THE TRUMP TAPES
THE TRUMP TAPES is the intimate and astonishing audio archive of Bob Woodward’s 20 interviews with Donald Trump.
Featuring more than eight hours of Woodward/Trump conversations, THE TRUMP TAPES is as historically important as the Frost/Nixon interviews. In this up-close, unvarnished self-portrait of Trump and his presidency, listeners will hear Trump as Woodward did: profane, incautious, divisive, and deceptive, but also engaging and entertaining, ever the host and the salesman, trying to sell his presidency to win Woodward over.
Relying on familiar devices —airing grievances, stoking divisions, repeating himself to a staggering degree, as if saying something often and loud enough will make something true — Trump uses his voice as a concussive instrument, pounding in the listener’s ear.
