In an excerpt from Maggie Haberman's upcoming book, Trump reflects on his presidency and answers the question: 'If you had it to do again, would you have done it?' ''Yeah, I think so. ... I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’”

"'The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.' He then went on to talk about how much easier his life would have been had he not run," Haberman wrote.

"Yet there it was: Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them," Haberman wrote.

AnnCoulter Still better than Bush,Romney,Obama, and BIDEN Treat him as such

AnnCoulter Lie

'There are so many sewers in town... nobody knows the ones that aren't putting out noxious fumes, or serving as dining rooms for rats eating pizza, or that dont have insane clowns living in them' What kind of man prefers to be despised, reviled & ridiculed rather than ignored?

This is Wrong.. because now you make no sense. There was a context to this conversation, but you have cut it ridiculously and make him sound just as you want people's perspective to be skewed. A lot is wrong with Trump but is Bad Journalism, period

It occurs to me that Maggie and the Donald have a lot in common.

AnnCoulter Can you imagine having both the luxury of being rich and having no one know who you are? Like those Kardashians are rich but have to go out there and show themselves off every day to be rich. If you could have the wealth without that, why would you give it up?

Stop plugging her book.

Shame....the ONLY reason he wants to be president!

NunyabizzFashy ''Yeah, I think so. ... I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’” TFG gaffes are more subtle than Joey's.

It beggars belief to see this and so many other obtuse statements or comments he has made in response to events or situations. If he does have all these rich friends, are they all naive enough to see him as a visionary political statesman? How do they not see the reality?

🤣😂 The endless stream of MAGA donations must be getting close to a Billion, but Trump reflects on his rich friends instead…

AnnCoulter Maggie, no shampoo, Haprrman has the skinny

👀

AnnCoulter Most politicians run for power or money. That's why they are corrupt. Trump ran to be remembered as the greatest President ever. That was his reward. So he made sure to BE great. 🤔

I really wish I didn’t know who trump was.

AnnCoulter Two great unbiased sources.

I never thought he wanted to do the work of the presidency but he wanted the presidency for his ego.

I’m writing a book about Trump to join with the many hundreds that have already done so. He’s making millionaires of a lot of Americans.

No one should read maggieNYT 's book. She used her family connections and access to trump to take down the 'email lady' for her own personal benefit. As a result, democracy is in peril. Thanks a bunch, Maggie. Hope you feel famous. ButHerEmails

He ran for money. He does everything for money.

AnnCoulter I love how the not so intelligent people on the left are going to pretend that going down in history hasn’t been the largest motivator for man since the dawn of time. Entire civilizations have been built on the concept.

AnnCoulter Nobody knew who Trump was before…according to FBI mouthpiece Maggie.

AnnCoulter Because nobody else does that.

AnnCoulter He’s the most self destructive person ever to ascend to the WH

Legend 🤣🤦🏾‍♂️

Trump’s life is a con. The moment he stops pretending and accepts reality it’s all over. He doesn’t have extreme amounts of money. He’s wayyy indebt to those rich friends who own him

Why does Trump continue to give journalists who HATE him a chance to hurt him?

Says all you need to know about him. Took a public service job so that more people would know who he is. It was never about helping the country. It was always about making himself more rich and famous no matter who he had to screw over to do it.

this is just sickening!! I blame GOP, LeaderMcConnell JerryMoran RogerMarshallMD for all of this that he had laid waste to in our democracy..this is on all of you.

Vanity. For a 300 lb. septuagenarian with terrible hair, he sure is vain.

Does infamy count? If so, mission accomplished!

It’s utterly ridiculous that the media spread the narrative that Hillary Clinton was chasing after rich people.

So weak, so sick, so lost. So dangerous.

AnnCoulter DeSantis 2024.

Maggie knew so much and shared so little.

AnnCoulter Achillean, triumphant
