The friend – comedian Tom Sainsbury – revealed in a radio interview that Ardern had told her Trump was “not as orange in real life” and that he had been confused about her identity. “Second-hand someone observed that they thought that it happened, but in all my interaction, certainly President Trump didn’t seem to have confused me when I interacted with him. I then had an interaction that suggested he [Donald Trump] knew who I was, that was at the point where I was properly introduced which probably cleared it up.” Ardern said. Tame continued pressing Ardern on whether she had told the full truth regarding the incident, or whether she had misled New Zealanders. This is not the first time Ardern has revealed unusually sensitive information about her dealings with the US president.
