The Trump I Know

people are fascinating

i love hearing real people's stories

hearing what motivates them

what inspires them

in this day and age we have access to

more information about people

than ever before we peer into these

little windows

and think we know people clinically

narcissistic

even people we've never actually met you

can tell this is not a person that

understands any issue deeply

we feel so connected

so informed technology has definitely

opened new parts of the human experience

but what's been closed off as a result

we see in part

we hear in part i know words i have the

best words

opinions are quickly formed not that

there was any question but but this is

pretty clear then confirmed by random

humans we've also never met

sergeant is a bigot a racist and racist

person

we think we know people uh is it balance

problems is there some weakness there

but do we really the american people by

a fluke

elected in imbecilic con man the lack of

humility from donald trump he might

order a nuclear weapons strike

this might seem like such a basic

question

but how do we really know someone

come on here i didn't even know that

there was a human being named eric trump

truth be told don't tell my husband that

while promoting my last film i met laura

trump

as she shared her story i was amazed as

an american

i've heard more about the british royals

than our current first family

crazy and is it okay to say i'm

surprised she was so

normal well as normal as you can be

while

walking the dogs and feeding the kids in

between filming segments for the news

networks

okay here we go guys good evening

everybody and

welcome to the right view i'm laura

trump senior advisor to

president trump's reelection campaign

laura has since become my friend

she's the trump i know

is everybody ready to eat are you hungry

luke

yeah would you like to eat lunch yeah

okay who am i

i never in a million years would have

imagined that i would be

in this role or be part of anything like

this

what happened ladies and gentlemen oh

thank you

broccoli so it was very polite

say thank you you're very welcome luke

i was born and raised in wilmington

north carolina

same house i came home from the hospital

to my parents

still live in today i went to high

school there i went to college at nc

state

in raleigh and then i expected like i

got out of college and oh there would be

a job waiting for me

and that did not end up being the case

um

so i it's so long

it's dirty i know it's okay um so i

ended up

waiting tables i was a bartender i was a

part-time personal trainer

for about two years after college i got

to a point where

i knew that there was something more

that i wanted to do or there had to be

something else out there

so i decided one night on a whim to

apply to culinary school in new york

city so i found my apartment and my

roommates

on craigslist which my parents

immediately thought well she's

definitely going to be dead when she

moves there

if it's not bad enough i was fully gonna

have like a movie night

at home i was gonna relax and my

roommate happened to have a friend in

town

and she begged me to go out with them

and i was not gonna go out that night

we went out one thing led to another and

i saw

this really tall guy the tallest guy for

sure

in the the place we were this this club

downtown in manhattan

and i thought to myself well tall guy

blonde

was into that and i was like okay and we

hung out that whole night we had a great

time

and when we left that night somebody

that was with our group of friends said

something like well you know who that

was

you were hanging out with all night and

i was like no and they said well that's

donald trump's son i was like what first

of all i

i knew who donald trump was i think i

knew about ivanka because i got like

teen magazine or something back in the

day and i'm pretty sure she was in that

i didn't know about don jr eric's

brother

certainly didn't know about eric and i

was like okay i didn't even know donald

trump had

a son but that's that's fine never

really figured i would see him again

and we got married on november 8 2014

which if you recall in 2016 november 8th

was election day

so that was our nice anniversary treat

i had gone down to north carolina to a

rally

in my hometown of wilmington with my

father-in-law

he did what donald trump always does he

asks people's opinions of things you

know i was from the state and that was

my hometown and blah blah blah

so he asked me about the way things were

being run one thing led to another and i

i gave him my thoughts about things and

he kind of like sat back and looked at

me and i was like oh no

either i said something really right or

really wrong and he was like you know

what

i'm going to put you in charge of

winning north carolina could you do that

for me could you win north carolina

i mean i had no idea about anything

politics-wise i had no experience in any

of this

but of course i was there in the moment

with my father-in-law and i was like

yes of course i could win you in the

state of north carolina

so as soon as i got outside i called my

husband and i was like i don't really

know what just happened but i think your

dad

put me in charge of winning the state of

north carolina um

and important state very important and i

had taken that day off of work it was

like a tuesday or something and i'd

taken it off of work

so i had to go back to work the next day

and i remember i went in

and i talked to my executive producer

and i was like um i'm pretty sure i'm

gonna need to take a leave of absence

for

about three and a half months oh no what

happened ma'am

you want some more water come on luke

let's go this way and now that people

are out golfing

the trick is to not get hit by golf

balls while we're out here too

or get in anyone's way yes obviously an

important

thing too this is generally fun when

everyone's cooperative

i mean a lot of the reason that i work

out is to stay sane

it's the one time of the day that i'm

sort of by myself don't have to deal

with anyone or anything else usually
