Woodward and Bernstein blast Trump get in a dig at Chicago Tribune
Bob Woodward
âHe sees himself as a strong man  or wants to see himself as a strong man â Bernstein â who broke the Watergate scandal for  The Washington Post with Bob Woodward â  told the crowd at Northeastern Illinois University on Thursday night.
 Woodward  wasnât much kinder  describing as âShakespeareanâ an encounter  he  had with Trump in which Trump rejected former President Barack Obamaâs praise of American humility and restraint in the exercise of power and told Woodward  âReal power comes from fear.â
âIn a sense  thatâs the Trump âRosebud â â  Woodward  added  alluding to a plot element in the film âCitizen Kane.â
The White House did not respond to a request for comment. But Bernstein  73  and Woodward  74  sparred agreeably onstage like an old married couple. When Bernsteinâs exuberant arm gestures left his handheld microphone out of range   Woodward  scolded him  âHold the microphone steady!â
And when Bernstein admitted to recently rereading sections of âAll The Presidentâs Men â their best-selling book about Watergate   Woodward  told him  âThis is like Gloria Swanson â referring to the role Swanson played in âSunset Boulevardâ of an embittered old Hollywood star who dreams of a return to her glory years.
