Maggie Haberman is a pillar of democracy. Trump will be remembered longer than she will be, but Democracy will survive Trumps as long as people like her just do their jobs. Thank you, Ms Haberman.

Awesome assessment George! I still cling to hope.

Thank you Ms. Haberman for doing “what you do!”

It’s fascinating to listen to this calm, measured, respectful discussion about a former world leader who would, under normal circumstances, be someone we consider an embarrassing relative who needs to be kept at arms length (or outright ignored) due to extreme under-developed intelligence and behavior issues, lack of impulse control, insight, intelligence, etc. This is a person who would normally have a simple job, and perhaps meet his buddies at the bowling alley once a week where his equally dim friends would tolerate his braggart, bullying, infantile behavior. In an elementary school setting we do meet boys like this. They usually grow out of it.

Hahahaaaa oh yes, you're so much better than Trump. Dingus.

Thank you. Fabulous interview. Kudos to Maggie Haberman. Love to see her insights on various news channels. Appreciated interviewer also.

I enjoyed this thorough and candid interview. Trump had a unique relationship with Maggie and I appreciate her perspective on his personality. When she summed him up as BITTER and ANGRY after his presidency, I realize what a sad and tragic figure he is, no matter how hard he spins it.

You are a champion journalist Maggie. Thank you for doing what you do.

I love Maggie Haberman. We are so blessed to have her precise, thoughtful, fact-based journalism. She is the best of the best.

Maggie definitely deserved that applause on the remark she has done the most to help us understand this enigma, Trump.

One of the great journalists of our time. Always read Maggie's work.

Very interesting interview. Thank you both for doing your jobs so well.

Maggie Haberman has been writing the first draft of a history that will become crucial for future generations who wish to study and understand Trump the man and his chaotic presidency. Her work will become a cornerstone for all future historians of this period.

I usually don't read books about events that are still unfolding. But I will make an exception in this case. I can't help wondering how much Haberman herself has been affected personally by covering this monstrous person so much. But she really has a lot of insight. That said, I believe Mary Trump has the most clear-eyed and comprehensive understanding of his pathology.

Mary's been at it a lot longer and was a victim so that would give her something an outsider like Haberman could never have. I hope you do read the book. It's incredible. I resist reading books just because they're the latest thing, or, as you say, while an event is unfolding. But I felt that Haberman's reporting was so straightforward - that when SHE was being interviewed about him she didn't let herself get led into answering questions about him in the way you could see the interviewer wanted her to - that I felt reading the book would be beneficial. And she'd be truthful. She's a great writer, weaving together incredible amounts of detail so that you don't lose track of what's going on.

VERY insightful, and CERTAINLY articulate. As to the breadth and depth of Mary Trump's understanding of her crap uncle, I DO agree with you, BUT Maggie Haberman's description of the upbringing and nature of "Fatso" -- including the very language she uses in that description -- instantly calls to mind Mary Trump's book, "Too Much and Never Enough". I feel there is much SHARED deep insight between these two writers.

Alot has been said about trumps admiration of putin. To gain a better understanding I would suggest watching Julia Ioffe's interview with Frontline. It is ominous the similarities.

I watched that several times. It was part of a great many interviews with brilliant. people who understood him all too well in clearer and more blunt terms than Maggie Haberman has ever exhibited. I will always believe that her equivocal writing about him during his first campaign helped to get him elected. I cancelled my subscription to the NYT then because of her writing. I've never read it since. I lived in the city for a long time and still consider myself to be a New Yorker. My morning routine was always a large cup of intense, dark espresso with hot milk, good toast with a slice of cheese and the NYT.

how did they both keep straight faces? im losing it! this is hilarious & trump is even weirder than i thought. as far as trump being angry that he lost the election……he lost twice. he wasn’t wanted either time he ran & going on a third.

It’s a great book

Sometimes his choice on what to lie about is revealing. The claim that he doesn't watch a lot of television shows that he is ashamed of how much television he does watch. Fun to figure out if it's because he thinks that shows a lowered intellectual ability, or because he doesn't want it known that he's watching TV to see coverage of himself. It's also interesting the tone of voice he uses - when he gets a question he doesn't expect - he suddenly speaks more softly, a silky tone, with none of the 'growl' to his voice. Haberman can't speculate about this, but I can - three things about his obsession with homosexuality - 1)there are definitely many times when Donnie sounds gay. 2) I suspect he was molested by Roy Cohn; and 3)Men I've known who are terrified to be outed, behave just the way he does. To this day, a man who finally acknowledge to me he's bi-sexual (and I still think he prefers men, but still can't admit it) will use derogatory terms about homosexuals, or speak as if he's not part of that population. Donnie has solidified lying in politics, unabashedly and out in the open. The most glaring example of how lying has become a feature of the GQP is George Santos. Donnie destroyed the guardrails.

Although I admire Maggie Haberman and she deserves all the Kudos for her writing skills and keen observations, I do look forward to the day when someone honestly says: Trump who?

At 35:45, the second trait after nihilist is "wuweiist"? Closed captions didn't get it right (wearist). If it's indeed wuweiist, how so? Just because he's lazy? The trait is largely positive and is about not forcing outcomes and harmony, which seems hardly in tune with the conversation at this point in the interview.

I'd say this is how Trump sees the whole thing: It' a movie called "The USA", STARRING DONALD TRUMP. . All that counts is BOXOFFICE! (which, in Variety, parlance is shortened to....BO. And BO, come to think of, seems to be more apt than ever!)
