Barbara A. Res worked directly with Donald Trump for eighteen years on some of his biggest projects and had nearly unlimited access to him. Trump selected Res to be in charge of construction of Trump Tower, his greatest success as a developer. In this insider’s look at how the ambitious real estate developer became the most divisive president in recent U.S. history, Res takes us into closed-door meetings, boardrooms, limo rides, and helicopter flights to really understand what makes him tick and show us why his claim to be a great dealmaker and savvy businessman is just a mirage. 

No one with this kind of access to Trump during his formative years as a developer has ever written so completely about who he is away from the cameras. It’s no wonder that when the media are looking for someone who really understands Trump, they turn to Res. Candid, personal, and deeply perceptive, Res shines new light on the man whose depravity has put us all—and democracy itself—in danger.

Barbara A. Res is frequently interviewed on talk shows as an expert on Donald Trump, having worked with him for eighteen years. Res was first hired by Trump to oversee construction of Trump Tower. She became Executive Vice-President in charge of Development and Construction at the Trump Organization, reporting directly to Donald Trump. She started working with Trump on his first construction project in Manhattan, The Grand Hyatt. Res is a trailblazer, working in construction in the 1970s when few women worked in that field. With over forty years in construction in the U.S. and Europe, she is a professional engineer and has held virtually every position in the contracting and subcontracting trades. She is a construction attorney licensed in New York and New Jersey, a mediator and arbitrator in construction disputes, and travels the world as a public speaker. She has been awarded the Townsend Harris Medal by CCNY as a pioneer among women engineers and The Emily Roebling Award by Professional Women in Construction. She is a native of New York City, growing up in Queens, and is a mother of two. She currently lives in New Jersey.
