Hell frozen: at the White House, the other day, Donald Trump “launched a charming offensive, produced mainly on Goldberg”, as in Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of the Atlantic. “There was none of the insults or hostility that he regularly leveled in our magazine.”
It is according to journalists from the Atlantic Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer, who wrote the magazine blanketwhich was published yesterday.
For all the gleaned ideas of the interview, nothing is more fascinating than the way it happened.
They called the president on his mobile phone. (Wha? Who should I be in court to get this? Journalists don’t say.))
Trump says he did the initial telephone interview to see if the Liberal magazine could be fair.
President Trump tells the Atlantic that he heads the country “and the world”
So I’m here to say that the whole and apparently endless room is right. The president has not shot it on Truth Social, at least so far.
However, he has torn new surveys of the “New York Times failure” and “ABC / Washington Post” such as “false polls of false press organizations”, saying that they should “be the subject of an investigation for electoral fraud, and add the Fox News as you are there.” Its lowest approval rating, in the post-ABC survey, was 39%.
Meanwhile, we can now return to Trump’s victory in 2024 as inevitable, but after January 6, it was anything but. On the cell call, “the president seemed to be exalted by everything he had managed to do in the first two months of his second term.”

And then came the transaction: “As always, Trump was looking for an agreement. If he loved the story we wrote, he said, he could even speak to us again.”
Goldberg describes the session: “What I found in this particular meeting was a Trump who was discreet, attentive and eager to convince us that he is good in his work and good for the country. It is not easy to escape the tractor beam from his charisma, but in one way or another, we managed, and we asked him what had to be asked.
“But the Carré Trump the charmer with the Orcish Trump that we see more frequently is difficult … Trump posted on the social platform of the media that he owns that Ashley is a radical stride ” (she is not) and that Michael ‘` `has never written a great story about me, only negative and practically always supposed” (also false). This is our task at the Atlantic so as not to be intimidated by these types of attacks. “”

The most interesting Trump sound bite is its comparison of the two terms:
“The first time, I had two things to do – I did the country and survive; I had all these twisted guys. And the second time, I run the country and the world.”
Parker and Scherer have done many other interviews, such as with Steve Bannon. “Our reality is that we have won”, and he cited the conspiracy theory that the FBI had prompted the crowd on January 6. Journalists said it was simply false.
“Now here’s the interesting thing,” said Bannon. “Who won this argument? I think we have …
“This time, it’s” hey, f ** k you, Greenland is ours … When you came back from so long, you feel clearly: “I can do everything.” “”
What about the four criminal surveys, including the weakest conviction – the Hush monetary case of Alvin Bragg? Trump says his figures have continued to increase.

“Surprisingly, yes,” said Trump. “Normally, that would knock you out. You would not even live the next day. You know, you would announce your resignation, and you would come back and you fight for your name”, as everyone says – you know, “beat for your name, return to your family”. … Yeah, it made me stronger, made me much stronger. “”
He also declared in the telephone interview: “I was charged five times by five different scums, and they all look for jobs now, so it’s one of those things. Who would have thought, right? It was quite incredible.”
After the 2016 elections, Trump told oil leaders in Mar-A-Lago:
If I am not president, you are F *** Ed. Look at your profit and loss statements. Do you realize what would have happened to you if she was president? What’s wrong with you? “), It was Kamala Harris, of course.

A turning point: when he went to Palestine is the east, Ohio after the derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals, while Joe Biden did not make a squat.
On the Kennedy Center: “I couldn’t really go the first time, because I was always dismissed or bulls **, and I could never enjoy a show.” He therefore dismissed the Democrats and became president.
Very well, enough quotes. Wait, one more that captures the tone of the room:
“I obtained 38% of the black vote. Although each issue he cited is false, the general thrust of his observation was correct.”
Journalists told the way things went south for the president, especially on prices and the economy, and how he put pressure on the Republicans of the hill to support his candidates with primary threats.

After the March telephone interview, journalists tried Trump’s mobile phone again. I just received vocal messaging. But at 1:38 am, he tried them. No message.
Trump thinks he can even win his worst enemies. In 2015 or 2016, I watched him head to the New York green room for Karl Rove, who was very tough with him. At worst, he thinks, he can neutralize the person. Or soften it for the next time. He likes the challenge.
The consumer media can hardly bear Donald Trump. He invites some of his own negative titles, while offering unprecedented access, but a large part of the press is back in resistance mode.

However, the Atlantic’s original field is undeniable, that it is “the most consecutive president of the 21st century”.
