NYMAG: What It’s Like to Be a Female Reporter Covering Donald Trump

http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/09/what-its-like-to-be-a-female-reporter-covering-donald-trump.html

When Olivia Nuzzi walked into Donald Trump’s office on the 26th floor of Trump Tower, she wasn’t sure what to expect. She’d seen the Republican nominee up close before — in media gaggles covering campaign events for the Daily Beast — but they’d never been introduced. She was there to interview Trump for a story she was writing about his campaign manager, Hope Hicks. Hicks herself had declined to be interviewed, but Nuzzi figured Trump, as her boss, would be an ideal source.

Trump was there behind his “enormous” desk — “he looks like a plankton behind it,” she said — and Hicks was there, too. “She was obviously nervous about having a reporter there,” Nuzzi said. “I don’t know why, but she turned to Trump and said, ‘This is Olivia, she’s very young.’ Trump looked at me and said, ‘Very young and very beautiful.’”
