What we learn from this book is that Donald Trump’s apprenticeship as a sexual predator began long before his celebrity with The Apprentice. He frequented Times Square’s sex dens, seducing young models in the 1970’s and 1080’s, and hunted them relentlessly throughout his three marriages.

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.… (más)

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...… (más)

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.… (más)

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.… (más)
