'He has trouble answering that': Trump reportedly stumped when asked about future of MAGA
In an interview on MSNBC on Thursday morning, Time magazine editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs reported that Donald Trump struggled to answer a question about the future of the MAGA movement during his "Person of the Year" interview.
Jacobs, who participated in the 65-minute interview which occurred at the president-elect's Mar-a-Lago resort, told Morning Joe co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough that Trump seemed quieter during the sit-down and observed that the president-elect, "seems happiest on a campaign stage in a campaign and he's starting to think through what it means for this to be his last campaign."
"We found him to be much more subdued, lower volume, reflective would be an overstatement, but doing a level of introspection we hadn't seen before," he told the hosts. "Trump is most comfortable in a fight, and what we saw was someone who felt like he won the fight and is searching to figure out what his positioning is."

With Scarborough noting that the New York Times' Maggie Haberman has famously pointed out, "If you want to understand Donald Trump you have to understand that his entire life he's been fighting to survive the next five minutes," Jacobs agreed and recalled, "He's now thinking which of my kids is going to have a role –– family members. We asked him, what's the future of MAGA without Trump. He has trouble answering that question."
