    Three reasons why @Olivianuzzi's private Trump interview is so much better than others of the genre: 1) She makes it clear that this is all a big production. 2) She notes explicitly when Trump goes off the record and for how long. 1/2http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/10/my-private-oval-office-press-conference-with-donald-trump.html …

        3) This line, which should be in every single story where Trump accuses off the record sources as being imaginary friends. “Well, you’ve cited anonymous sources before,” I said. “Were they made up?”

        My fav part -> “I need you to leave, Kelly just ignores him,” the administration official said. “I think the president just doesn’t know who to call to fire him. Normally if the president wanted to fire somebody, he would call Kelly to do it. But there’s nobody else to call.”

        4) it's presented as a transcript, so we get what he said and how, rather than what the WSJ or NYT decide he meant.

        "We have — I call it a well-oiled machine. It’s ruled with tremendous people." is by far the most revealing quote. Use of the word "ruled" tells you that @POTUS thinks the white house is his castle not we the people's house

        It shows that he is incapable of rational , logical and coherent thought. Wishing she would have asked him about his biggest lies by having facts on hand. Overall a great and frightening piece.

        He just repeats himself over and over and over and over and over again. He’s really got nothing to say.

        All trump's digs at his staff, right in front of them, as he, they and everyone else laughs at it like it's a joke, when it's clearly not. It's also obvious that trump has zero respect for Kelly, from the way he kept ignoring him & cutting him off.

        The "He briefly went off the record." followed closely by "People that are off the record — I think it doesn’t even exist." is a brilliant nugget of journalism.
