Reporters Alcindor, Collins, Jiang get under Trump's skin

NEW YORK (AP) To anyone who's watched, there's more that binds Yamiche Alcindor, Kaitlan Collins and Weijia Jiang than an impromptu display of teamwork at a recent White House news conference.
Each reporter has a knack for getting under President Donald Trump's skin and an equal ability not to let it knock them off stride.
They symbolize the test of covering a White House like none other, with a president who views the press as an enemy yet is accessible almost daily. A question may elicit a candid response, misdirection, falsehood or attack you never know what's coming.
Trump has reacted to questions by Alcindor, Collins and Jiang by calling them nasty or racist, and effectively telling the journalists to pipe down.

Trump seems to be intimidated by strong women and sees them as a threat. We need more like them.
