Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin and Trump defender Ann Coulter were as far apart as possible as they signed their books at the East Hampton Library fund-raiser on Saturday but it had nothing to with their antithetical politics.

We try to break up the well-known people who will create bottlenecks, said a spokeswoman for the event. It worked out well for everyone. I dont think their paths crossed at all.

It was a glorious day in the center of the plebeian resistance, and I emerged unscathed! Coulter, who was signing In Trump We Trust under the watch of her bodyguard, told me.

Holly Peterson took a break from signing copies of her novel It Happens in the Hamptons to meet Coulter.

I shook her hand and asked her who she was just to annoy her, Peterson said. She handled it mildly well. But Coulter may have been less cordial when two others played the same trick.

Peterson said the gambit is a good elegance monitor especially good when you are seated next to a megalomaniac at a dinner party.

The most striking of the 100 authors in the steamy tent was interior decorator Peter Marino in his trademark black-leather ensemble, complete with biker cap. The dark fetish outfit stood out in the sea of light pastels.

Notable among the 2,000 guests were shoe designer Steve Madden, actress Tovah Feldshuh, Gov. George Pataki, architect Peter Cook, candy mogul Dylan Lauren and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.
