Right. Right.
Now, have you dated someone where you had that divide? Where they were very... Why not?
Right. So when I'm covering, let's say I was on deadline writing about the Trump address recently, and my assistant is watching it through his phone. He's not watching the TV with me. And I'm like, let's both look at the TV. But no, that is not going to happen.
But there's some filter in there. And I'm like, let's just pay attention to this. But no.
We had a huge picture of JFK.
Yeah, I often wonder. My father wouldn't, but I wonder. I don't think my mom would, but I can see parts of Trump she would like. She did feel we were sending too much foreign aid and a lot of the things he harps on. And I think she would like, she liked, funnily enough, she became a Republican with Reagan. because she loved Ronald Reagan, especially in a tuxedo. She loved him.
But then she loved Clinton because he was optimistic and talked to her. I think she would like the fact that Trump keeps talking to his fans, you know?
Yeah, but also he talks to them in a way... Barack Obama or, you know, other, George W. Bush don't talk to fans the way they would talk to their wife or a friend. And Trump does. You know, it's very, he would tell people at rallies anything he would tell Melania, probably more.
Well, it's my publisher.
Confirm. But my publisher, Trump, called us after the 2016 election. He called the Times, and he came over, and we had a big meeting with him. And he began complaining about me. And the publisher said, Mr. Trump, or President Trump, it's not your fault. It's just your turn. Wow. Wow.
Yeah. Oh, I should have used that as the title. Well, I have another shot at it.
Yes, and I loved your editorial.
Yeah, I was at Columbia getting my graduate degree in English literature a couple years ago. Yep, I got it.
And I was in a class of pre-Renaissance plays, and the teacher, this British guy goes, this woman character, he goes, what is she? And I looked down at the footnotes, And I go, oh, she's a whore. And the whole class, all the students and the teacher were like, and the teacher goes, Maureen, she's a sex worker. Just like I said. Before Shakespeare. Right.
Yeah, no.
Yes, it was much more valuable. You know, I didn't have rich parents to pay for it, so it was very expensive.
Thank God my time.
My time there was before that. And so it was very peaceful. Oh, it was before that. Right before.
Right.
But he's, it's funny.
