Trump refers to himself as 'The Donald' asking out Christie Brinkley (while still married to Ivana)

“My phone rings and this guy goes, ‘Hey, Christie, it’s The Donald.’ I say, ‘Hi, Billy,’ because I was dating Billy at the time,” Brinkley told Porter magazine (via Harper’s Bazaar). “But the voice goes, ‘No, no. It’s The Donald. I hear you’re leaving for Aspen tomorrow. I am too. I’d like to give you a ride on my private jet.’

Major sleaze bucket alert: someone who refers to himself in the third person while attempting to ask you out lmao. Is it any wonder all of his wives were/are foreign? Foreign women aren't able to spot the red flags since they aren't familiar with American culture and "The Donald" takes advantage of that.

No one is ever permitted to have an opinion about a group of individuals which they themselves do not belong to. Forgive the grammar.

its not their fault they were taken advantage of by a sleaze bucket who cheats on them with porn stars. foreign women don't know about his history since they don't read American news.

called me "Die smirkymonkey" or they would call a man "Der John" or whatever his name was if they were speaking about a specific John or sometimes they would refer to themselves as die or der and their name. This is mostly done in Bavaria and Austria, so maybe Ivana and Melania thought it was a regional dialect thing with "DAS Donald".

By the way I saw no slur there. Women are often naive to other cultures.

Maples was widely known as Trump's gold-digging mistress who married only for his money.
it certainly wasn't for love.

I found her to be a genuinely nice person.

Had the chance to meet her back in the early 90's when she was still with The Asshole. But I suppose time can change people
