she says you don t have to like me. she s straight up about that. she s candid in the book. doesn t cast herself by some folks in the trump era cast themselves as these panacea characters trying to save the president from all sorts of deleterious acts, keep them from doing x, y, or z. she doesn t cast herself that way. let me quickly get to a couple stories. one interesting piece was a mystery i remember covering on a saturday over the course of a full weekend on mystery trip to walter reed in 2019. i remember why is he there, what s going on. she alludes, doesn t have to say it, says it without saying it, it was a colonoscopy, right? that s what she says. he did not want to go under anesthesia, did not want vice president pence to take over,
