I love the makeover the Democrats gave the Bush family as soon as Trump showed up. Chef’s kiss Dems! Can’t wait for the Trump make over! 🤡
Jenna is one of the best interviewers of authors working today. She clearly loves books and admires writers and I always learn something from these conversations.
First off being from the today show isn't a flex, secondly she should probably limit the amount of visual time she has.
