In an interview with Vanity Fair, the host said Trump " would send me press clippings about me that he would just sign "Donald Trump" and he also occasionally called her to compliment her on her segments.
Donald Trump, on Twitter at least, appears to be taking a pass on Megyn Kelly's Vanity Fair cover in which she insisted, "I can't be wooed", while describing Trump's effort to do just that shortly before announcing his presidential run. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees.
Kelly is vowing to stay neutral on Trump's candidacy, despite his constant attacks, saying she is neither for, nor against him.
Towards the end of the article, the author relays a brief, candid portion of her conversation with Kelly and the interviewee's husband, the novelist Doug Brunt.
"You've called women you don't like "fat pigs", "dogs", "slobs", and "disgusting animals", she began, before asking Mr Trump whether he had the "temperament" to serve as president. Trump later criticized Kelly for her line of questioning, claiming she "behaved very badly" and calling her a "bimbo" in a follow-up tweet. Trump, as he does, hit back, still when the dust settled, it does not seem in that he laid a glove on Kelly, who emerged a more revered figure for her candor & fearlessness.
Kelly became a focal point while moderating a Republican debate last August, when she asked candidate Donald Trump about his previous comments about women.
"I would have crawled over a pile of hot coals to make it to that debate", she said. "And I can say with confidence that neither Bret nor Chris wanted to read my questions-for many reasons!"
Primarily, labeling Kelly a "feminist" isn't something that sits well with the woman herself, explaining to Vanity Fair that "her accomplishments speak for themselves and have nothing to do with her gender". "Blood coming out of her wherever".
"But I can't be wooed", she continued.
"I think we have to go to the supreme law of the land to answer that question", Bundy rebutted. "And then when he announced he was running for president, it became more clear", Kelly acknowledged in the interview.
According to the magazine, Kelly "delights in recalling past instances when people stupidly underestimated her", such as when Newhouse turned her down.
