Trump tried to hook the journalist up with a fellow reporter in 2001 because of one thing, the "Way Too Early" anchor told Seth Meyers.
MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire has recalled the weird way that Donald Trump once tried to set him up with a fellow reporter.
The bizarre match-making attempt happened in 2001 when current “Way Too Early” anchor Lemire was interning for the New York Daily News and asked the future president a question at an event, he remembered on Seth Meyers’ “Late Night” show on Tuesday.
Trump “looked at me, he looked next to me, he pointed at me and he pointed to the young female reporter next to me and was like, ‘Hey, are you two together?’” said Lemire.
Lemire told Trump they weren’t dating.
Trump reportedly replied: “Well, you both have red hair so I just assumed you guys were together.”
