Former Trump Exec Alleges More Examples of Trump's Racism/Bigotry

“Bigotry and bias control Donald’s view of the world,” writes Barbara Res, who worked with the president for 18 years.

Barbara Res, who was vice president in charge of construction at the Trump family company, recalls her former boss’s offensive comments about Black people, women and Jews in passages from “Tower of Lies: What My 18 Years of Working With Donald Trump Reveals About Him” that were obtained and published by the Los Angeles Times on Friday.

“Bigotry and bias control Donald’s view of the world,” Res wrote in her book, which will be released Tuesday.

In one passage, Res recalled Trump’s anger at seeing a Black man working on the construction of Trump Tower; Trump didn’t want people thinking his flagship building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan was being built by Black people, alleged Res.

Trump also cracked a Holocaust-themed joke in front of Jewish executives and routinely spoke in meetings about women’s looks, Res said. She also claimed that Trump once ordered her to fire a woman just because she was pregnant.
