Donald Trump held a press conference yesterday at the under-construction Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, just blocks from the White House in Washington DC (possibly his future residence). Mr. Trump said the hotel would open ahead of schedule and under budget in September. When reporters were able to ask questions, Mr. Trump called on Alicia Watkins.

Watkins, 38, a former Air Force staff sergeant who survived the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon and served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was at the event as a freelance writer working on an article about jobs for veterans. Mr. Trump invited her on stage for an impromptu interview, and offered her a job on the spot.
