MIDTOWN — Wonder who she voted for?

A woman was arrested for calling the CEO of Trump Hotels every day for nearly a year — and showing up at Trump Tower more than once — claiming she was supposed to meet with him about a job, authorities said.

Nevada resident Pey Lim, 33, walked into Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue around 2:35 p.m. on Dec. 7, 2015, and asked to see Trump Hotels CEO Eric Danziger, police and a complaint with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office said.

Danziger has run the Trump Organization’s hotel management company since his appointment in August 2015.

Trump Tower security told Lim to leave the building and not come back after she showed up on Dec. 7, but from around Dec. 20, 2015, through Nov. 15, 2016, Lim called Danziger’s office every day, the DA’s office said.

On some days, Lim would call and leave voicemails up to 50 times, the DA’s office said.

Lim also showed up to Danziger’s office asking to meet with him about a job she claimed she was owed on several occasions, police said.

She was arrested and charged with stalking and harassment after she showed up at Trump Tower around 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 15 and claimed she had an appointment with Danziger “about a job opportunity,” police and the complaint said.

She was released on her own recognizance the next day and is expected to appear in court on Jan. 10, the DA’s office said.

The Trump Organization and an attorney for Lim did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday.
