If we look at the larger context, she was referencing candidates (plural) in general and not Trump in particular. Because the noun was neither identified as a man or woman, she used the correct pronoun.

I understand your concern and I presume that you can find verbal hiccups irritating. Phrases such as would of, could of, should of, ain’t, kinda like, and people that put themselves first (me and my friend, I and my mom) all grate on my nerves.

No, she used the singular noun "person". "Their" is not a pronoun. It is a possessive adjective, and it is plural, not singular. You could look it up. So, the correct possessive adjective for "person" is either "his" or "her" depending on the gender. Traditionally, an unknown person is referenced by the masculine possessive adjective, "his". "His or her" or "his/her" are perfectly acceptable now, but "their" is not singular, so it is incorrect.
