New York Times correspondent, Maggie Haberman, has a new book due out tomorrow in which she explores Donald Trump's run for the presidency in 2016 and his subsequent rise and fall in American politics. It is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter's own reporting during that period and three extensive interviews that she had with Trump since he left the White House following his sound defeat by Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Haberman's book is titled: "Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America."
According to promotional leaks about the book, one "reveal" of Trump's character is the way that he speaks about Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis to those around him. Trump regards himself as being responsible for pulling DeSantis, a relatively unknown, backbench congressman from Florida, from political obscurity and into the Florida governor's mansion. But now that DeSantis is making a national name for himself and being touted as a likely Republican presidential candidate, Trump's ardor for the Florida governor has begun to noticeably cool.
Haberman apparently says in her book that Trump aides in Florida have told her that Trump, in a stunning example of the psychological concept of "projection," describes Ron DeSantis as being "fat," "phony," and "whiny."
But Trump's insecurities about the rising popularity of the GOP governor of Florida are apparently baseless because a new full-length, double-wide, gold-framed mirror in the throne room at Mar-a-Lago has reportedly - and repeatedly - assured Donald John Trump that he is still the fattest, phoniest, and whiniest two-bit politician of them all - an honor that is certainly well deserved!
