The president 'hated Christmas' -- he loathed giving out year-end bonuses to his staff: Ex-Trump Org

The president ‘hated Christmas’ — he loathed giving out year-end bonuses to his staff: Ex-Trump Org executive
Published 1 min ago on July 9, 2019 By Bob Brigham

The former executive vice president of the Trump Organization explained on MSNBC why the president hated Christmas during the decade-plus she worked for him.

MSNBC “The Beat” anchor Ari Melber interviewed Barbara Res on Tuesday.

“I read he didn’t really vacation or take time off or spend time with many friends. Was that your experience working for him?” Melber asked.

“Yeah, he hated Christmas because he went away for a week,” she revealed. “I don’t think he wanted to leave the company alone without him. You know, we would all do something.

“Barbara, I wouldn’t say I’m an expert on Christmas and its culture, but I think when you make a list of people throughout history who hate Christmas, it’s a short list, no?” he asked.

Anyone who claims to be a practicing Christian ought to seriously consider their unthinking support for a man who supports Ba’al and Mammon in his behavior.

Or that he couldn't stand to leave his staff alone for a week. He must have known how much they all hated him and that they would do anything to undermine him if he wasn't around to watch them like a hawk.

Can you picture that fat ass skiing? I am sure is was terrible. He was furious with Ivana because she was so much better than he was. I love the thought of him being humiliated by her.
