NextImg:Bob Woodward Sums Up Ultimate Goal Of Trump’s Cabinet Picks With 2 Ominous Words
LOADINGERROR LOADING

The real purpose of Donald Trump’s controversial, unqualified Cabinet picks is to allow the president-elect to recreate an “imperial presidency” in which he has complete and total control, legendary Watergate reporter Bob Woodward told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Monday.

Trump wants to utterly destroy the system of government and is essentially saying with his inexperienced Cabinet choices ― such as Fox NewsPete Hegseth for defense secretary ― that, “I can do whatever I want, it’s up to me alone,” explained Woodward.

“Having written three books on Trump, spent hours with him, the goal is to give him all the say, all the power,” the veteran journalist suggested.

The “check engine light has just gone off and we’ve pulled into the wrong store,” Woodward concluded. “It makes no sense and it’s a form of giving his middle finger to the American people.”
