Carly Simon says 'repulsive' Donald Trump was 'all over me like ugly on an ape' when they met



Carly Simon says 'repulsive' Donald Trump was 'all over me like ugly on an ape' when they met

Carly Simon may have had a strong bond with at least one important White House figure — her latest book, Touched by the Sun, documents her close friendship with former first lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis — but Donald Trump certainly wasn’t it.

In an interview with the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper, the singer recounted her run-in with the man who would become president. Though Simon doesn’t say precisely when the Trump encounter happened, it was at a New York luncheon for Benazir Bhutto, the Pakistan prime minister who was assassinated in 2007, and therefore long before the billionaire turned to politics.

Simon said that Trump “wasn’t paying any attention” to her, focusing instead on the “dignitaries” at the gathering. But then Bhutto invited her to discuss her music in private, which may have piqued Trump’s interest.

“When I went out of the bedroom, obviously I had all of a sudden become important through the eyes of Donald Trump,” the “Anticipation” singer said. “So he was very anxious to meet me and invited me to Mar-a-Lago and was all over me like ugly on an ape.”


Simon declined the invite, however, “because I thought he was kind of repulsive.”

Unless we believe putin spent billions and 30 years developing the perfect stooge and then sat back and let YOU AND ME decide on election day

Nope and he aint gonna let us decide next time either...unless we overwhelm the voting and the SO CALLED FAR LEFT dont stop BASHING democrats, we will be under full fascist control months afterwards

I am willing to bet everything that Eliot Rosewater owns that Mueller report* is just damning.

BTW Russia could not have done "it" without inside help in the U.S.. Paul Manafort, Brad Parscale,
Facebook/Zuckerberg, Sean Hannity, the Mercers, Kris Kobach, and members of the Trump Campaign
step up and take you bows.

Bannon to Kushner talking about Paul Manafort three days before the 2016 election: “they are going to try and say the Russians worked with wiki leaks to give this victory to us... can’t let word get out he is advising us.

Hadn’t seen it before, thanks for posting. Really deserves its own OP.

I heard a piece on NPR some time last year dealing with trump’s use of Facebook to win the election, and the interviewee said they gave the option to Hillary’s campaign to work with them in the same way (create a strategic point person or team within FB) and it was declined. Really seems not a good decision, in retrospect, whatever the downside would’ve been.

I would agree--leave the apes alone. They may not be handsome to us, but they ARE our cousins (a few thousand times removed....)

One of whom was Warren Beatty (adding that she thinks Beatty thought the whole song was about him).

the song does not quite fit. The subject of the song was at least handsome, I gather.
