Fear, the upcoming book by veteran investigative reporter Bob Woodward about President Donald Trump, has made headlines with wild anecdotes and insults from inside the White House.
But one line in particular has captured a ton of attention on social media.
“He’s gone off the rails. We’re in Crazytown,” chief of staff John Kelly said, according to the book. “I don’t even know why any of us are here. This is the worst job I’ve ever had.”
That led to thousands of #Crazytown tweets, including these:
Welcome to Crazytown. https://t.co/sBXDGxjBIw

Also, how do you get a quote like "We're in Crazytown" and title your book "Fear" instead?

Will be forever grateful to General Kelly for giving us “Crazytown” as a synonym for the Trump White House.

We don’t have a focused president leading America. According to @realDonaldTrump’s chief of staff, we live in Crazytown and it’s being run by an idiot.

Make Crazytown Sane Again! #MCSA https://t.co/PGCfGnO5tu
This is the only President that both felt the need to tweet that he is a very stable genius and that his CofS did NOT call him and idiot. #crazytown #tytlive https://t.co/G7PXPLYS8W

The quotes in the Bob Woodward book are shocking. @POTUS is unfit to lead our great nation.
— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) September 4, 2018
But the GOP Congress has been complicit with the Crazytown behavior & policies of @realDonaldTrump.
Does this make you angry? Scared? If so, vote this Nov & get your friends to vote. https://t.co/lTTCBSt5rg
