Haberman discusses how the deaths of Ivana Trump and Trump's sister Maryanne, plus the assassination attempt, made Trump reflect more on his own mortality than people assume, and describes his subdued demeanor at the RNC.
- Ivana's death during Trump's four years out of office shook him deeply, marking the first time someone really close to him had died in a long time.
- His sister Maryanne died during the campaign, which had a different effect on him.
- In 2021, Trump told people he only had six to eight years left potentially to enjoy life, which made it unclear whether he would run again.
- Trump gave a strange, muted version of himself at the RNC convention initially, then started talking more like himself once he sensed the crowd was bored.
- According to reporting, Trump's concerns about safety are why he's not traveling as much, though he also doesn't believe he has to.
