In the book "Siege: Trump Under Fire" by Michael Wolff, former Trump aide Sam Nunberg draws an interesting parallel between Maggie Haberman, a prominent New York Times reporter covering Trump, and his grandmother. He expresses a sense of reliance on Haberman, suggesting that he often turns to her for insights and updates about Trump's actions and the political landscape, much like one would seek advice or comfort from a family member. This comparison highlights the significance of Haberman's reporting in understanding the Trump administration.

Nunberg's analogy reflects both his appreciation for Haberman's work and the critical role that journalists play in shaping public perception of political figures. Just as a grandmother might provide wisdom and perspective, Haberman’s reporting offers a window into the complexities of Trump's presidency. This relationship emphasizes the importance of trusted sources in navigating political narratives and the reliance individuals and society place on journalists to inform and interpret current events.
