On The Gist, parsing president Trump’s one-on-one press interviews may be a fool’s errand, but at least it’s a fun one.
In the interview, the Washington Post’s Greg Miller has reported from the murkiest depths of the Trump swamp.

Miller is the author of The Apprentice: Trump, Russia and the Subversion of American Democracy.
