This book largely failed my goal for most books; tell me something that I don't know. There was one tidbit that did surprise me. On page 153, reportedly black and white nude photos of Melania Trump were given to some guests at the Donald and Melania wedding. Says a lot about Donald but also says a lot about Melania if this is true. This book contains incidents of hundreds of bad and inappropriate behavior of Trump. Trump has never really denied that he has behaved poorly with women. "Grab em by the pussy" will be the Trump mantra that historians will remember him by. Disturbing book but not exactly bombshell material given what we see every day during this administration... I shelved this book as DNF, but it isn’t because the book is not good. The book is so heartbreaking, I find it triggering and worsening my mental state. It is articulate, fast paced, engaging and full of interesting stories and accounts. Every page is another account. That’s what gets oppressive: the sheer volume of Trump’s predatory practices, out in the open, with the world (sometimes even partners) turning a blind eye. It is making me lose my faith in humanity. I think this is an important book. I am keeping it for the day I am stronger. In the meantime, it is hard to not remain angry at the mere need for its existence. Guess what, Trump's a sleaze ball. But that should not faze anyone because we hear it everyday in the media. This book takes on his dastardly deeds concerning women. A compilation of anything and everything that the bad boy has done. Yet the Evangelicals give him a pass. What does that tell us about them. Maybe they can turn to Mike Pence for repentance. There is no question Trump has not treated women with great respect, to put it mildly, and his leering nature is creepy. Particularly when he pops into the beauty pageant and modeling dressing rooms. Also kissing women on the lips. Groping the 'P', now we won't even go there. I will simply borrow a line from "sticky finger" Uncle Joe here, "C'mon man!" Now granted Bill Clinton was never this wayward. That's because he was the medias guy and we did not hear everything. So the bottom line here is, if you hate Trump you will be rewarded with see, see, see. If you like him it is doubtful you will read the book. And if you are an Independent, like me, you will read for the voyeurism and say, yes I figured as much and certainly don't condone it, but I am also somewhat immune to political dastardliness. We all know President Trump has been accused by numerous women of a variety of sexual offenses, but this book takes these to a new level. In a well researched work, the authors look at Trump's history of women from childhood on. They also discovered numerous other allegations by new women, including from teenagers at the time of the offenses, as well as his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Combine these with Trump's offensive remarks about various women, including his daughters, with his lack of empathy and you have the perfect predator. While this was horrible in a businessman, it is so much worse when it is the president of the United States. Trump is a horrible man.
All the President's Women is breezy but heavy. Unlike Stormy Daniels' 2018 bestseller Full Disclosure, none of it is entertaining. Not surprisingly, the White House declined multiple opportunities to rebut the book's contentions. It takes us from Trump's days growing up in Queens to his arrival in the Oval Office and chronicles everything in between, mommy and daughter issues included. Much has been heard before, some is aired for the first time, little is pleasant, plenty is disturbing. The book rests upon firsthand interviews, transcripts and prior reports. It also contains a detailed appendix that lays out its sources. Said differently, if you can actually believe Barack Obama is a crypto-Muslim born in Kenya to a cocaine-addled Martian, then opting in to at least 50% of All the President's Women should be a no-brainer. We all know the story by now. In 2005, Donald Trump was caught on tape bragging that his fame allowed him to sexually assault women. In 2016, as he was running for president, that recording, the so-called Access Hollywood tape, was made public, resulting in a stream of women coming forward and alleging that Trump had groped or otherwise sexually assaulted them. He was elected anyway; the women's stories didn't seem to matter. But they should.
"Based on groundbreaking original reporting, an extensive new look at Donald Trump's relationships with women, revealing new accusations of sexual misconduct, exploring the roots of his alleged predatory behavior, and illustrating how Trump's presidency has helped catalyze the #MeToo movement and revitalize women's activism" Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

He often paid far more than most of his colleagues to have pretty women accompany him into the public eye, he paid to have sex with them frequently, and he used every trapping of his inherited wealth to bring more girls on board.
His fascination with pretty girls led him to start a modelling agency and of course purchase the Miss Universe Pageant.
Did he really want to be in these businesses? Nah. He wanted to see the contestants naked in the dressing room. He wanted the naive young women to bow to his authority and do his bidding.
To land a wet kiss on their lips and shove his wet tongue into their mouths.
Donald Trump frequently complemented his assignations by telling them they reminded him of his daughter. Yuck!
It seems Melania went into her marriage with her heavily made-up eyes open and knowing full well she wasn’t going to reform her husband. And he was fine with her even after she gave birth as long as he never saw her in the bathroom, or heard her pass wind.
Donald Trump may be one of the strangest dudes ever, but it should not be forgotten that the milieu from whence he came was full of disgusting characters. They adore celebrity, cavort with gangsters, and entertain themselves by preying on the weak. ( )
