WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump is calling a new book about his administration by longtime journalist Bob Woodward "a scam."

In a Friday morning tweet, Trump is objecting to The Washington Post writer's narrative of Trump's turbulent 18 months in office.

Trump says: "I don't talk the way I am quoted. If I did I would not have been elected President."

The Woodward book is a scam. I don’t talk the way I am quoted. If I did I would not have been elected President. These quotes were made up. The author uses every trick in the book to demean and belittle. I wish the people could see the real facts - and our country is doing GREAT!

The boo> spotlights Trump advisers' fears about the impulsive leader, and features quotes of Trump using profanity and mocking Attorney General Jeff Sessions' accent.

Trump adds: "These quotes were made up. The author uses every trick in the book to demean and belittle."

Woodward has said he stands by his reporting.
