The recent release of President Donald Trump exposé Fire and Fury really shook the table and it seems another tell-all book is on its way.
Mother Jones printed an excerpt from the upcoming book Russian Roulette, which exposes details of a 2013 trip Trump took to Russia for the Miss Universe pageant. This is the trip during which the more salacious incidents of the controversial Steele dossier supposedly took place.
In the excerpt is a claim that Trump would nix some of the women of color contestants if he felt there were "too many" of them competing.
The book, written by Michael Isikoff and David Corn, claimed that Trump would screen the contestant list before the televised event and would "toss out finalists" to replace them with contestants that were more his type.
“If there were too many women of color, he would make changes,” a Miss Universe staffer told the writers.
“He often thought a woman was too ethnic or too dark-skinned. He had a particular type of woman he thought was a winner. Others were too ethnic. He liked a type. There was Olivia Culpo, Dayanara Torres [the 1993 winner], and, no surprise, East European women,” recounted another Miss Universe staff member.
“If he didn’t like a woman because she looked too ethnic, you could sometimes persuade him by telling him she was a princess and married to a football player,” said another staffer.
Additionally, Trump would also supposedly cut finalists who had “snubbed his advances."
“In short, no woman was a finalist until Trump said so,” read the excerpt.
