Brian Karem: Trump still sounds like a child. Karem says Trump's a misogynist, but his loathing is for everyone.

He usually talks down to women, dismisses them and belittles them. Sometimes he admires their physical attributes in such a fashion as to make the rest of us in the room uncomfortable.

But it’s not limited to women. Donald Trump is worse than a misogynist. He’s obviously a racist, but that’s not the whole story. He’s a misanthrope. He absolutely loathes everyone - unless there’s something in it for him. He believes that makes him a renaissance man. I’ve heard him say that he’s an “equal opportunity offender.” But, big deal. So is every other Medieval man.

That being said, I guess I’ve never been able to do much for him, though during his first administration I was asked by a staffer where the “Playboy After Party” was following the White House Correspondents Dinner. While we were put on alert, Trump never had the temerity to show up for the party.

Usually Trump yelled at me, or told me to sit down. Still he’d call on me and I’d ask him questions that would usually anger him to the point that I thought he might have a coronary. His face occasionally got rid. he stammered. He pointed his finger. He never called me “Piggy” but once he told me if I didn’t shut up, he’d leave his own press conference.
