Most democrats, who need these documents so badly didn't even talk to him.
Most senators vote on bills before they could possibly read it all.
I am outta this thread at this point (it's as split and polarized as our whole political debate is - no one is changing anyone else's mind), so y'all enjoy.

I respect that.
Speaking of things I respect, it's select Trump aides:

The book opens with a dramatic scene. Former chief economic adviser Gary Cohn saw a draft letter he considered dangerous to national security on the Oval Office desk.
The letter would have withdrawn the US from a critical trade agreement with South Korea. Trump's aides feared the fallout could jeopardize a top-secret national security program: the ability to detect a North Korean missile launch within just seven seconds.
Woodward reports Cohn was "appalled" that Trump might sign the letter. "I stole it off his desk," Cohn told an associate. "I wouldn't let him see it. He's never going to see that document. Got to protect the country."
Cohn was not alone. Former staff secretary Rob Porter worked with Cohn and used the same tactic on multiple occasions, Woodward writes. In addition to literally stealing or hiding documents from Trump's desk, they sought to stall and delay decisions or distract Trump from orders they thought would endanger national security.

S/N raise your hand if you think saving money is more important than national security.
S/N, Trump's current Chief of Staff ladies and gentlemen:
