When Donald Trump was preparing to debate Hillary Clinton in 2016, he had an oddly specific question for an imaginary transgender student: “Cock or without cock?” This scene of crude, transphobic behavior is just one of the revelations in New York Times Trump reporter Maggie Haberman’s soon-to-be-released book. Haberman presents Trump as a boorish homophobe obsessed with sexuality and appearing masculine—often to the horror of his aides—and details several instances, over decades when Trump’s true colors shone through. According to an excerpt obtained by The Daily Beast, a week before the second debate unfolded in St. Louis in 2016, Trump’s close adviser at the time, Reince Priebus, presented the aspiring political figure with a question on same-sex bathrooms. Throughout the book, Haberman details how the now-former president would also frequently engage in guessing who might be gay. For example, when the AIDS virus began spreading in New York City in the early ’80s, Trump phoned reporters to find out if people he’d met and shook hands with were gay. But that was mild for the early Trump years. Trump’s conversations with associates would frequently lead toward “lurid detail[s]” of sexually explicit topics. Elsewhere in the book, former Trump employees said the now ex-president would show off photos of women he knew intimately as a display of his “masculinity.” “They also recalled Trump mocking gay men or men who were seen as weak, with the words ‘queer’ or ‘faggot,’” Haberman continued.
