Maggie Haberman has spent more time covering and interviewing Trump than almost anybody, from her days observing him when she was a New York Post reporter in the 1990s to post 'Jan 6 Attack on the Capitol' interview


i think 'Trump: Con man breaking America' would have been a better title.

She covered this story in an interview. So when he was going to be released from Walter Reid, he wanted to be wheeled out. But he’ll stand up rip open his shirt and reveal his superman shirt under.

Like yes he is definitely attempts to always be a showman. But alas, we instead had him walking up the chairs and showing how weak he was panting away like the wussy he really is.

Maggie Haberman is a hack access journalist. She has a family member (mother?) that works PR for the Kushners. She's constantly held onto damaging information for long periods of time to release in a book for profit when she should have reported it at the time. She's nothing more than his stenographer.

Outside the bit about asking his valet that brings him his coke about how to overturn the election, most of the stuff she has in the book isn’t vital to Jan 6. She released the flushing document in the toilet pic well before her book released.

She’s better than he others that had recordings of spineless McCarthy wanting to impeach the orange monkey. Or the other guy that knew the orange monkey understood the seriousness of covid at the very beginning but decided to wait over a year before telling this.

If you're only focused on 1-6, I don't know what to tell you ... this is just a bit of the stuff she saved. All of which should have been front pagers. There's some fairly damaging stuff in there if contemporaneous. Now, it's just gossip and $$$ in her pocket.

Does trump have any redeeming qualities in your eyes?

That's actually a tough question to answer. Trump gets carried away with being Trump. He lacks dignity and self restraint, he craves adulation. On the other hand, I've heard two brief interviews with Trump where he was a real person, calm, thoughtful, and reasonably articulate in his responses to the questions he answered. All that said, he did a few things as president that I thought were things that needed to be done.
So your answer is that I don't care for Trumps personality but I approve of the results he achieved.

And which results are those? Be specific. And does it bother you that he obliterated every presidential norm along the way, including using the power of his office to try and manufacture politically damaging information on an electoral rival? Were those results worth the damage to nearly every institution in our government along the way?

Edit: grammar

It's not at all, you answered it right here. Has no redeeming qualities, but you simply don't care.
