Episode III: Trump Talk, Turnover and tweets
Trailing Trump: Notes from the Back of the Briefing Room
In Episode III of “Trailing Trump: Notes from the Back of the Briefing Room,” we walk together through Trump’s first day in office – he talked “American carnage,” his critics wore pussy hats – and then we wade through Trump’s record staff turnover, his bashing of aides on social media, and more bad personnel practices.
It was not simply “fake news.” It was my life – my get-up-in-the-morning and see what the most powerful man in the world wrote on Twitter overnight or blurted out during a call-in to a morning news show.
Then try to make sense of it all. To the extent possible.
Episode IV, “Travels with Trump,” will drop July 5. Let me know what you think.
