In the wake of the failure of the House to pass the bill to replace ObamaCare, Washington Post and Time magazine veteran Carl Bernstein appeared Sunday, March 26 on CNN’s Reliable Sources where he let loose on President Donald Trump. He told host Brian Stelter:

“It’s more than a blow because in addition to the line that has surrounded his presidency and his incessant lying, which Republicans even have now become terribly alarmed at, it shows the level of his incompetence, which is something that was known to many people who had done business with the Trump Organization. It was known to people who worked on The Apprentice with him when he would show up on the set without having done his homework, having done no preparation, having no idea of where the script was going.

“There’s nothing new about this. Read the Trump biographies. He is not a competent leader. And on top of that, as you have indicated at the beginning of this program, his presidency is a bodyguard of lies. And that is undermining his presidency at the same time that his closest aides in the campaign are under serious investigation in a possible conspiracy that may extend in some way to himself.”
