She’s Young, Trump-Friendly, and Has a White House Press Pass
The New York Times ^ | April 11, 2025 | Andrew Trunsky

The waitress was pouring tap water. But Natalie Winters was quick to ask for bottled.

“No fluoride for our dear dinner guest!” she said, gesturing to me. “Only filtered water and pesticide-free limes.”

We were sitting in the back corner of Butterworth’s, a Capitol Hill bistro that has become a destination for friends and supporters of President Trump. Stephen K. Bannon, Ms. Winters’s current boss, has hosted private events there. Her former boss, Raheem Kassam, the editor in chief of The National Pulse, is an investor. The menu that night featured lamb tartare, oysters brûlée and pork cheeks.

Ms. Winters and I had met for dinner, or so I had thought. “Honestly,” she said, “I’m probably not going to eat because that’s my brand. I don’t eat at restaurants because I don’t like the seed oils that they use.”

At 24, Ms. Winters has been a White House correspondent since Jan. 28. She reports for Mr. Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, whose audience includes large swaths of the Republican base, high-level officials and the president himself.

She belongs to a group of journalists from conservative outlets who have taken on a new national prominence in recent months as they jostle for positions in the cramped James S. Brady Press Briefing Room. The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has described long-established news media organizations as increasingly irrelevant while accusing them of spreading “lies.”

The White House Correspondents’ Association, which includes journalists from dozens of outlets, has criticized the new administration’s handling of the press, saying it discourages independent reporting and gives priority to those who favor President Trump’s agenda. But the elevation of nontraditional outlets has been a good thing for Ms. Winters and some other journalists in the West Wing, including those...

I know the left loves transgenderism, obesity, and ugly people, but you should pick someone else to attack.

LOL!!

Her make-up’s a bit much and the overall look is kinda prep-schoolish, but what’s wrong with the rest of her outfit?

She’s 24 years old. I have no problem with how she’s dressed.

I DO however have a problem when 40+ year old women dress the same.

Gross.

I heard her say she is called the Nazi Barbie. That is all they have.

This was a picture I found of her recently, and I think she should wear this attire to the press conferences, and when asked, say it refers to Mitch McConnell, Adam Schiff, or Cory Booker:

She seems like a nice girl! (I looked her up because I heard her on Bannon's War-Room, and had no idea who she was.)

And pretty sharp, too.

Every time an article is posted from the NY Times, it's not mentioned that it is a pay to read site. Once lured there, I was asked to sign in using my Google account, assuming I would then be allowed to read the article.

Following the log in, I could not proceed unless I paid for a subscription, which I certainly did not want to do.

It's nothing but an email trap and you should ban any and all postings from that site.

My reaction is that she could increase her credibility by dressing in a more business-like manner. If she wants to look like this, she is risking having people take her seriously. JMHO

I believe in age and body appropriate clothing for both sexes. As a senior citizen male, I try to practice what I preach.

And I am a strict traditionalist. Funeral and Weddings: full suit and tie. Work? Clean pressed clothes with necktie. Leaving the house? Clean clothes, shoes, shirt tucked in if not made to be worn out.

But that is me. I appreciate seeing people dress to the occasion, but if they don’t, I fall to the next level of evaluation. If they know of what they speak, I can overlook their clothing and general appearance.

Except for the entire “pajama bottom” thing. When I see that being worn in public, I pass on all assessment and jump right to “Slob and clown” assessment.

If she was a guy and wearing that, the Left would adore it.
