Marc Kasowitz tells Trump that Porter is a significant hire. Trump also seems impressed with Porter. Therefore, the president tells Porter to always report directly to him instead of reporting to Reince (Woodward 176). Woodward also shows Trump’s obsession with Twitter. The president likes presenting his ideas as well as mocking/criticizing through tweets, and he often calls Twitter his megaphone (Woodward 176). He tweets mocking MSNBC cable show Morning Joe presenters. Some White House officials think that they should always vet the tweets before posting. However, Trump ignores any advice and continues to broadcast his opinions. Trump’s ignorance is shown in this chapter with Woodward writing about when Trump met Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, inviting him into a highly secure room, a SCIF, full of classified US information in. A meeting that resulted in the whole room being torn down and started again (Woodward 178).

Several months later, Turnbull visits Trump. Cohn is sure that Turnbull will raise the issue of the steel tariffs since Trump said that he would exempt Australia from the tariffs. Simply, Trump says that he will deny ever saying that and Cohn brands him a professional liar (Woodward 179). However, Trump agrees that he remembers his words during the meeting with Turnbull, and this leads to Australian exemption from the tariffs.
