Trump Spent '93 White House Correspondents Dinner Ogling Attendees

As an invited guest to the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 1993, Donald Trump spent the entire evening ogling — and making lewd comments about — women at the event, at one point moving a fellow guest stuck seated next to him nearly to tears.

In an editorial by Graydon Carter published online Tuesday, the Vanity Fair editor-in-chief explains Trump had been invited as a “novelty guest” to the function, meant to make a splash in tabloids on Vanity Fair’s behalf.

Trump was seated at a table with other such guests: Christopher Hitchens, Bob Shrum, Barry Diller, Diane von Furstenberg, Peggy Noonan, Tipper Gore, and Vendela Kirsebom, who at the time was a prominent runway model. Carter sat her next to Trump.

“After 45 minutes Kirsebom came over to my table, almost in tears, and pleaded with me to move her,” he writes. “It seems that Trump had spent his entire time with her assaying the ‘tits’ and legs of the other female guests and asking how they measured up to those of other women, including his wife. ‘He is,’ she told me, in words that seemed familiar, ‘the most vulgar man I have ever met.’”
