Tina Brown

I thought when I read it, this is very funny.

Nobody will believe it.

It's all nonsense, but it's fun, you know.

So I published it in Vanity Fair.

And then the next time we wrote about him, we did a really sort of quite a tough investigative piece about his business.

And how it was going wrong in Atlantic City.

And he was so angry, it was by the reporter Marie Brenner, that we were at a dinner one night and one of those charity dinners, Marie was at my table.

And as Trump went by, she suddenly felt something cold.

And she turned around and Trump had emptied a glass of wine down her dress, right?

I just couldn't believe someone would do that.

He saw him like he'd gone and he'd emptied the wine and then he was gone across the other side of the room.

Later, when I went to the New Yorker as editor, we got him again.

I signed a writer called Mark Singer to do him.

And it was a brilliant piece because, I mean, I have to say, I did sort of seduce Trump.

I took him out for breakfast and I said, no, no, no, no, that other piece we did when I was at Vanity Fair.

It's all different at the New York.

Oh, it was a great piece.

It was an absolute classic piece.

Yeah, exactly.

It had the classic line of Trump saying, this is off the record, but you can use it.
