b'Donald Trump has a long list of titles he\\u2019s accused of being: a liar, scammer, and sore loser to name a few. But racist is a title he earned long before becoming a soon-to-be one-term MAGA president. Former Trump Organization employee Barbara Res says saw it at play multiple times years ago while working as a vice president for the construction arm of the company. Res has a book coming out detailing her work with Trump before he became president, but shares sobering anecdotes with co-host Molly Jong-Fast on this bonus episode of The New Abnormal. Once, Trump reportedly saw a Black construction contractor working on one of his buildings when he turned to Res and said, \\u201cI never want to see that again.\\u201d What exactly was that? According to Res, I don\'t ever want to see the young Black kids sitting in my lobby where million millionaires are coming into my apartment. \\u201cI don\\u2019t want people thinking Trump Towers are being built by black people.\\u201d The remarks didn\\u2019t end there, though. Res also claims that Trump didn\\u2019t want Black kids to sit in his lobbies either, where he said, \\u201cmillionaires are coming into my apartment.\\u201d Res also talks about Trump\\u2019s affinity to the mafia, or at least his wannabe mafia boss ruling style, and just how angry he can get over something as trivial as marble color and armoire doors. I thought, \\u201che might hit me.\\u201d Will he get angry enough to barricade down in the White House? Res has an opinion on that, too.
