The New York Times interviewed dozens of women who had worked with or for Mr. Trump over the past four decades, in the worlds of real estate, modeling and pageants; women who had dated him or interacted with him socially; and women and men who had closely observed his conduct since his adolescence. In all, more than 50 interviews were conducted over the course of six weeks.
Their accounts — many relayed here in their own words — reveal unwelcome romantic advances, unending commentary on the female form, a shrewd reliance on ambitious women, and unsettling workplace conduct, according to the interviews, as well as court records and written recollections. The interactions occurred in his offices at Trump Tower, at his homes, at construction sites and backstage at beauty pageants. They appeared to be fleeting, unimportant moments to him, but they left lasting impressions on the women who experienced them.
What emerges from the interviews is a complex, at times contradictory portrait of a wealthy, well-known and provocative man and the women around him, one that defies simple categorization. Some women found him gracious and encouraging. He promoted several to the loftiest heights of his company, a daring move for a major real estate developer at the time.
He simultaneously nurtured women’s careers and mocked their physical appearance. “You like your candy,” he told an overweight female executive who oversaw the construction of his headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. He could be lewd one moment and gentlemanly the next.
The article is fairly extensive and offers some rather salacious details.
Many of them not something that you would want associated with the next President of the United States.
So as you can imagine Donald Trump took the high road and treated all of this like water off a duck's back.
Just kidding.
The failing @nytimes wrote yet another hit piece on me. All are impressed with how nicely I have treated women, they found nothing. A joke!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 15, 2016

Why doesn't the failing @nytimes write the real story on the Clintons and women? The media is TOTALLY dishonest!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 15, 2016
It is going to be SO easy to trip this buffoon up in the general election and get him to say and do crazy ass things in response to criticism.Wow, I have had so many calls from high ranking people laughing at the stupidity of the failing @nytimes piece. Massive front page for that!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 15, 2016
Especially criticisms that come from a woman.
He uses women because he can control us better and sometimes, I hate to say this, we have to eat shit in order to feed our families. Is he paying us the same as a man, doubt it.
ReplyDeleteMen he cannot control so much.
That's just what we need, a president sitting around the white house in his pajamas, firing off angry tweets, "Hey North Korea, I've got more bombs than you have, losers." Or, maybe he will have Tiffany's make him a bigger crown than the one Queen Elizabeth has just so he can tweet it to her." Take that, Queen, mine is bigger and I also have big hands."
ReplyDeleteTrump is stuck in that angry child mode which doesn't strike me as being very presidential or mature or responsible or anyone we want near the nuclear codes and the red button.
Trump has a pathological personality. Narcissistic sociopath.
DeleteAgree wholeheartedly, 2:41 PM! We (the majority), in America, have been on-to-Trump quickly from having experienced the likes of Sarah Palin on the ticket with John McCain in 2008! Remember? They lost that race and thank God they did, by a substantial margin!
DeleteI hate to say it, but Republicans are appearing to be very slow learners AGAIN in this election cycle!
"Wow, I have had so many calls from high ranking people....."
ReplyDelete----
Of course he has. So many that I'll bet he can count them on one hand.
The only place there's rank is in the military. You can be certain that nobody that rates highly in NY society has called him up to laugh about the NYT. It's a stupid Sara lie. The man is a joke.
DeleteI saw what you did there, Anonymous at 2:24p! I was going to make a joke about High Wanking people, as well, but you beat me off to it.
DeleteA really short fingered hand. He has the hands of a Hobbit. No offense Hobbits. You too Willow.
DeleteNope, that's your mind, 3:42 PM! :)
DeleteWait! What? Trump Only Makes $500k a Year?
ReplyDeleteNews comes today that Donald Trump is digging in his heels on not releasing his tax returns ever, telling George Stephanopoulos "it's none of your business" how much tax he pays or at what rate. But last night TPM Reader JJ sent in a link to a ... well, it's just a harrowing revelation that makes me think that actually releasing his tax returns could be the equivalent of heading to the ego guillotine for Trump. Some clever sleuthing by Crain's New York Business reveals that Mr Trump, as members of the entourage call him, qualified for a tax break that requires your income be less than $500,000 a year. Yes, if you make more than half a million dollars a year, you can't qualify. But Trump did qualify.
So here's the story.

DeleteCalled Senator Warren Pocahontas today....
...The jab is a part of a conservative conspiracy theory that alleges that Warren does not actually have the Native American heritage she claims she does. Apparently conservatives are not capable of understanding that a person can have a mixed racial and ethnic background. Which shouldn’t be surprising considering Tea Party types aren’t capable of understanding that a man named Barack Hussein Obama,isn’t automatically a Muslim terrorist sleeper agent sent here to destroy the United States from the inside.
DeleteOnce again, Trump has denigrated a person based on racial lines. When pressed on any issue Trump falls back to posturing as a bully. He’ll take any ridiculous notion and just run with it because he knows that his followers will simply laugh it up.
However, even the Republican candidate who seems impervious to gaffes and criticism should reconsider accusing someone of inventing an identity after recent reports of Trump’s bizarre “John Miller” scandal.

ReplyDeleteIt Gets Worse For Republicans As Foreign Policy Adviser Admits Trump Knows Nothing
The chairman of Trump's foreign policy committee Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) admitted that Trump needs to learn about foreign policy.
... SESSIONS: Well, I think he’s going to need to learn. He’s going to need to understand really completely — as you know, Martha, how complex this world is, even within Baghdad and the region around Baghdad — Kurds, al Anbar, Sunni, Shia, Iranians, so forth. It’s just a very, very complex world and you have to be careful when you commit a military force.
It is almost like Republicans are trying to make Hillary Clinton’s argument for her. The last thing that the chairman of Trump’s own foreign policy committee should ever say during an interview is that the Republican nominee needs to learn.
Hillary Clinton argument for her candidacy is that she won’t need on the job training. Clinton is experienced, and she will be ready to hit the ground running on her first day in office. Republicans, like Sen. Sessions, spent years criticizing President Obama as inexperienced, but they are supporting a candidate who by their own admission needs to learn.
The United States of America doesn’t have the time to turn the most powerful job in the world over to a guy who has already exhibited questionable judgment and whose own supporters admit is not as well informed on the issues as he needs to be.
Donald Trump is not running for the school board or town council. Republicans will nominate this man to be the next president. The idea that Trump needs to learn is not acceptable.
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/05/15/worse-republicans-foreign-policy-adviser-admits-trump.html
The problem with Trump is that he tried to make Americans feel that he knew about foreign matters. He since has shown himself to be a liar and fraud and not material to be POTUS!
DeleteHe's not qualified to represent us and 'learning' how to be presidential is NOT going to cut it!
The Republican party has screwed itself royally AGAIN!
Right on point... 2:44pm... our next POTUS shouldn't need training wheels... DUH.
DeleteI love the analogy of training wheels!
DeleteNo, I am thinking that people think he will provide them with employment. Things really are not well in the real world, particularly those without jobs or laid off and over 49 without retirement. Of course he won't but it hard to see yourself getting screwed so he provides a possibility, like buying a lottery ticket.
DeleteAnd just you wait until they find out, 4:43 PM. Don't come whining; they were warned!
DeleteAs scary as the man, it's throngs of desperate white folk who seek his approval and indicates the drift back to the dark ages. Better minds will sail a winning course.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope you're right. I'm an old white woman, married to an old white man and we are beyond appalled at what the Rs have done to this country in a few short years.
DeleteTrump is a slimy, slovenly old poontanger!
ReplyDeleteFor you younguns , a poontanger is and old perv that chases young girls. They don't have to be young as long as they are
stacked and hot, so Trump says! He looks if
you poked his arm, it would be mush.
His big belly jiggles, and that ugly mouth! Please don't go away handsome, fit,
intelligent, and just plain awesome,
President Obama!
I cannot imagine having that egomaniac even next to my body, much less giving me a kiss! He is the most repulsive boy/man, whiney asshole who has zero business thinking he is capable to be the POTUS. JHC!!!
ReplyDeleteRepublicans! Do not nominate him as you candidate! He will bring your party down even further! Sarah Palin and John McCain did it last go around! Haven't you learned any lessons yet?
Trump lies about everything and it's being proven day by day!
Thank God we've had President Obama and First Lady Michelle in place for near eight years and know what a POTUS and First Lady should be. They have represented the USA splendidly and President Obama is regard extremely well throughout the world!
Trump and his porn model wife do NOT fit the bill!
Sorry, I disagree, having tRump as the rethug candidate insures a DEM win... I'd LOVE it if he asked Palin to run as VP... they would burn like Icarus.... After-all stupid IS as stupid does.
DeleteThe guy is out of his fucking mind.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be the longest six months of my life. I'm surrounded by Trump lovers. The thought of that disgusting man being the POTUS is depressing. That so many think he's qualified is frightening.
ReplyDeleteTrump's attitudes toward women reminds me of the way I acted in the 8th grade - - - along with every other 8th grade boy I knew. Most of us got over it in a couple of years. Looks as though Trump never got out of the 8th grade.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me while I pull out my official Woman's Card to prove my opinion is valid but this kind of response is NOT going to help this old man with his gender gap. The creep factor is strong in this one.
ReplyDelete*
ReplyDeleteYeah I opened up my Sunday NYT paper and read the WHOLE article.
Trump is an immature narcissistic no boundaries turd of the highest degree.
Several women did say in the article that they wouldn't be where they are in the NYC real estate world without his help at a time when women weren't accepted.
On a side note for all the Hillaristas that say Bill ain't fair game because he's "not running for office"...
"My husband, who I'm going to put in charge of revitalizing the economy, cause you know he knows how to do it," Clinton told the crowd at an outdoor organizing rally in Covington, Kentucky. "And especially in places like coal country and inner cities and other parts of our country that have really been left out."
http://wbt.com/hillary-clinton-says-shell-put-bill-in-charge-of-revitalizing-the-economy/
I'm one, among many, that think having both Presidents Clinton in the White House will be outstanding as well as making history throughout our country and the world!
DeleteThey are a great team - have been throughout the years - and, will continue to be!
This man-child in one disturbing individual. "Stubby fingered vulgarian" doesn't begin to capture the creepiness factor of this person. He is a perversity.
ReplyDeletetRump appreciates women for two things. TITS and ASS. He bears NO respect for women who are smart, educated and powerful. I wouldn't let that creepy bastard touch me with a 100 foot hose. If he pointed one at me I'd pour acid up it to burn that itty bitty pecker off that he's so GD proud of. He is some kind of ego maniac to think that he has the smarts (roflmao) to sit in the OVAL OFFICE. He is that latest media cuckoo-bird. Hope he wins the nom, can't wait for HRC to beat his ass in the general election.
ReplyDeleteHe is easily threatened and only chooses people that will work 2x as hard because they have no choice and they will protect him.
DeleteNot a wonder that $arah supports him as she does; this is common place to her! "Boys Will Be Boys" learned at skank daddy's knee himself!
ReplyDelete3:36, IMO, Bill Clinton was one of the BEST Presidents this country ever had the pleasure of sitting in the Oval Office. I'd be EVER so happy to have him as the First HUSBAND, he'd kick ass on every first spouse that ever dreamt of sleeping in the White House, in more ways than one. Go Hillary. Welcome back Bill!
ReplyDeleteI still can't figure out why my SuperPAC,

Hillary Clinton Fights for a Win in Kentucky
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wsj.com/articles/hillary-clinton-fights-for-a-win-in-kentucky-1463355435
I've heard nothing but Trump, Trump, Trump. All year long. I turn on the tv, there he is. I check into the talk shows and there he is. Everywhere I turn, there is Trump. Of coarse, he's always been there but now it's a steady onslaught. I don't know what his plan is but at this point I would be happy if I could wipe his image from my mind. It's too much for my brain cells. He's either going to win for all the saturation or he'll lose on the over saturation. The RNC is proving what people knew all along, that they are desperate, stupid, racist, elitist, homophobic, and every other thing that works against who actually lives in this country. DT is their leader. They just have to close their eyes and start to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteOh, there he is, Mr trot out women in high heels and bathing suits to be judged like sides of beef at auction, just sex objects that also play the flute. Check their teeth so they don't cost you money later on...
ReplyDeleteThen he runs home, locks himself in the butler's quarters, and relieves his baser tendencies by sending nasty tweets to women, muslims, and hispanics.
We're onto you, Mr Trump, don't quit your day job, acting like your own representative on the phone. I'd call him a horses ass, but horses don't deserve the comparison.
I hope he doesn't pick Palin for veep just because Bristol has the nastiest in-laws ever.
ReplyDeleteHow can she have in-laws when she has never married? You have an appropriate moniker for your intelligence!
DeleteFamily breaks up after daughter shocked to find her mother is an internet troll for Trump
ReplyDeletePerry was shocked and told her mother publicly. “Your Twitter feed makes me disappointed and embarrassed of you as a person, a supposed critical thinker, and my mother. Shocked,” she writes.
It wasn’t long before Perry discovered video clips of her mother on Fox News being interviewed at a Trump rally in Burlingame, California in April. “I’m all Trump, only Trump, always Trump, forever Trump,” her mother told the cameras. Perry says those words replay over and over in her mind.
“I was overwhelmed with shame for my years of silence for not opposing her ideologies sooner,” Perry writes. “Look where it got me. Look where it got my family. Look where it got us as a nation, a country of closet racists and enablers.”
