In reply to the discussion: Ivanka Trump Was My Best Friend. Now She's MAGA Royalty [View all]jayschool2013
(2,312 posts)33. The icky paragraphs
Mr. Trump always handed over the credit card after a little feigned outrage about how much money he was giving her mother. He would barely acknowledge me except to ask if Ivanka was the prettiest or the most popular girl in our grade. Before I learned that the Trumps have no sense of humor about themselves, I remember answering honestly that she was probably in the top five. Whos prettier than Ivanka? I recall him asking once with genuine confusion, before correctly naming the two girls Id had in mind. He described one as a young Cindy Crawford, while the other he said had a great figure.
Though he never remembered my name, he seemed to have a photographic memory for changes in my body. Ill never forget the time Ivanka and I were having lunch with her brothers at Mar-a-Lago one day, and while Mr. Trump was saying hi, Don Jr. swiped half a grilled cheese sandwich off my plate. Ivanka scolded him, but Mr. Trump chimed in, Dont worry. She doesnt need it. Hes doing her a favor. Conversely, hed usually congratulate me if Id lost weight.

Her "silence" was not saying the stuff she's saying now, after the fact, too late for anything

All I see is stuff like 'I'm disappointed in her' ... it's not proof of crimes or something ...

If you're referring to Melania's friend, Melania put out some retaliatory tweets.

That's it. There really is nothing anyone says that knew them, that would change any minds

Interesting. Being BFFs when you're a young teen (13+) is so intense it casts a glamor over ...
