Barbara Res, a former vice president of the Trump Organization, said that in the early ‘80s The New York Times published a piece on narcissism. She said that a member of her team brought the piece in for them to read, and they all agreed it accurately described their boss.
“Being the team who was charged with building Trump Tower, we all knew Donald Trump very well, especially myself,” Res told the publication in an email. “To a person, we all agreed that the characteristics outlined in the article fit Donald to a ‘T.’ Now, 35 years later, professionals are saying what we knew back then. Only now he is so much worse.”

She added, “It is gratifying to see a confirmation of our speculations. I pray America survives his presidency, for however long it lasts.”
After the NY Daily News published her statement, Keith Olbermann, a longtime Trump critic, tweeted his thoughts on her statement, writing, “I walked away from interviewing him for CNN Sports in 1984 asking my producer “‘what the eff is wrong with THIS guy?'”
