NEW YORK — Bob Woodward’s “Fear” is spreading quickly. Woodward’s account of a dysfunctional Trump White House has already sold more than 750,000 copies, Simon & Schuster announced Wednesday, the day after the book arrived in stores. The book portrays Trump as an ill-informed and dishonest president and the West Wing staff as trying to minimize the damage. Trump has condemned “Fear” as a “fraud” and some former White House officials who spoke with Woodward have tried to distance themselves from the book. “Fear” seems likely to join Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury” as a million-selling takedown of Trump.
