Report: Donald Trump an Even More Horrible Bigot Than Previously Thought

trust man also reveals this charming incident, via rolling stone:

It was January 2017, and newly-appointed President Donald Trump held a reception at the White House to meet top congressional leaders. Hors d’oeuvres were on the menu. And the new president turned to a line of racially diverse Democratic staffers and asked them to pick up the snacks, according to [the] book.

“Why don’t you get the food,” Trump told senator staffers Chuck Schumer, Representative Nancy Pelosi, and others…. Then the White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus rushed to correct Trump’s comment, telling the then-president that he had just addressed top congressional staff before going to find the actual White House waiters.

At other times, according to Haberman, Trump would brag to people visiting the White House that he had his private bathroom remodeled in the White House, which one guest “interpreted… to mean Trump didn’t want to use the same bathroom he had.” its black predecessor.”

Of course, black people were far from the only ones on the receiving end of Trump’s not-quite-disguised biases. According to CNN, the book chronicles an episode in which Trump was preparing for a debate in 2016, when Priebus, playing the part of a transgender student, asked the candidate at the time whether a trans woman could use a girls’ toilet.

“I have a question,” Trump said to a roomful of people, Haberman said. “Tense or upset?” After the group reacted with blank stares, Haberman writes, Trump made a chopping gesture. “With or without cock?” he asked.

Cisgender women were apparently given the same level of respect.Per The Daily Beast:

It was… in the ’80s, while he was at an evening wear dinner with his first wife, Ivana Trump, when the topic of Brazilian women came up. “They have so much pussy hair,” Trump said. According to Haberman, New York socialite Tony Gliedman’s wife, Ginny, stared at Trump as he delved into how Brazilian women often wax.

Elsewhere in the tome, Haberman reportedly writes that Trump would often show his employees photos of women he’d slept with and, while serving as president, referred to the German chancellor Angela Merkel as “that bitch.” Or Nikki Haley, his ambassador to the United Nations, the then president would complain, “Can’t we do better lighting or give her better makeup?” Before Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, he reportedly joked about her deteriorating health, putting his hands in false prayer and saying, “Please, God. Please watch over her. Every life is precious.”

Of course, Trump also had many thoughts about gay men. Former Trump associates, Haberman writes, “remembered that Trump mocked gay men, or men perceived as weak, with the words ‘queer’ or ‘faggot.’ bullying; former director of the Trump Organization Alan Marcus told Haberman that Trump would “belittle” another executive who Trump said was gay and “bragged that he paid the executive less.”

In a statement to CNN, Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich suggested that no one cares that the ex-president is an even more horrible person than previously thought, telling the outlet: “While coastal elites are obsessed with boring books brimming with anonymous mistrust, America is a country in decline. President Trump is focused about saving America, and the fake news can’t help it.”
