Former executives who worked closely with Donald Trump for nearly two decades have shared their reactions to his recent criminal conviction on 34 counts, including 34 felonies. Barbara Rez, an executive vice president with a Trump organization and author of 'Tower of Lies, What My 18 Years of Working with Trump Reveals,' expressed her lack of surprise at the verdict, stating that she always believed he was guilty. She found the outcome to be a positive result for the country and noted Trump's visible shock and disappointment in court.
Jack O'Donnell, the former president and chief operating officer of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, also shared his astonishment at seeing Trump finally being held accountable for his actions after decades of alleged corruption within the organization. O'Donnell highlighted Trump's likely shift into a revenge mode following the conviction, emphasizing the former president's history of seeking retribution against those he perceives as enemies.
