To the Editor:

Re “New Book From Woodward Will Detail ‘Harrowing Life’ in Trump White House” (Business Day, July 31):

“Real power is, I don’t even want to use the word: ‘Fear.’” This quotation of President Trump talking to Bob Woodward of The Washington Post in 2016 tells you all you need to know about the man. He defines power as making other people afraid.

This attitude is a sign of cowardice, not power.
