalist Bob Woodward’s explosive new book “Fear” is about to hit shelves, and The Washington Post just published all of the juiciest details.

From CNBC:

“Trump called Attorney General Jeff Sessions ‘a traitor,’ and complained ‘everybody’s trying to get me’ after he learned that Robert Mueller had been appointed special counsel to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election that sent Trump to the White House.

Trump also called Sessions ‘mentally retarded.’ The president was also the subject of insults. He was called ‘unhinged’ and an ‘idiot’ by his chief of staff, John Kelly, Woodward’s book says.

And the president once phoned Defense Secretary James Mattis to say ‘Let’s f—ing kill him’ after Syrian leader Bashar Assad launched a chemical attack on civilians, according to the book.

‘Let’s go in. Let’s kill the f—king lot of them,’ Trump said in one of the highlights of the 448-page book that was described in an article Tuesday in The Washington Post, where Woodward has long worked.” 

“Fear” is slated for a Sept. 11 release.

WIBC hosts The Chicks on the Right discussed the book in today’s edition of Speedround.
