Friends and former colleagues described Hicks as a consummate professional: likable, loyal and resilient. The Post spoke with several of them for what is Hicks’s first real media profile, though only three agreed to be quoted. (Hicks herself declined to be interviewed on-the-record for this piece.)
On his plane, Trump flips through cable channels, reads news articles in hard copy, and makes offhanded comments. He’s throwing out his signature bombastic, sometimes offensive tweets. Hicks takes dictation and sends the words to aides somewhere in the Trump empire, who send them out to the world.
Next to campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and other Trump advisers, Hicks cuts a striking figure. Friends joke about her resemblance to model Hilary Rhoda, once the face of Estee Lauder.
Trump would be lucky to have Hicks with him at the White House, they say. But could he really make it there?

Hubba hubba hubba!
Hickey hope
Ai yai yai! To be 25 again ... and rich.
You’ve never worked for an employer that was a lib? Or had a manager/supervisor that was?
I cashed my pay checks. Didn’t mean I went over to the dark side. Besides, who better to learn PR from, than a flaming liberal. You gotta admit they’re pretty good at selling $#!t.
I am for Cruz but Trump shows a lot of wisdom in that his inner circle is filled with people from the Advertising industry. That’s a lesson the GOP could stand to learn.
She looks just like a young actress named Alexandra Daddario.
Who is this Hicks dame?
In reading the article, she seems like a good snag for Trump.
She is an experienced PR person (from a top firm) who was well vetted by Trump and is described by former colleagues as very good at her job, calm under pressure, loyal, smart...and did I mention vy easy on the ole eyeballs.
If Trump were to get elected, she might even be his first Press Sec.
Trump is not nearly as colloquial as his demeanor might lead one to believe.
He is a straight shooter with no affection, but he is also a very smart guy.
You don't get to be a billionaire if you are not vy smart.
