About this listen
The Trump Tapes is the intimate and astonishing audio archive of Bob Woodward’s 20 interviews with Donald Trump.
Featuring more than eight hours of Woodward/Trump conversations, The Trump Tapes is as historically important as the Frost/Nixon interviews. In this up-close, unvarnished self-portrait of Trump and his presidency, listeners will hear Trump as Woodward did: profane, incautious, divisive, and deceptive, but also engaging and entertaining, ever the host and the salesman, trying to sell his presidency to win Woodward over.
Relying on familiar devices – airing grievances, stoking divisions, repeating himself to a staggering degree, as if saying something often and loud enough will make something true – Trump uses his voice as a concussive instrument, pounding in the listener’s ear.
In new commentary created exclusively for The Trump Tapes, Woodward at times breaks frame from the interviews to provide essential context or clarification. But for the most part the interviews proceed uninterrupted, fulfilling Woodward’s goal of presenting Trump’s voice and words for the historical record, and offering listeners the chance to hear and judge and make their own assessments.
As relevant as ever to the task of understanding Donald Trump, The Trump Tapes reveal Trump in his own words – a man consumed by the past and clinging to his grievances, unable to understand his responsibilities as president or address the crises affecting the country.

How the people elected a Moron
I found it hard to listen to someone so consumed with his own ego, wandering around in circles like a diseased whelerbeest and to think he was President just makes me feel ill.

Fascinating.
Worthwhile actually hearing the interviews themselves which show how deeply unsuitably Trump was to hold the top position at a time of national disaster. You can hear the panic in his own words; the uncertainty; and dare I say it the fundamentally narcissistic nature of his personality in the tone of his conversation (rants) with Woodward, all in his own words. History will be his judge.

It's all mine, I do what I want.
What a great insight into a most flawed individual. This gives teeth to the book, Rage.

disturbing but compelling
a disturbing book, but one that should be heard by every American voter. I do not understand how anyone could continue to support him after listening to this

This was enthralling!
To hear Trump, in his own words was both riveting and terrifying. I had never thought we would see another Hitler in history, but here we are. Well done Bob Woodward!

Bob Woodward's calmness
I don't know how you didn't lose your cool. I was sooo frustrated listening to Trump. He is a jealous child & lacks humility & empathy.
Please stop this idiot becoming US President again, my anxiety will kill me. 😫

Excellence in Journalism
Subject matter aside, which in itself is extremely interesting, I very much enjoyed the insight into Bob Woodward's process and skill. Would recommend for journos who are anxious about combative or high profile interviews.
This is not just a story of American political leadership. It is the story of the lives of two men and their interactions; one utilising his wisdom, crafting his words, while the other attempts illegal moves of his chess pieces across the Scrabble board. Seriously though, intriguing on a number of levels, and with more of a narrative than you'd expect.

A window into Trumps mind
What an interesting and at times alarming view into what Trump focuses on and his view of himself. A powerful and engaging offering from Woodward.

Hard to get through but explains plenty
Having read the book previously I wondered what this would be like. My respect for the author has only been elevated… how on earth he sat through 20 interviews with someone so infantile and deranged is hard to fathom. Outstanding journalism and an end product that demonstrates that the subject is unfit in every conceivable way to hold office.
