Letterman then reminisced on Trump’s past as a real estate mogul and New York socialite.
“He used to be kind of like the boob of New York that pretended to be wealthy, or we thought was wealthy, and now he’s just a psychotic,” the former late-night host said. “Is that putting too fine a point on it?”
“I would just like to talk to the guy,” Letterman emphasized, “because, as I said before, he knows me, I know him — what the hell went wrong?”
During Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, Lettermanshared a similar sentiment.
“I understand that he’s repugnant to people,” he said in an interview forDateline NBC’s On Assignmentat the time. “There’s nothing illegal going on. It’s just he’s despicable.”
