oh this is good...Ex-Trump Employee Says On-The-Job Harassment Was Constant

[sasha031]

The contemptible Donald Trump has in recent years enjoyed popular success through telling people “You’re fired!” on television.

Those situations may have had their TV-land veracity but do not portray what real-life victims of Donald Trump’s incessant on-the-job harassment have had to suffer. At that, we should not brush under the carpet, as though it were of no consequence, the fact that many Jewish groups and individuals think that with his television shows, Trump empowered anti-Semites whenever doing so appeared advantageous to his television ratings.

Baritone Julian Long, a gay man, worked during his student days in Trumpets Restaurant, interior-designed by Trump’s then wife Ivana Trump. Julian reports that Donald Trump as a fixture of the restaurant subjected female employees to frequent sexual harassment, forcing them to endure the lewd and lascivious remarks he made to them. Trump, furthermore, often harassed, demeaned and humiliated his gay employees by referring to them collectively as “the faggots.” Donald Trump, in other words, abused his position of power as an employer to degrade his employees, bullying them on the basis of their gender and/or sexual orientation.

2. I've always had a good relationship with "the faggots"

:puke:

[franzia99]

3. lol

[spooky3]

5. hahaha! and with "the broads"...

[sasha031]

7. lol is right

I have always hated this piece of trash, as far back as the 80's when he 1st cameonto the scene.

[nxylas]

30. I've never got why he's hailed as some kind of business guru

He inherited most of his wealth, and has several failed businesses behind him, including a casino. Yes, you read that right, he lost money as a casino owner.

[NewJeffCT]

31. Three bankruptcies, three marriages

but, the religious reich loves him...

[femrap]

34. I heard he filed bankruptcy on the

casino because it gave him some type of 'tax' advantage. I say put him where Leona, 'Queen of Mean,' had to go.

He's even more despicable than she.

The fact that he has a TV show really says something about how far our nation has fallen into the depths of a slimy ooze of 'culture.'

[rhett o rick]

38. Too many people of America believe that wealth means superiority. nm

[malaise]

18. Good one

:D

[Aerows]

28. I'm waiting for him to say exactly that

It would be about par for the course with him. He's so crude.

[valerief]

36. Bwahahaha!

:rofl:

He's such an asshole that a remark like that from him wouldn't surprise me.

4. Republicon Family Cesspool Values

The Repugs just do not do decency or honor.

[immoderate]

6. I have some good friends in NY real estate. Some have dealt with Trump directly.

I've never encountered anyone with anything nice to say about him. Those are the polite ones.

--imm

[rasputin1952]

12. I know one individual that knows Trump directly...

and in a conversation a few month's back, (before all of this hoopla), Trump came up.

Even his family can't stand him, he's fleeced them out of tens of millions; he is a know-nothing blowhard and is considered to be an idiot in the business world. At one time, it was the inside "thing", to do exact opposite of what Trump did and one could turn a profit, but if you listened to Trump, you'd be in the toilet by Noon.

Anyone harassed on the job should file a suit, whether it's Trump, or anyone else...employers should never abuse their employees.

[KurtNYC]

24. Trump has stiffed architects and contractors

There is a stereotype of family-built companies:

The first generation builds it, the second generation screws up the business, then the third generation screws the world.

[monmouth]

8. I asked my younger son one time if he would like me to get him an

application to work at Mar-a-Lago during season as a bartender. His response included a wish to have bamboo poked in his eye or under his fingernails before that ever happened. I asked why? He is a friend of my boss at the time and I had at least an "in." Restaurant people have their own "communication tree" for want of a better description, and to work for Trump is the bottom of the barrel. I didn't press it but thought it was interesting. Much of his staff during season are foreigners and then return home after season is over.

[sasha031]

9. I how I hope he gets the repub nomination

can you see it, everything coming about. 24hr coverage on this piece of trash's history.

[monmouth]

10. Oh yeah, give Ivana a couple of drinks and she'll spill it all along with

Marla Maples mother. No love lost there. Trump makes Roxanne Pulitzer look like a maiden..LOL. Rush is a neighbor of the donald's so I don't expect he will have much to say, like Reeeeeg, often a guest at the club.

[rhett o rick]

40. When the time is right and if needed Rove will spill the beans.

IMHO, the republicans' overlords arent interested in wasting a good candidate (good in their warped minds) on a race with Pres Obama. They will encourage the whack-a-doodles to fight it out as a distraction to the damage being done by the Republican controlled Congress. This doesnt mean that the corporations arent going to be flexing their CU muscles tuning up for 2016 when the overlords will bring out Jeb Bush, the savior of the dysfunctional Republican Party.

11. I met him when Trump Towers was almost completed

I was a secretary working in the area and standing around there watching the hoopla. He came up to me and asked if I wanted to take a tour of "his" place. Hmm. What the hell? I went. He showed me around the building and the "penthouse suite", bragging all the time and making passes. I ignored it. Having worked for one of the top corporate offices in Manhattan and seen their executive suite on the 45th floor with ming vases, oriental rugs, crystal channelers, etc.,and even flown on their corporate jet, it didn't impresses me very much as a native Manhattanite. He struck me as a conceited, braggart, womanizer. I told him that I had to get back to work, and thank you, very much, and left as fast as I could.

This was my experience of meeting The Donald.

[monmouth]

13. Oh HockeyMom you will love this. I live three doors down from what

used to be "Trump Towers" a condo building on Flagler in West Palm. He lost it when the market went sour,filed for bankruptcy, but still claims it was one of his crowning achievements down here. What an ass..

[HockeyMom]

16. Doesn't surprise me

Very true.

[lumpy]

20. Thanks for your story. Trump should be exposed for the scum that

he is.

[Booster]

14. I'm going to say something good about The Donald.

Unless they have me completely fooled, I do think his kids (all of them) are really good people. I doubt that The Donald had a whole lot to do with this and their mothers should probably get full credit for how they turned out. When I watch them together I do wonder how they could really respect the piece of shit that is their father. He seems to be the exact opposite of what they are, which is respectful, calm, reserved and compassionate. I know they didn't learn any of those things from him.

[HockeyMom]

17. Yep, give credit to ALL of their mothers

ALL is the key word.

[nilram]

21. Don't forget the kid's nannies.

Maybe he knows how to hire good help.

[spooky3]

23. I agree. Unfortunately, there are many examples of men who behave well

toward their children (and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here) but behave badly toward others.

And, it's a little different point, but how many of us here at DU have conservative parents whom we love, even though we detest their views on some topics?

[HughBeaumont]

25. Ivanka, while likely a nice person, is a laissez-fail right-winger economically.

Not at all an economic progressive, and has gone on CNBC and Faux to air her views on Obama (specifically stating she's "Frightened for the future") and the same old "git th' gubmint off bizness's BACKS" crap.

[liberalla]

26. They look scared of him, IMO.

I bet they've seen his anger and felt his insulting belittling wrath once or twice. They do everything they can to be his perfect, brilliant, obedient children---all to make him look good.

[BREMPRO]

35. ? his son Dodo Jr. seems to be a small minded leering creep...

He's a twinkle out of dad's ass... His daughters on the other hand seem bright and normal...



"...a recent Thursday, just before 8 a.m., the younger Trump entered his father's spacious office down the hall.

"How's my boy doing on the Phoenix project?" he asked in that familiar voice that has become widely known through The Apprentice show on television.

"If he's not doing a good job, I'll fire him," he joked."

ha ha..

[UTUSN]

15. K&R #28 n/t

[Raine]

19. Trump even makes crude remarks to the celebrity women on his Appentice show

he's a disgusting POS. :puke:

[bullwinkle428]

22. Several years back, on another board I frequented, one of the

very well-respected members of that board mentioned his dealings with Trump, as he was involved in the construction business himself. Anyway, apparently Trump had an absolute hair-trigger temper, and would blow up violently if someone had a disagreement with whatever he happened to express. This guy mentioned that Trump actually threw a book or some other potentially dangerous object at someone he was mad at!

Like I said, this was probably a good 10 years back, but I can still recall his post even today.

[L. Coyote]

27. Whatever you do, don't pay attention to the candidate that will be nominated. Still too early

to go after the real threats to victory in 2012, right?

Will anyone remember Trump when the real campaign starts?

Is all this improbable candidate stalking a ruse? a distraction?

Place foils in front of the likely nominee as long as possible .....

[SpankMe]

29. NYC is strongly Democratic...

...and with some pretty progressive areas within it. I'm surprised to not hear more outrage, if not criticism, of Trump from more citizens of that city. I was really hoping for a loud backlash.

[PatSeg]

32. "Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me...................."

None of this surprises me at all and I find it delightful that all his attention-mongering has brought out all the worse stories about the man.

I've noticed that whenever his wife appears with him, she looks like being next to him is a very painful experience. Can you imagine living with him?

[femrap]

33. Leona Helmsley

was imprisoned....surely we can do the same to this despicable white dude. Of course, da boyz are allowed to be 'MEAN...' not so much the women.

Surely he has 'fudged' on many a tax return.

[alp227]

37. maybe Clarence Thomas can go work at that restaurant after leaving the Supreme Court

And i believe Long's story since I know that Trump is a narcissistic, selfish bastard.

[MadMaddie]

39. Why am I not surprised?

He is a ignorant bully and thug with money.

[Taverner]

41. Why does this in no way surprise me?

I can totally see Trump pulling the Don Draper and pinching the new girl on the ass to see her reaction...
