Bob Woodward of the Washington Post is coming out with a book, Fear, that centers around Trump's presidency. But some people have decided to release fake excerpts of the book, and people are buying it.
The actual book is based on Woodward's hundreds of hours of interviews from deeply connected sources, many of whom remain anonymous.
Woodward's book examines the inner workings of the White House, discussing Trump's breakdowns and the many plans put into place to prevent disasters and control Trump's impulses. It also discusses the president's lack of understanding of major issues.
Snippets of the book have revealed quotes where Trump is described as having the understanding of a "fifth- or sixth-grader". He is also described as, "unhinged" and "an idiot" by people who work closely with the president.
The allegations made about Trump in Fear sound so insane that some people have decided to write their own excerpts of the book and try to pass them off as real.
