-- A former Trump Tower executive who spent two decades working for Trump called him "A SUPREME SEXIST" who thinks “men are better than women”: “He told me, and he believed this, that women had to work harder and be smarter and were willing to work harder than men," Barbara Res told The Daily Beast’s Olivia Nuzzi in an interview. She also said the real estate developer blamed his early ‘90s business failures on being a so-called “women magnet,” blaming poor work done by executives while he was off hooking up with women “two and three at a time.” “Res explained that as Trump’s fame grew, his ability to withstand criticism—or even honesty—shrank. ‘He got too famous. He started believing his own [expletive],’ she said. ‘He got way too famous and, you know, people were telling him he was great and he was buying that. He started thinking that he walked on water, he really did.’”

From Buzzfeed: “The engineer said the first time he was assigned to put a mic on Trump, the real estate mogul refused to shake his hand, instead turning to one of his many assistants and saying, ‘’Whoa, whoa, whoa, who’s this [effing] monkey?’ … He said throughout all of their interactions, Trump refused to address him directly, instead aiming all of his comments about the engineer to his assistants. ‘I’m not gonna let this [effing] monkey touch me unless he washes his hands,’ Trump reportedly said, making one of his assistants escort the engineer to the bathroom and watch him wash his hands, before walking him back and reporting to Trump. ‘He treated me like I wasn’t a human being,’ the engineer said. ‘I’ve mic’d everyone from Ben Affleck to Renée Zellweger, and never, ever in my career have I run into something like that.’”
