YUCK. This is the “condolence” that Donald Trump wrote for Kelly Preston when her son died:

The Trump Files: Donald's Words to a Grieving Mother
After Kelly Preston's son died, Trump said he "worked like hell to try and pick her up."


In January 2009, Kelly Preston and John Travolta's son Jett passed away at the age of 16 after suffering a seizure while on a family vacation. Four days later, Trump wrote a blog post dedicated to Preston on the website of the now-defunct Trump University, which has been sued by the state of New York and former students over claims of fraud.

The mogul expressed his condolences to Preston for her loss, but not before he mentioned the time he tried to sleep with her. According to Trump, the attempt failed.

Who litter the news channels remind me of scientologists

Fake smiles - complete devotion to their leader - immune to factual evidence - won't budge from their positions however absurd

Picking up women? He feels the need to remind everyone he's irresistible to women?

Oh yeah, everyone wants him. That's why women only marry him for his money. Does this anus on the earth really think Melinoma would give him the time of day if he didn't have any money?

Kelly Preston and Travolta are worth far more than Trump will ever be. Such a vile "condolence" to a woman that just lost her son makes my skin crawl.

22. Doubt He Gets Laid

I doubt he gets laid as much as he claims. He tries so hard to make people believe woman are falling over themselves to have sex with him. When you have to pretend to be your publicist to claim that you have had sex with Madonna and that so many women are trying to have sex with you that you have to turn many of them down you are most likely not getting laid as much as you claim. I would not be surprised to learn that Donald Trump has a hard time picking up women.

he writes "before I was married"

Well, he was married in 1977 at the age of 31 and divorced in 1991
then married again in 1993 and divorced in 1999
then married again in 2005

He met his second wife in 1989 and began an affair with her ??? Presumably even before the first divorce.

There's a fairly small window in there between the divorce in 1999 and the dating of Melania. In fact he was in a relationship with her in 1999.

I guess some couples separate and then consider that it is okay for each of them to sleep around or date other people even though they are still legally married.

So if this story is true, it would seem he was trying to cheat on somebody at the time.

Of course, it is possible that this happened even before the marriage in 1977.

You know, when Kelly Preston was 14 and Trump was 30.

eaten anything today.

This is completely barf inducing. I wrote on my FB: "You have to be completely overflowing with narcissism and utterly void of empathy to write something like this."
