I think there's that.
I think Donald Trump also cares about magazines.
New York Magazine, in addition to just being an awesome magazine, was a very important magazine when he was
coming up in New York City in the 80s and 90s.
It covered him.
He understands it.
He knows it.
He knows the power of glossy magazines.
And, you know, he's always sort of liked it.
He's sort of kind of stuck in the 80s and 90s, you know, in that way.
I think magazines are still incredibly important right now, but he has this idea of what it was.
And I think, you know, he doesn't necessarily read that much, and so I doubt he read my past work.
So I heard from them.
You know, it wasn't in an on-the-record kind of way.
You know, I think I can fairly say that there were parts of it they liked and parts of it they didn't like.
Donald Trump did threaten to sue the ass off of New York Magazine if I wrote something that he hated, and he has not sued the ass off of New York Magazine.
I don't know if that speaks to much beyond the fact that he often is making threats that he doesn't follow through on.
Yeah, I mean, you know, the president does not exercise.
He doesn't really believe in it, and he does not eat well.
And yet he claims to be in incredible health, and he says it's because he has perfect genetics, basically.
