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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Investigative journalists Levine and El-Faizy (God and Country) deliver a thorough and disturbing rundown of President Trump's attitudes toward and interactions with women in this sobering account. The authors claim that 67 women have accused Trump of "inappropriate behavior, including sexual harassment or sexual assault," and state plainly that "Donald Trump is, and has been for some time, a full-blown sexual predator." Levine and El-Faizy note multiple infidelities in each of Trump's three marriages; numerous claims that he has groped and forcibly kissed women on airplanes, during business meetings, and at parties; instances in which, as owner of Trump Model Management and the Miss Universe pageant, he barged backstage when women, many of them underage, were undressed; and rumors that he regularly offered adult film actresses $10,000 for sex. The book's most salacious, if poorly sourced, charge is that Trump was filmed having sex with a porn star and an underage girl at a private brothel in Times Square in the early 1980s. By and large, however, Levine and El-Faizy succeed in laying out a credible pattern of misogynistic and predatory behavior, much of it supported by Trump's own words on the infamous Access Hollywood tape and in interviews with Howard Stern. Though it rehashes much previously reported information, this somber narrative makes a strong case that Trump's history of sexual misconduct goes far beyond "locker room talk."
