Publishing twumps own words is not liable. They're twump's words.
So this "twump" is Woodward's hallucination, then?
The problem is that Woodward repeatedly lies to defame the last legitimate president. The lack of integrity by the DNC controlled press is legendary - Stalin's Russian and Hitler's Reich had more a more accurate news media than the democrat Reich press.
Woodward has a long history of lies and demagoguery - he even smeared Obama - and got smacked down for it.
He figured with the insanity of the democrat Reich - he could tell any lie he wanted to make up - now he has to answer for those lies in court.
