she eats dinner and breakfast -- >> i think we lost mary jordan there again. let me bring matthew dowd back in. as we see the white house, friday afternoon, on a crisp autumn day. waiting for the president to come out to marine one. it's hard to imagine more of a surprise coming in the final weeks of a presidential campaign. >> we've all been used to, you and i, we've covered campaigns for a long time. we're used to the october surprise, but this goes beyond any kind of surprise we've seen. i'm willing to bet my texas land that the president walks out under his own volition on this. because i think he understands, as rahm was saying, he understands what that means if he doesn't. and how much that is important to him. so my guess is, he's going to do that. this is a surprise like days? when the president is going to the hospital, he is on a campaign picture with the president. he is in contact and what does he need to do, does he not go out? that is a whole other question -- let's try to at least try to answer some of them. i mean, the president, as you pointed

. >> on her weekly author interview program "after words", the "washington post" mary jordan discussed her new book on alani at trump are here she talks about the relationship between the president and the first lady. >> he admires her because she is everything he is not. she is cool. when she gets angry she does not scream or do something impulsive preach she just walks away. he loves her cool. and she admires him. she admires what he is able to do, she admires his connection to people. they are both very distrustful of most people. but the same things and most ways of both value image. they both value beautiful things, wealthy things, they both like a lot of the same things. i think they actually have a lot more in common than people thin think. they are really tight units, family, trump, trump, trump and for her interfamily it's her mother, father and darren. very tight group and very few others penetrate. the relationship is certainly hit rocks at different times. it's been up and down they been together for 22 years. i've a lot in the book about this. but she was furious after the

mary jordan? i think her phone isn't connected.o let's bring in lee, and lee, for this to happen, so close to the presidential campaign, on the issue that has come to define the entire campaign, is something we just haven't seen in history. >> no, we haven't seen it at all. the closest we've gotten is something like hillary clinton coming down with pneumonia almost exactly a month ago, i mean a month to this date four years ago. we saw how donald trump treated that. he mocked it, said it's an example of not having vigorou y vigorousivigorous physique or stamina. i think the real challenge is to remember, this is a moment, this is perhaps something that is to be expected in the end result of a president who has treated this pandemic as a hoax, has really dismissed it. didn't even flinch when people at his rallies got sick from covid-19. and now has to face the music, and has to face the consequences of coming down with this, while trying to maintain a healthy image to the public and also continue his campaign. how that plays out rem
