EXCERPT:
PALMERI: “I think he will probably do it this time, and I think he will go there and just spank the press and be absolutely ruthless, where his last time — I don’t know why he didn’t go last time. I think he just has this different sort of energy, he feels like he owns the press.”
DONALDS: “No, I think he was really just pissed with the press and was like, ‘Why am I showing up?’ But I think now he’s in this — I think for him, he’s in this mode of, ‘I’m president again. You were all against me, but I won. So I’m gonna do the victory lap.’ So I can definitely see him going, hitting the press a little bit, but then also being a little magnanimous and enjoying the event and taking off.”
MAHER: “Not that part.
(Laughter)
That part is not happening.”
