"It took a woman."

Here's a fantastic commentary by Barbara Res. She was the project supervisor for Trump Tower and has very interesting insights into the personality and character of her former boss.

Here's an excerpt:

Trump wanted Pelosi to be the speaker because she was a woman. He figured he could walk all over her. Trump was also armed by his delusional belief that he understood government and politics better than anyone in the world. And she wasn’t even a lawyer. (Trump has always been intimidated by lawyers.) When the time came, Trump would be ready for Nancy.

But the President forgot something. Nancy had no boss he could go over her head to. Diminishing her looks and demeanor would be ineffective because of her position. What worked on female reporters and political opponents would fall flat when applied to the speaker of the House.


The rest of the op-ed is here:
