One of my favorite — and, I think, one of the most relatable — parts of the book is when you nearly shit your pants right before meeting the Pope. Tell me how that went down.
When you travel with the president, especially when you are traveling to foreign countries, the people that you travel with really become your family pretty quick. … Most of the people who travel with me, they knew when I would get a stomachache. I'd be like, "Oh no, a stomachache! Gotta get to a bathroom." So we were in Rome, and it was a long trip already. And also when you're on the road, you don't know when you're gonna eat. Like, you can go all day without eating. And so it was gonna be a long day, and I decided to have some eggs for breakfast. And that, coupled with, you know, you're, like, anxious. You're gonna go meet with the Pope. It was a perfect storm. And we were walking in, and I was like, "Shit." My stomach — I could feel it. I could feel the tension in my gut. I knew it was gonna be a problem. So I find the White House doctor, I said, "Ronnie, I don't know what I'm gonna do." He found me some of the, like, presidential-strength Imodium. But they couldn't find any water. And John Kerry is there, Secretary of State Kerry, and he's like, "Are you all right?" And I'm like, "I'm fine! I'm fine!" [Laughs.] Meanwhile, I'm sweating. I'm like, "Oh my god, if I shit my pants, how am I gonna get back to the hotel?" There was no water fountain, and we couldn't find the bathroom in the Vatican. Eventually, there was some [water] for me to swallow the Imodium. [Laughs.]
