ZERO CREDIBILITY
Barbara Res, the former employee of Donald Trump and current fan of Hillary Clinton, who talked to every liberal mainstream media outlet about what a sexist Trump is. Unfortunately for her, the Trump organization saves all of their emails, including all the ones she sent and they prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is a liar. Donald Trump hired Res as the boss overseeing the building of Trump Tower at a time when no one hired a woman for that kind of work.
Once the tower was completed, Trump hired her for contract work but then fired her. She then turned to the law and Trump wrote glowing letters of recommendation to her law school and to the bar association. She flopped at the law and her husband lost her job. She then began contacting Trump Organization senior vice president Rhona Graff. (Another high ranking woman). Her emails were very different early than they were after Trump refused to hire her back:
THEN AND NOW: BARBARA RES ON DONALD TRUMP
BEFORE TRUMP TURNED DOWN BARBARA RES FOR A NEW JOB:
——–
2013 BOOK: Trump ‘was the least sexist boss I ever had as far as trusting me and viewing me equally with all the men we encountered in our mutual dealings.’
JUL. 2013 LETTER TO TRUMP:‘I credit you with giving me a big break, and treating me, in contrast to your reported demeanor, in a very non-sexist way.’
SEPT. 2013 LETTER TO TRUMP EXECUTIVE RHONA GRAFF:‘I portrayed him honestly and said that he was very smart and not a sexist.’
2013 SELF PROFILE ON ‘STEMINIST’ WEBSITE:‘Think what you will, Donald Trump and his wife Ivana were my biggest promoters and he gave me unbelievable opportunities.’
FEB. 2014 EMAIL TO GRAFF: ‘I always tell the truth and I think I am better at promoting Donald than putting him down.’

AND AFTERWARD …
FEB. 2016 NEW YORK ‘DAILY NEWS’ ESSAY: ‘[H]is public denigration of women and his association with objectifying activities like Playboy and pageants have the overall effect of blunting any assertion that he is not sexist. … Even a cabinet full of women would not mitigate the disastrous effect implementing his proposals would have on the welfare and progress of women in our country.
MAY 2016 ‘NEW YORK TIMES’ FEATURE: We had a big meeting once. I grabbed one of the women in the office and sent her in to get lunch orders. Donald said, “Not her.” She didn’t look great. He got another woman to take the lunch orders. That was purely about looks.’
MAY 2016 ‘NEW YORK TIMES’ FEATURE, ON A ‘BEST SEX I’VE EVER HAD’ HEADLINE ABOUT TRUMP AND MARLA MAPLES: ‘He absolutely loved that. He waved it around the office. “Did you see this?” Everyone who worked there were kind of horrified. We all thought it made him look bad. He didn’t.’
MAR. 2016 CNN INTERVIEW: ‘He used to have very strong women who he listened to, and gave a lot of authority to, but I doubt if that’s the case now.’
MAY 2016 IN ‘THE HILL’: ‘I don’t think he has the temperament necessarily for this kind of work. He’s not necessarily, in my mind, presidential material. … I think that it’s a direction that’s xenophobic and not women-centered or, actually, anti-women. I just don’t think that moving forward in his direction is moving forward at all. I think it’s moving backward, very seriously moving backward.’
There is also a definite disconnect between what she wrote in her her book:
‘I know you’re a woman in a man’s world,’ Res told the Times Trump had once confided in her. ‘And while men tend to be better than women, a good woman is better than 10 good men.’
In her memoir she adds that Trump declared: ‘I was that woman.’
‘He meant that but I don’t think in a sexist way,’ she explained in the book.
‘I think he was saying that most women don’t have the stomach for the industry and that most of the men you ran into were blase and ordinary. But a woman who had achieved something was invariably far superior to the men in her class.’
Recalling her cameo on the TV quiz show ‘To Tell the Truth’ – appearing as herself, ‘the first woman in the world’ to lead the construction of a major skyscraper – she reveled in being a pawn in Trump’s promotion exercises.
‘Donald was an incredibly supportive boss, even if his reasons were suspect. … I did a good job and Donald was good to me,’ she wrote.
Res framed herself as a Donald J. Trump intimate, referring to him as ‘DJT’ – in the status-dripping style of the real estate tycoon’s closest deputies today.
‘When I started with DJT in September, 1980, I was the real “Apprentice.” We were inseparable,’ she wrote. ‘I learned from him, and he learned from me. We learned together.’
And ‘Donald NEVER asked me to do anything that wasn’t 100% above board, mostly because in my dealings with him he was pretty much on the up and up,’ she added.
‘Donald knew I would not do anything dishonest or illegal. Of course I bent the rules or played them like they are meant to be played. And that was good enough.’
Trump says that Res was competent but had a very foul mouth and that he had to warn her about it:
He remembered Res as a competent and aggressive construction boss who barked at contractors and cursed like a sailor to fit in with a workplace heavy on testosterone and light on courtesy – even though she was the boss.
‘I called her into my office once, years ago, and I said, “Barbara, you’ve got to clean up your mouth. What you’re saying is horrible.” She was using the F-bomb with everyone, you know, screaming at men – screaming at them!’
Trump claimed his chief operating officer, Matt Calamari, recognized her on CNN in March and reminded him of her daily verbal blue streaks.
‘Matt was working with her on job sites,’ Trump said Monday. ‘He told me, “I can’t believe this. I’m watching Barbara Res on television. She had the most foul mouth of any human being I’ve ever come into contact with”.’
