Imagine you’re mid-round at a country club, the pressure’s off, and the only person in America who truly knows how power feels at the highest level is walking beside you. You’ve spent years studying philosophy, American politics, the Supreme Court, and the workings of media. Now you finally have a chance to test those ideas in real time, not in a seminar or a newsletter, but in conversation with the man who is the story.

Most people who meet Trump are either scanning for a fight or trying to get a selfie. I would be scanning for understanding. I would be there to learn how a powerful mind constructs its world, and, in the process, to leave him with one or two questions that might actually stick with him. This isn’t just a golf round. It’s fieldwork with the most consequential political actor in your lifetime—and a chance to bring back insights that will deepen your lectures, your newsletters, and your own thinking about happiness, power, and history.
