Trump to be interviewed by The Atlantic's Jeffrey "SignalGate" Goldberg [1]

The editor of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, now famous for reporting of SignalGate, is going to interview Trump, along with Michael Scherer, a reporter for the Atlantic, and Ashley Parker, now a staff writer for the Atlantic, correspondent for the Washington Post and political analyst on MSNBC.
There isn't a spot open on Trump's calendar for this, Trump says later today, possibly while he's signing executive orders at 4:30 pm, but normally there are a group of reporters for that.
Trump gives Goldberg a nice intro before launching into grievances.
"... the person responsible for many fictional stories about me, including the made-up HOAX on 'Sucker's and Losers'..."
Bad timing Donald. You just brought up the story that everyone knows is true because your Chief of Staff John Kelly, a Marine Corps General, a person far more trustworthy than you, says you said it right to him, directly. You did call fallen soldiers "sucker's and losers."
"... and, SignalGate, something he was more 'successful' with."
Trump not only acknowledges the veracity of the story, but he actually calls it SignalGate like everyone else is. Even goes to the trouble of capitalizing the G. He even introduces the other two writers.
"The story they are writing, they have told my representatives, will be entitled, 'The Most Consequential President of the This Century.'"
The title is correct, Donald, but not in the way you think. This is not going to be flattery. They're going to rip you apart. You'll figure that out from the questions you'll be asked. This is not Breitbart, Fox or Newsmax.
I expect we'll get some, "What a stupid question," or "You're a nasty reporter" responses. I hope they at least audio record it, if not video record it.
"I am doing this interview out of curiosity, and in competition with myself..."
Competition with myself. I am trying to figure that out unless he's talking about being able to handle hardball questions.
"... just to see if it's possible for The Atlantic to be "truthful.'"
He's already laying the groundwork for calling it fake news. That's what happens anytime he stupidly talks. Seeing as how all he knows how to do is lie, that's why I hope they make a recording for backup.
"Are they capable of writing a fair story on 'TRUMP'?"
That psychotic third person again, referring to himself. All caps to show his importance.
"The way I look at it, what can be so bad --- I WON!"
The story isn't about you winning. It's about the destruction you've left in your wake.
I imagine The Atlantic won't wait for the printed version to come out with the interview. Three newspeople from the same organization is unique. Are we going to get three stories, or just one?
There will probably be a story about the story, before we get the interview.
This should be very interesting.
