Donald Trump has a long list of titles he’s accused of being: a liar, scammer, and sore loser to name a few. But racist is a title he earned long before becoming a soon-to-be one-term MAGA president. Former Trump Organization employee Barbara Res says saw it at play multiple times years ago while working as a vice president for the construction arm of the company. Res has a book coming out detailing her work with Trump before he became president, but shares sobering anecdotes with co-host Molly Jong-Fast on this bonus episode of The New Abnormal. Once, Trump reportedly saw a Black construction contractor working on one of his buildings when he turned to Res and said, “I never want to see that again.” What exactly was that? According to Res, I don't ever want to see the young Black kids sitting in my lobby where million millionaires are coming into my apartment. “I don’t want people thinking Trump Towers are being built by black people.” The remarks didn’t end there, though. Res also claims that Trump didn’t want Black kids to sit in his lobbies either, where he said, “millionaires are coming into my apartment.” Res also talks about Trump’s affinity to the mafia, or at least his wannabe mafia boss ruling style, and just how angry he can get over something as trivial as marble color and armoire doors. I thought, “he might hit me.” Will he get angry enough to barricade down in the White House? Res has an opinion on that, too. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rick speaks with Barbara Res, author of "Tower of Lies: What My Eighteen Years of Working With Donald Trump Reveals About Him"
"The person I hired to be my personal representative overseeing the construction, Barbara Res, was the first woman ever put in charge of a skyscraper in New York. She was thirty-three at the time . . . half the size of most of these bruising guys, but she wasn't afraid to tell them off when she had to, and she knew how to get things done."-DONALD TRUMP, The Art of the Deal Barbara A. Res worked directly with Donald Trump for eighteen years on some of his biggest projects and had nearly unlimited access to him. Trump selected Res to be in charge of construction of Trump Tower, his greatest success as a developer. In this insider's look at how the ambitious real estate developer became the most divisive president in recent U.S. history, Res takes us into closed-door meetings, boardrooms, limo rides, and helicopter flights to really understand what makes him tick and show us why his claim to be a great dealmaker and savvy businessman is just a mirage. No one with this kind of access to Trump during his formative years as a developer has ever written so completely about who he is away from the cameras. It's no wonder that when the media are looking for someone who really understands Trump, they turn to Res. Candid, personal, and deeply perceptive, Res shines new light on the man whose depravity has put us all-and democracy itself-in danger.

Barbara Res, an engineer, author of “All Alone on the 68th Floor”, and former Vice President at the Trump Organization, joins us on this episode of the This is a Man’s World, She Who Dares Wins podcast. Barbara has truly blazed her own trail in the construction industry, the only woman in her electrical engineering program in college and one of the few women working on the Grand Hyatt construction project in New York City when it was being built. Donald Trump met her during her time working on that project and he liked her tenacity and drive so much that he hired her to work for him on the construction of Trump Tower. She certainly experienced her fair share of harassment and prejudice from men around her, but she believes that it was all worth it to pave the way for the women that would come behind her in the industry. She learned to choose her battles and know when it was worth standing up for herself as opposed to when a situation was best ignored. While she wishes it didn’t have to be this way, she has seen the progress in the industry over the past nearly 4 decades and she sees a bright future for women entering the trades. Barbara has encountered some unexpected advocates for her and other women in engineering and construction along the way and she is glad that society is opening up to welcome women into more male-dominated professions. Time Stamps: 1:18 – Michelle and Barbara met at the Women in Construction event. 2:30 – Barbara’s educational journey. 4:58 – How Barbara came to be hired by Donald Trump. 7:31 – How the industry has progressed since Barbara first entered it. 11:50 – Michelle’s story of recent situations she has faced. 17:26 – Barbara provides advice for young women entering the industry. 23:32 – Is it ok to want to be liked? 25:59 – Barbara’s perspective of men championing careers for women. 33:34 – What does Barbara think of quotas? 34:52 – Can you be a mom and work in construction? 41:43 – Having the right perspective when working as a woman in construction. 44:15 – What Barbara is currently working on. 46:12 – Advice for women considering jobs in the construction industry. Key Quotes: “The industry has certainly progressed, especially in terms of the law.” “People don’t want women doing so-called ‘men’s work.’” “You have to pick your spot. You might have to be a martyr but you also may be able to stand up for yourself.” “At the end of the day, you have to respect yourself.” “Whatever happens, it is not your fault.” “Not everybody needs to be a CEO, but you need to know your capabilities.” “If you make people happy, you’ll get more out of them.” Connect with Barbara: https://www.amazon.com/All-Alone-68th-Floor-Construction/dp/1523712562 Connect with us: https://www.patreon.com/Thisisamansworld https://thisisamansworld.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/Thisisamansworlduk/ https://twitter.com/AMansWorldUK https://www.instagram.com/thisisamansworlduk/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCADDdf-5TgSb3VZJ6XcSAWg?view_as=subscriber michelle@thisisamansworld.co.uk --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shewhodareswins/message
