Trump urged Melania to strut around in a bikini so Mar-a-Lago members could gawk

https://www.rawstory.com/melania-trump-mar-a-lago/

https://archive.ph/pSSBU



Describing how he wormed his way into Donald Trump's circle of Mar-a-Lago admirers, Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt recounted how the former president confided he wanted Mar-a-Lago members to get a gander at his barely clothed wife Melania.

In a deep dive by the New York Times on Pratt's growing relationship with Trump that led to him being made privy to U.S. government intelligence, Pratt was heard in covert recordings obtained by “60 Minutes Australia” talking about conversations he had with the former president who is currently facing 91 criminal indictments.



Included in those conversations was Trump bragging about his third wife wife Melania, a former model. According to the Times, which was given access to the recorded interview, "Mr. Pratt also describes on the recording how Mr. Trump asked his wife, Melania, to strut around Mar-a-Lago in her bikini 'so all the other guys could get a look at what they were missing.'"

The report adds, "Mr. Trump, the current front-runner for the Republican nomination, had almost no relationship with Mr. Pratt before the 2016 election. But after, Mr. Pratt used his money and flattery to get on Mr. Trump’s radar: He lavished praise on him in public appearances, bought newspaper ads that hyped Mr. Trump as a job creator and became a member of Mar-a-Lago."

The Unhinged Moron kept calling John Bolton, then his national security advisor, "Michael Bolton" for reasons having to do with the occupant of his metro Atlantic City home.



From Inside Edition:

The FBI dossier states that Maples’ former publicist, Chuck Jones, testified in court that she “had bought singer Michael Bolton back to her room following Trump's departure for a West Coast trip.”

..... Melania is more of a toy poodle rather than a human being. TrDumpie adorns her with rhinestone doggie collars and parades her around to inflate his gluttonous ego's need for misogynistic eye candy. While he proudly boosts his bona fides of arrogant and toxic masculinity.

His base worships him for acting this way. They have elevated him to the next up and coming James Bond who out maneuvers everyone in times of personal danger while being a renowned slim, trim, and dapper ladies man.

AS IF.......

Why is she still married to Trump? Doesn't she know he's broke and he's on his way to a very long prison sentence? I guess she's too old to get herself a new rich husband!

I would assume the younger guys would be for funzies...when gold digging, the older and sicker the better and quicker to croak, thus life insurance, property, etc. I'm thinking Robert Kraft, Rupert Murdoch, rich guys with one foot up to the knee in the grave.

Play along until you get the ring, then lock the separate bedroom door at night until he gives up the ghost.

Even going to a disaster zone. Everything is about appearances for that bag of shit. Who cares if she ruins her feet and back, just as long as she looks "hot" next to you.
