Res has spoken out publicly against Trump, particularly about his treatment of women, including in opinion articles in the
New York Daily News and
The Guardian, as well as interviews with
CNN,
Rolling Stone,
The New York Times, and
Rachel Maddow of
MSNBC in 2016. Information provided by Res was also included in a June 2016
Atlantic story by
Dan P. McAdams, a psychology professor at
Northwestern University and author of the book
The Strange Case of Donald J. Trump: A Psychological Reckoning. In 2018,
The Washington Post described how Res' description of her experiences at the Trump Organization offered support for
Bob Woodward's book
Fear and an anonymous
op-ed in
The New York Times that was then attributed to a senior administration official, because "Both works describe a president whose orders are not always carried out by those around him." After the announcement of the formal impeachment inquiry into Trump in 2019, Res told CNN's
Brian Stelter that she believed Trump was unfit for office, and he might resign "to save face," depending on the outcome of the impeachment process. In a 2019 news analysis,
The New York Times wrote that Res "sees in Ms. Pelosi a new challenge to Mr. Trump's lifelong tactics." In April 2020, Res wrote an opinion article in the
New York Daily News that recounts an experience from her work for Trump and expresses concerns about his leadership during the coronavirus pandemic. Before the November 2020 election, Res told
Jane Mayer of
The New Yorker that "One of the reasons [Trump]’s so crazily intent on winning is all the speculation that prosecutors will go after him," and suggested that Trump could follow through with his musing on leaving the U.S. because "he can do business from anywhere." After the November 2020 election, Res spoke with
MSNBC’s
Ari Melber, suggesting Trump will "do anything" to stay in office, and both
The Independent and
HuffPost wrote that her comments echo an op-ed by President Trump's niece,
Mary Trump, in
The Guardian.
People magazine also reported on Res' interview with Melber, as well as her past advocacy, and her new book,
Tower of Lies. In a November 6, 2020 report by
Inside Edition, Res is quoted for her opinion that Trump may leave the country after Biden's inauguration. In a
Politico report published on December 1, 2020, about Trump's intention to restart foreign deals, Res is quoted for her opinion, including "There are two things that make him run — ego and money. Looking at it from the point of the money, he’s going to have people who give him money to build Trump towers." In a December 20, 2020 article titled "Is Trump Cracking Under the Weight of Losing?" in
Politico Magazine, writer Michael Kruse quotes Res for her opinion, "And he's not indestructible." ==Works==
