All the President's Women

Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator

De: Barry Levine, Monique El-Faizy

Narrado por: Barry Levine, Monique El-Faizy, Molly Parker Myers

With groundbreaking interviews, behind-the-scenes reporting, and never-before-seen photos, All the President's Women records 43 new allegations of sexual misconduct against President Trump.

During his 2016 presidential run, the revelation of the Access Hollywood tape and subsequent allegations of sexual misconduct lodged against Donald Trump looked like they might doom his candidacy. Trump survived, and the first two years of the real estate scion's presidency were marked not by controversy over his behavior around women but by the Mueller investigation.

So far, Trump has dodged the #MeToo bullet that has taken down so many once-powerful men. But despite the decades of tabloid fascination with his personal life, the story of Trump's relationship with women has never been fully told. Considering his bully pulpit in the White House, the reckoning is overdue.

All the President's Women offers the most detailed account yet of Trump's history with women, dating back to his childhood and high school days through his rise in real estate, reality TV, and politics. This book will show that Trump's behavior goes far beyond occasional "locker-room talk" and unwanted advances.

Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy detail more than a dozen new allegations against Trump, including a disturbing attack on a woman at Mar-a-Lago, an incident at a private Manhattan sex club involving a teenage girl, as well as Trump's behavior at fashion shows and beauty pageants--events that gave the future president a hunting ground to harass young women.

Veteran journalists Levine and El-Faizy tell the story of Trump from the point of view of the women in his orbit--wives, mistresses, playmates, and those whom the president has dated, kissed, groped, or lusted after.

—The Guardian

"What emerges from this compendium of reporting are disturbing patterns of predatory behavior from a man who uses wealth and power to abuse women, as well as deep insight to the cultural forces that have allowed such predators to operate free of consequences."—Esquire.com

"An in-depth exploration of Trump's tendency to objectify the women who cross his path....Explosive....The most powerful element of the book, however, is the index included at its conclusion: a list of the many, many women who have come forward to claim that Trump mistreated them. The accounts vary; the theme does not....The book also offers damning evidence, collectively, of Trump's lifelong treatment of women as playthings; it could operate just as readily as a textbook on the workings of rape culture."—TheAtlantic.com

"A thorough... history of Trump's behavior toward women...[All the President's Women] elicits disgust and anger...assembl[ing] Trump's cruelties and transgressions into one neat volume."—The Washington Post

"A searing account....An incredible tale and a necessary...volume of [Trump's] improprieties."—AOL Build

"It is [the] narration, combined with a stunning 43 new allegations of Trump's sexual misconduct, that makes All the President's Women such an impactful read. Levine and El-Faizy painstakingly document Trump's decades-long history of treating women as objects and accessories."—HuffPost

"All the President's Women shows the most powerful rapist in the world should be seen as a predator first, and a president second....Maybe this is the book that will change everything....Compelling."—Jessica Valenti, Medium.com

"Perhaps for some readers, seeing every public and alleged instance of Trump's sexism laid out in one place will be the jolt they need to reignite a healthy sense of outrage. But All the President's Women also makes the case that a lot of Trump's behavior is already normalized, which is how he's gotten away with it for so long....Worthwhile reporting."—Slate.com

"An exhaustive... compendium....With so many horrific anecdotes one after the other, the through line of the story is... the unrepentant predator."—Rawstory.com

"Perhaps the power of All the President's Women may best be summed up on page 250. In an appendix titled 'All the President's Women A to Z,' the authors list, one by one, each accusation of improper behavior against Trump. It's 56 pages long."—The Wrap

"A deep dive into the sordid sociopathy of the current occupant of the Oval Office."—The Village Sun

Bravo to the Brave Women Who Shared

With so many reasons women resist coming forward to share stories of sexual abuse, I give kudos to these who have! Most of all to Stormy who refuses to be shamed or scared!

Educational and Informative

Some things in the story rang, true from what I had heard in the past, but there were new insights from the women that lives through everything that went on that were very sad. Tragic when men at the top can get away with so much. Especially the newest one at the top. Shame on them and shame on him! All I can say is if you are beautiful and intelligent, and stay away from the White House. It appears that can only bring you heartache, shame, and nightmares from the head of the White House.

Trump: The Sexual Deviant & Conman in Chief"

An in depth, factually validated, account of Trump's sexually depraved propensities and pervasive malignant narcissism.

#PresidentPreditor

Great book with details & insight of the absolutely disgusting sexual predatory behavior of DJT. Also puts all his complicit and/or guilty enablers/powerful men. 👍👍👍

Old News

Nothing new here; no new insight, understanding and nothing which couldn’t have been gleaned from a tally of newspaper articles. Save a credit and read archived copies of the NYT or WaPo. I’m not sure what I expected, only that I was disappointed.

Rehash With Glaring Omissions

Even the title is a misnomer. Most of the stories herein have already been well-explored in the mass media. An examination of the few previously undisclosed accounts shows most are of the "he grabbed me and kissed me on the lips" variety. While trump's behavior in these incidents shocked and shamed the women, it did not rise to the level of criminal sexual assault. One incident of apparent rape is compelling, but boils down to a "she said, he said she's lying" story, as do nearly all the claims of forcible and unwanted sexual attention. The accounts of sexual assault are, in most cases, lacking documentation, currency, and first-hand sworn testimony--mainly due to alleged witness intimidation, nondisclosure agreements, or both. Inexcusable, given the book's title, is the omission of women with close ties to Trump, such as Hope Hicks and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, from the narrative. Others very near and dear to him, like Kellyanne Conway, Omarosa Mantigault, and even Ivanka Trump are barely mentioned or hurried past in a cascade of innuendoes from supermarket tabloids. Too many pages are spent retelling stories from Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants where Trump burst into dressing rooms or harassed contestants with post-midnight phone calls--all thoroughly covered in the press, all excused as "owner's prerogative" by the Trump organization. The authors spend much time with Stormy Daniels, whose story (such as it is) has been told in excruciating detail in her book and numerous television interviews. The final chapter of "All the President's Women" is a recounting of Daniels' personal appearance at a Lexington, Kentucky Strip Club. It adds a bit of heat but no light or revelation to what ends up a rehash of rumors, conjecture, and recantations concerning the sexual behavior of our current White House occupant. Sad to say, Donald Trump is a sexual predator by his own admission, as well as a petty, insecure, and unfit leader. This book is a superficial treatment of this important subject. You almost feel a high schooler could have done better research and offered more insight using a laptop and a library card.
