  • What would Bob Woodward think?

  • That's the question I've been asking myself for weeks.

  • Since President Trump took office for a second time, Bob Woodward,

  • renowned Washington Post journalist who worked with Carl Bernstein to investigate and uncover the Watergate scandal.

  • President Richard Nixon became the first and only US president to resign from office.

  • In the 50 years since Watergate, Bob Woodward has continued to report on U.S.

  • presidents.

  • He's written books about the last 10, and he wrote three bestsellers about President Trump.

  • And so I've been thinking,

  • he had a front row seat to the massive transformations in our federal government following Watergate,

  • and he spent hours talking to Trump when he was writing those books.

  • I went to his house last week to ask him this question.

  • What does he make of President Trump's approach to the presidency this time?

  • This is Post Reports.

  • I'm Colby ekowicz.

  • It's Friday, March 28th.

  • Two quick notes.

  • We spoke with Bob before the News of the Signal Group chat.

  • So that won't be in our conversation.

  • And also if you're listening to this conversation, you can also watch it.
