Yet another book about Donald Trump is due to be released, and it reveals that the former president is even more homophobic than most of us imagined. That book, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America by New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman reveals that Trump has a long history of homophobic behavior.

Nowhere is that more evident than during the AIDS epidemic that broke out during the 1980s. In an excerpt obtained by The Daily Beast, Trump developed the habit of calling reporters to find out if the people he’d shaken hands with were gay. Any man that Trump considered weak was called “queer” or “faggot” (although obviously not to their faces). Ever the jerk, Trump bragged he paid one executive that he believed to be “queer” less than others.

And when he wasn’t obsessed with his homophobia, he was busy objectifying women. The Daily Beast reports:

“Trump’s conversations with associates would frequently lean toward ‘lurid detail[s]’ of sexually explicit topics. It was more than 30 years after the fact, the book contends, that even after the Access Hollywood tape became public, Trump would refer to his hot-mic moment on grabbing women by the ‘p*ssy’ as merely ‘locker-room talk.'”

Haberman also notes that Trump tried to present himself as hyper-masculine and was obsessed with the sexuality of those in his inner circle. At one point, while he was meeting with Mike Pence and Jason Miller, his former advisor, he said, in reference to Miller, he said “You know how sometimes someone turns out to be gay later and you knew? This guy, he isn’t even one percent gay.”

Not content to have outdated ideas about women and gay people, Trump also had a particularly crude attitude towards trans people. There’s an instance where the former president and then-adviser Reince Priebus were part of a group of people discussing same-sex bathrooms. Priebus pretended to be a female trans student who was about to use the girls’ bathroom.

Right off the bat, Trump asked:

“Cocked or de-cocked?”

Everyone was suitably confused.

“De-cocked?” one unknown individual remarked.

Not exactly the king of subtlety, Trump made a “chopping gesture.”

“With cock or without cock?” he responded.

Shocked, his advisers wanted to know what difference this makes, and Trump fired back, “What if a girl was in the bathroom and someone came in, lifted up a skirt, and a schl*ng was hanging out?”

I don’t know that any of this is all that surprising. This is the kind of man Trump has always been. He’s always been a misogynistic, racist, and homophobic man, and he’s only been interested in his own pursuits. It’s pretty telling that his fear of catching AIDS led him to question who had it and who didn’t. He certainly wasn’t asking so he could find out if these people needed help. He’s a vulture among lions. But unlike Trump, real vultures serve a purpose.

Haberman’s book is scheduled for release on October 4.
