Barbara Res worked as Donald Trump’s executive vice president and senior vice president for 18 years and has often been referenced by Trump in speeches where he combats claims that he’s a misogynist.

“He’s terribly sexist. He’s a womanizer for sure. He hired me for a specific reason: Because I was really good. And he told me, and he believed this, that women had to work harder and be smarter and were willing to work harder than men, and that’s what he wanted, and he had a couple of women working for him… ‘Men are better than women,’ he said.”
