Selina Scott met tycoon Donald Trump while profiling him for ITV in 1995
She said the experience had both 'revealing and excruciating' moments
Scott gained insight into Trump's lavish lifestyle and psyche during stint
She claims after programme she got mail from Trump calling her a 'loser'
Even by the extraordinary standards of Donald Trump, it was a creepy chat-up line. We were at 30,000ft on Trump’s private jet flying to Florida, when he showed me his white leather double bed. ‘I like beautiful things,’ he purred seductively. ‘That’s why I like you so much.’ This was just one of many revealing and excruciating moments during the two weeks I spent with Trump in 1995 while making a 60-minute profile of him for ITV – a fortnight which started with a charm offensive, but ended in bitterness, recrimination and intimidating letters that only stopped when I threatened legal action.
It is a curious truth about Trump that he believes the more obnoxious he is the more successful he becomes. Intimidation is a brutal weapon he has used all his life when the sweet-talking fails to get him his own way. So it comes as no surprise to me that this is a tactic he is using to such effect in the strangest wooing of the American electorate in the nation’s history. The more he trashes America, the higher his approval ratings. When he insults Mexicans, calls for a ban on Muslims, disrespects women and declares he will ‘bomb the s***’ out of Islamic State, a cheer goes up.
