Inside trump's head. New book. Starts back in Queens NYC. A big one.
" . . . On the Trump-Maggie psychodrama: “To people around Trump, and around Haberman, too, this was proof of this ‘fixation’ that he had. She ‘gets access to Trump because he needs her,’ as BEN SMITH once said, ‘not because she needs him.’ To the extent that there is a ‘relationship,’ it’s him to her more than her to him. Haberman has covered Trump the way she’s covered basically everybody. Trump, on the other hand, attacked her — he called her a ‘third rate reporter’ and a liberal ‘flunkie’ ‘who I don’t speak to and have nothing to do with’ — even as he plainly was looking for, or needing, something specially from her. ‘He seemed to have a love-hate relationship on his side,’ [STEPHANIE] GRISHAM said. ‘She was at the top of the pecking order of people he paid attention to,’ said ALYSSA FARAH , a former White House communications director for Trump. ‘Nobody pisses off Donald Trump more than Maggie Haberman,’ [MICHAEL] CAPUTO told me. ‘But he also appreciates her more than any other reporter.’ Said [SAM] NUNBERG: ‘He thinks he probably made her.’”
Maggie on whether she’s addicted to her work: “‘Yes. One hundred percent,’ she said. ‘I think you knew the answer to your question. It’s my curse and my salvation.’”
