“Based on the fact that I work for Donald Trump as his secretary—and therefore know him well—I think he treats women with great respect, contrary to what Julie Baumgold implied in her article … I do not believe any man in America gets more calls from women wanting to see him, meet him, or go out with him. The most beautiful women, the most successful women—all women love Donald Trump.”

Remember this? It was published during the time that John Miller and John Barron were representing Trump. Many, many people strongly believe it was written by none other than Trump himself.
This has been around for a long time but I was keen to read what Julie Baumgold, referenced in the message, actually wrote. I can only find one copy online of Julie Baumgold's article, from the New Yorker, 9 November, 1992. Unfortunately it's from Google Books and impossible to copy/paste but here is the link to the scanned article in it's entirety.

If the link screws up, it starts on Page 36 and is called: "Fighting Back: Trump Scrambles off the Canvas". It's about his rebuilding of his empire after the bankruptcies of the early 90s.
I'm posting this now because I don't believe the man has changed in the 30 or so intervening years. He thinks Covid is just another fight that he can beat down and win.
