| Abstract: | ' PLAYING THE TRUMP CARD Zucker and Trump were friends for two decades leading up to Trump's presidency. And still, Zucker couldn't quite quit their co-dependent relationship, knowing that wall-to-wall Trump equaled stellar ratings, even as it contributed to the collapse of discourse in the U.S. "Jeff is responsible for the death of nuance", as one NBC News alum who worked with Zucker puts it. Firing off a text to the network's top marketing and communications executive, Allison Gollust - who had also been his own publicist a few years prior - Cuomo wrote, in an apparent reference to CNN President Jeff Zucker, "Ask Jeff to call me plz." Risa Heller, a spokeswoman for both Zucker and Gollust, says in a statement that "Jeff never advised Andrew Cuomo", and that the notion that Gollust was "laundering advice to the Governor" was "far-fetched" and "patently ridiculous.".
