I.

They never saw this coming

This interview took place
at Trump Tower
How would you describe
the past six months
The past six months
have been the apex

People say, “You’re successful
because you work hard.”

I do work hard
They never saw this coming

So many people work hard.
But they don’t often get
what I got,
which was my shot
and my time

to execute
to execute
to execute
to execute

They never saw this coming

And that’s very
rewarding
because my life reflects
the American Dream
writ large
writ large
writ large

They never saw this coming

When you’re on Team Trump
trying to be an anchor
in the storm
The storm the storm
incoming that we took.

Accept what God has coming
what a blessing

opportunity
he never said
He never said
he never said
to execute
to execute
to execute
to execute

They never saw this coming

I don’t consider
myself
a feminist

They never saw this coming

They never saw this coming

You called his supporters
“downright nasty.”
You said he built
his businesses
on “the backs of
the little guy.”
You said he should release
his tax returns,
said his language was
unpresidential.
So why did you decide
in July
to join his campaign?

II.

They never saw this coming
Those are cherry­picked comments
They never saw this coming
I always have supported him
They never saw this coming
Thought he added a great deal
They never saw this coming
Yes, but when you said —
They never saw this coming
Yeah, those were situational
They never saw this coming
You have to understand
They never saw this coming
What Women Really Want
They never saw this coming
Women women women
They never saw this coming
He didn’t say he did that
They never saw this coming
Right, he said he could do that

I understand why women
I understand why women
Do you know any women
Many
They never saw this coming
They never saw this coming
