Katy Tur is NBC's embedded reporter with the Trump campaign and has been covering him since the beginning.
For more than a year, she's spent every day of her life looking at this deranged man and listening to him spew out any rancid vomit that pops into his "mind."
She's had to take rude/crude comments Trump has thrown at her personally.
She's had to stand in the middle of crowds of unhinged Trump fans who have found their "fuhrer," and who hate her and almost everyone else in the media.
The rest of us are stuck on the same planet with Trump. We can change the channel and/or ignore his existence. She's stuck in his presence on virtually a daily basis. Whatever NBC is paying her, it ain't close to enough.
Once this campaign is over, NBC really needs to send her for a year-long, all expenses paid, pampered vacation anyplace in the world she want's to go.
And then they must give her the job of her choice and pay her whatever she wants. She's done her time in hell.

(7,429 posts)She has gotten him on the record badgering her. He has flat-out lied to her multiple times. He looks like an absolute fool around her.
I really think she can't wait to be a foreign correspondent once again. I think Kasie Hunt is the same way.

(260 posts)The OP was about her work on the campaign which has zero to do with how she looks.

(47,602 posts)is really good looking! Women notice the men's looks too. Of course, it isn't important overall, just a little icing on the cake.

(7,476 posts)Katy is prettier than any of those women they put on Fox. She's more natural too.

(47,602 posts)I often try to imagine what it must be like for her. I don't know if I would have the stamina to follow Trump around.

(3,702 posts)bullshit day in and day out. And not just by Trump, which you can just brush off as one sociopath, but by the hordes of Trombies clawing and staggering around at the rallies
I hope it doesn't leave her permanently damaged. I know I'd have a hard time recuperating from it and she still 3 months to go.

But yeah, Katy got the meanest of them all & has handled it with aplomb!

It's really a dangerous place for her to be given that Trump has personally told her to "Be quiet," among other things. She could get punched out, or worse.
This lady has grit.

(7,476 posts)Trump sticks Katy and the rest of the press in a pen. Trump's crowds are often hostile toward them.
I follow her on twitter and she often gets nasty comments from right wingers. Trump's supporters dislike her more than the rest of the press.

(6,929 posts)She challenges him....she truly needs hazard pay.
