Who REALLY Knows Trump? Maggie Haberman Does

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman joins Anthony to discuss her recent book, “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America” which chronicles his life and its true meaning from his rise in New York City, to his shrunken post-presidency.

Haberman has been covering the world of Donald Trump since her days as a metro reporter in the late 1990s and explains how his “playbook” has not changed since he entered politics. Trump has said Maggie is like his “psychiatrist,” and Anthony confirms she got under the former President’s skin more than any other journalist.

From both of their lived experiences with Mr. Trump they detail his “tremendous insecurity,” the “lies and misdirection,” and his obsession with the media. Anthony opens up about his time in the White House, his own regrets and the lasting impact of this, firstly on the Republican party, and then on America.

Everything we needed to know about Trump in order to know he was intellectually and morally unqualified and unfit for office was available and well known prior to 2016. That he was allowed anywhere near public service, let alone the presidency, is an astounding failure and now an unmitigated disaster.

[kathykiernan]

Wow! Scaramucci is the first person I've heard to not only admit they were a trump accomplice but to also apologize for it. Soooo commendable.

[scottmartin]

Maggie is a national treasure at the right time!

[joserafa]

I love to hear Maggie Haberman ! Her calm, soft voice, correct and perfect diction, a smart lady with a beautiful face and presence!

[rabukan]

Can't believe I am subscribing to The Mooch. We grew up in the same area but have totally different ideological beliefs and interests. He's come a long way and has humbled himself wisely. Appreciate that, and his newly acquired wisdom.

[lindascaffidi]

Anthony thank you for being honest and apologetic for supporting Donald. I wish the rest of your party would wake up.

[mfh]

Another great show. Big fan of Ms. Haberman. Anthony is a natural at this interview/discussion forum, very good.

[KernowekTim]

Admirable honesty Anthony. Good man to 'own it', instead of deny, deflect, project or flat lie, as so many others continue to do.

[ladybrooks]

Haberman is a rock star. She knows 45 like nobody else. I love listening to her.

[massiahgrom]

Anthony's personality is perfect for this . SMART, funny and honest .

[mattgee]

Brilliant interview. Well prepared, no time pressure, letting Maggie finish her answers. This is why i do not watch TV anymore.

[minhnguyen-mkom]

I am a big fan of Mooch after he left Trump and did all the right things, proud of you

[honey-feeney]

Maggie Haberman is a top notch journalist . I enjoyed this interview. Thank you.

[MoofManiac]

Really appreciate Mooch’s honesty and thoughtful preparation for this insightful interview!

[MoMichelle]

Glad to find you! I always liked the Mooch. I'm in the conversion business, not the condemnation business. The common ground these days is the most important common ground we've ever needed to fight for. These days, the common ground is the defense of democracy. I always admire the courage it takes for former- Trumpers to speak out. No human being likes to be used and scammed. We hate admitting error even more. Thanks for standing up and speaking out Mooch.

[kokolanza]

Anthony Scaramucci is a thoughtful, honest, and humble interviewer. This was a fascinating conversation to be a fly on the wall at.

Would love to hear Maggie and Mary Trump discuss

[dral]

This show is at high risk of becoming my absolute favorite. Honesty and humility attract. Maggie Haberman already has star status at the journalism training courses in Scandinavia - invite her often.

[josephf]

I’m much like you Mooch. I supported Trump out of Party loyalty. I held my nose and voted for him twice. Since January 6 I’ve regretted it every day.

[AbuBakr-uxin]

I am a big fan of Jonathan Swan as well. That exclusive interview he had with Trump is an all time classic.
