My mom was an executive assistant for two Jewish brothers who ran a construction company in the '80s. They were in competition with Trump on some real estate deal and lost out to him. For some reason they had to make a pilgrimage to Trump Tower to go on bended knee. When one of the brothers introduced mom, Trump his usual graceful manner said, “Which one of these two Jews did you have fuck to get your job?”.
@GottaLaff
Trump’s assistant, who mom said was evil incarnate, immediately popped up with, “Probably both of them!”, which, of course, gave Trump a hearty laugh. Mom said one of the brothers started to stand up to punch him out, but mom stopped him, saying it wasn’t worth it.
She never mentioned it to anyone before because she was embarrassed about and wanted to just bury the memory, but she finally told me and my brothers when he became the nominee.
@Wileymiller@GottaLaff I am so sorry. Your mom, however, was the true and graceful person in that situation. She sounds like she was an elegant and wonderful mom. 💕
I’m so sorry this happened to your mom. TFG is evil incarnate. I can’t believe there are people at ALL that still support him, let alone any women.
And yet there are.
Will one more revelation make a difference? I don’t know. Whatever you decide, I support you.
@GottaLaff
I'm not certain if that assistant for Trump was Rhona Graff or the one who predated her, but the timing is right around the time she came to work for Trump.
@Wileymiller@GottaLaff I heard a a young woman recall how Trump forced her dad, an electrician, into bankruptcy when she was a child. Trump refused to pay him. They lost their home & worse.
There are others out there.
Contact Anderson Cooper
anderson.cooper@turner.com
They would want to vet the story and discuss the content with their lawyers to protect them and you.
My other suggestion is Ronan Farrow, but I can't find an email. He is on Twitter.
@PattyHanson@Wileymiller I don't think this is a Ronan story, but Cooper may be interested. I've already reached out to Raw Story, which gets a lot of eyes that differ from those who read/watch CNN, so between the two... hopefully...
@GottaLaff@Wileymiller I get furious each time I hear a story like this because I know he did bad things to so many people who ended up losing everything.
@GottaLaff@Wileymiller
I’m not entirely sure publishing the story at this point is a good idea. You would be opening up your family and your brothers’ families to horrible attacks from the MAGAt faithful. For just for one more data point in an already large pile of them. Would it possibly change someone’s mind? Maybe. I doubt it. At the very least, your brothers deserve a say in the decision.
@qurlyjoe@GottaLaff@Wileymiller Please don't misunderstand BUT this is what Trump relies on - people who are afraid to speak out. It's how he gets away with the behavior. Fear and lawsuits. That's why you take the story to a news reporter. They do the vetting and get legal counsel. We have to stop being afraid of him.
@qurlyjoe On the other hand, it could change some minds, and staying quiet about his atrocities is what he wants. He wants to scare us into submission. @Wileymiller
@GottaLaff@Wileymiller As long as they check out the story and publish, we can take down fucking Trump. Nobody ever talks about his antisemitism, but he's known for it.
@fmhilton@Wileymiller And WileyFace, because you’ve got cred (your comic), they’d likely interview you. And you are SO good at communicating well, you should do this.
