Photo: Paul Morigi/Getty Images I’d never been on Executive Foxtrot One, the presidential aircraft used to transport members of the First Family, when I ascended its red-carpeted stairs and boarded the cabin last spring to travel to a Nashville children’s hospital with Melania Trump. But thankfully, I was seated near Kate Bennett, a frequent Foxtrot flier and correspondent for CNN.
In the book, I felt a tension between your desire to be sympathetic to her, and your requirement to cover her aggressively and fairly. Anyone we cover for a long time, who we think about constantly, we’re going to develop empathy for — it would be sociopathic not to. But how do you navigate feeling for her as a human being while maintaining enough distance to perform your job?
It’s interesting, because I view my job, in part, as an attempt to humanize my subjects. And that’s not a very popular thing to do right now, in this political environment. I hear often from the left, that they think taking the time to understand the people with whom they disagree, who they think are evil, is not only not a worthwhile endeavor, but is actively harmful, is somehow a form of complicity. But your job, too, is about humanization, in a way.

KateBennett_DC I can buy this. She’s clearly paralysed from the neck up. Forget the ability to think or express a coherent thought, she can’t even manage a recognisable facial expression.
KateBennett_DC Olivia: “I try to do is look at her on the spectrum, like, she’s married to a man who puts kids in cages, and that’s horrible.” Where were you when Obama not only put the kids in the cage but also built those cages! TrumpDerangementSyndrome
KateBennett_DC Of course... if she came out with the truth, she would ruin realDonaldTrump in ZERO point two seconds. And come out smelling like roses.
KateBennett_DC Don't waste your time.
KateBennett_DC Free? I would use the words “secretive” or “negligent” or “fraudulent.” But yes, “free” works if the First Lady is only required to show up for photo ops and parties, create meaningless “Be best” campaigns, and may not even live in the White House.
