  • A discussion with Monique El-Faizy, Co-Author of the book All The President's Women: Donald Trump and the making of a Predator

    We discuss the book "All The President's Women: Donald Trump and the making of a predator with Paris-based Author & Journalist Monique El-Faizy, who co-authored the book along with Barry Levine. In this episode, we correlate how Trump's upbringing and his treatment of women over the years correlate with his attitude and treatment of other disenfranchised groups, specifically African-Americans. We go beyond salacious stories of Trump's exploits and present stories as told to the authors after years of research by men and women who have varying perspectives on Donald Trump as a person and a business personality. We discuss what it means to be a benevolent sexist. We also discuss how Trump ascended to the highest office in the land to become the leader of the most powerful country on earth.  Riveting, lively, casual, the author focuses on fact based storytelling, a cross section of incidents from people who think Trump is a nice guy from those who do not. The book and this podcast goes beyond Donald Trump, but, digs into those systems and institutions that enable white men of power to abuse, threaten and manipulate women without fear of reprisal. We conclude our discussion with steps we can take to make how we engage each other in a healthier more inclusive way.
