Trump Joked About Nazi 'Ovens' to His Jewish Employees

Barbara Res, a former Trump Organization vice president, told MSNBC that Donald Trump once joked about Nazi “ovens” to Jewish executives.

Said Res: “It reminds me of a time when we had just hired a residential manager, a German guy. And Donald was bragging among, to us executives, there were four of us, about how great the guy was and he was a real gentleman, and he was so neat and clean. And he looked at a couple of our executives who happen to be Jewish, and he said ‘Watch out for this guy, he sort of remembers the ovens,’ you know, and then smiled.”

She added: “Everybody was shocked. I couldn’t believe he said that. But he was making a joke about the Nazi ovens and killing people, and that’s the way he was.”

Trump is one of the least humorous people in public life. He is never funny, unless it's sadistic. Are they sure it wasn't a threat?

If you get upset, they say it is your fault, you have no sense of humor.

So you get hit twice with insults and cruelty.

They like picking on women and children who are not going to punch them out.

But sometimes they pick on the wrong person like yourself.

He was not expecting your response at a bridge game I am sure.
I would love to have seen that.

Barbara Res, a former vice president in charge of construction at the Trump Organization, recounted in an op-ed for the New York Daily News that Trump repeatedly called for eliminating braille inside the elevators despite being told that would break the law.

“Get rid of the (expletive) braille,” Trump said, according to Res. “No blind people are going to live in Trump Tower. Just do it.”

Res wrote that Trump grew angrier as the architect protested the current president’s orders and Trump generally thought of architects and engineers as weak when compared to construction workers.

“Did he think the architect would remove the Braille from the panels? Never,” Res wrote. “I had seen him do this kind of thing before and would again. He would say whatever came into his head. Ordering an underling to do something that was impossible gave Trump the opportunity to castigate a subordinate and also blame him for anything that ‘went wrong’ in connection with the unperformed order later. A Trump-style win-win.”

Does any kind of empathy for others exist for Trump?

evil, malignant, soulless, malevolent life form to ever seek public office. Unfortunately, I diagnose my country as seriously sick in even considering the election of such a monstrous cancer.

They figure he is a Nazi at heart so there is a puncher's chance he will kill a lot of Jews and they'd be willing to suffer quite a bit in exchange for that.

And it shows me that Republicans and those who support them are the weakest of us all. They say shit behind his back and then turn around and support him because they want a piece of the pie, or they are too afraid to do anything else.

They should all be shamed and disappear from public life. The other path is to renounce the Republican party and start making amends by doing everything they can to tear down the power mongers in this country who want to destroy democracy.

He struggles to emphasize with his past and future selves because he is so focused on his most immediate gratification and whims.
