“You know everyone likes you,” he said. “I was frankly surprised by that.” I laughed. He continued, “No, seriously, everyone I have spoken to about you likes you. There’s usually always one or two people who have something bad to say about a person for a job like this, but not you. Everyone just loves you.” I wasn’t completely sure that was true, but it was nice of him to say so. So I thanked him profusely and said I’d try not to let any of them down. Then he uttered something that was pure Donald Trump. “They don’t matter,” he said. “Only me.” I laughed awkwardly, but he wasn’t kidding.
