– Painted in the corner

Prior to the publication of “Confidence Man”, there were several news stories from the book that attracted a lot of attention: among other things, in February, Haberman claimed that Trump repeatedly he must have blocked the toilet with torn pieces of paper.

Trump conflicts with the National Archives (NARA) for the public documents he would take home. In August, the FBI raided his estate in Florida and found several classified documents.

If Trump has committed a crime, In the end, it can convicted of espionage.

At CBS, Haberman says he believes this, and the other legal processes he’s involved in, are part of what causes Trump to run for president again in 2024.

– With the caveat that I do not know and that I can be proven wrong, I believe that he painted himself in a corner where he must remain silent, he says, and explains:

– I think he needs the protection he thinks running for president will give him to fight the investigation he calls a “witch hunt.” And this is how he collects and makes money. Much of his identity now is about being a politician. So I expect him to run away. That doesn’t mean he’ll stay all through the election campaign, he believes him.

“Like my psychiatrist”

During one of the interviews Trump did with Haberman at his Mar-A-Lago home, he said, according to the book, that “I love being with her. She is like my psychiatrist “

But she tells CBS that this isn’t anything special and that’s how she treats everyone, testing how people react to things in real time.

After the book came out, Trump did accused her for being a liar who hasn’t verified the things that come up with someone who can know if they’re true – like himself. Haberman responded by posting on Twitter a photo of an excerpt from the comment book with Trump’s handwriting:

– The same characteristics

Haberman said he spoke to Trump “countless” times. She has interviewed him three times in connection with the book, she has been close to both Trump and those in the administration around him, and has covered Trump since his time as New York real estate baron. She then she was, among other things, a reporter for the New York Post.

He says you have to understand where Trump is from to understand who he is.

– In the 60s-70s-80s, New York was a truly unique environment, due to a combination of dysfunctional and sometimes corrupt forces that touched the media, city hall and party system in the various boroughs and how they were made real estate projects, he tells CBS.

Haberman says Trump is largely the same person, depending on the context.

– He tended to treat the White House as if it were still in a real estate office and deal with local leaders, as if it were still 1980.

He describes his leadership style as creating drama, a sense of chaos and abdication of responsibility.

– He has a handful of moves he has always used. People tend to attribute a lot of strategy to what it does, but in reality it is these moves. It’s a quick lie, pitting employees against each other and blaming others.
