Confidence Man: Maggie Haberman in Conversation with Alex Burns

Oct 3, 2022


Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman has covered the political career of Donald Trump more extensively than any other journalist. And she’s ready to talk about it.

Join one of the defining journalists of the Trump era for the launch of her new book, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America — and a candid conversation about her years covering the former President. Following Trump from his early days in New York City real estate to his tortured post-Presidential period, Haberman’s account — based on extensive research and years of interviews with hundreds of sources, including Trump himself — is a disturbing and clarifying story of a man who has brought American democracy to the edge of collapse. What are Trump’s motivations? What were the relationships that defined him? What does the rise of his political brand mean for the future of our country? Find out as Haberman shares never-before-heard stories of her time covering Trump and new insights into what his personal history tells us about his political future.
