maggie haberman in new york, welcome to hardtalk. now, you've been covering donald trump since the �*90s, more than anybody else, perhaps, yet you say that he still remains a bit of an enigma for you. how is that possible? it's an interesting question, and thank you for having me. i think he's an enigma for almost everybody. i think that he is a man of a handful of moves, and you can identify what those moves are, and you see him use them over and over again, but it can be tricky to figure out which ones. and i think the biggest issue, and i write about this, is people want to read into his actions and read meaning into his actions. they're often pretty empty and they're often aboutjust surviving from one minute to the next. and exactly why he's doing something can sometimes be hard to figure out until later. he is not strategic, he is much more calculating than people realise. all right, i mean, how far do you think the fact that you grew up in new york city, same kind of area as he, your parents indeed met on the new york post. so
