Nothing like it had ever happened to reporters covering any previous major party candidate for president. Everyone covering Trump at NBC was under armed protection outside the venues. By the end of the campaign, she needed private security at all of Trump’s rallies. Trump’s relentless attacks on the press in general and Tur in particular were among the most revolting aspects of a repellent campaign, and they made Tur a hero to the decent people who were familiar with her fair and thorough work. “I’ve heard him insult a war hero, brag about grabbing women by the pussy, denigrate the judicial system, demonize immigrants, fight with the pope, doubt the democratic process, advocate torture and war crimes, tout the size of his junk in a presidential debate, trash the media, and indirectly endanger my life.” Even the briefest summary of Trump’s outrages during his 500 days on the trail is still almost entirely unbelievable: Tur’s subtitle is “My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History”, and there is barely a page in her book that does not confirm that description. That isn’t really so surprising: on 19 October, this one was published: “Buzzfeed CEO: I Heard Ivanka Trump Talk About ‘Mulatto Cocks’.” “No one can do it,” she recalls in her new campaign memoir, Unbelievable.
