My Night Out With Trump’s Young Maga Crowd

It’s 5.30pm at the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC and a Texan couple have just come over to our table. “You’ve done a fantastic job,” they tell my guest. “Keep giving them hell.” Mike, Kim and their son Cash are in DC for a few days on a trip and have just spotted one of their idols: the podcast host Natalie Winters. Kim comes up to compliment her on her denim hotpants. She’d thought about wearing something similarly outré this evening, but had been told the dress code was a little more, well, conservative in Washington. “Oh, you should have worn it,” Winters replies. “That’s why you have to do it even more.”
