A few takeaways from this article:
1) The National Enquirer is even shadier than you think.
- Maxine Page, who worked at A.M.I. on and off from 2002 to 2012, including as an executive editor at one of the company’s Web sites, said that Pecker also used the unpublished stories as “leverage” over some celebrities in order to pressure them to pose for his magazines or feed him stories. Several former employees said that these celebrities included Arnold Schwarzenegger, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, and Tiger Woods. (Schwarzenegger, through an attorney, denied this claim. Woods did not respond to requests for comment.) “Even though they’re just tabloids, just rags, it’s still a cause of concern,” Page said. “In theory, you would think that Trump has all the power in that relationship, but in fact Pecker has the power—he has the power to run these stories. He knows where the bodies are buried.”
2) Karen McDougal is easily impressed.
- McDougal wrote that Trump impressed her. “I was so nervous! I was into his intelligence & charm. Such a polite man,” she wrote. “We talked for a couple hours – then, it was “ON”! We got naked & had sex.”
3) Donald Trump has no game.
- Trump, Zervos has claimed, kissed her, groped her breast, and suggested that they lie down to “watch some telly-telly.” After Zervos rebuffed Trump’s advances, she said that he “began thrusting his genitals” against her.
4) It's still gotta be hella fun to be Donald Trump.
- During the Lake Tahoe tournament, McDougal and Trump had sex, she wrote. He also allegedly began a sexual relationship with Clifford at the event. (A representative for Clifford did not respond to requests for comment.) In the 2011 interview with In Touch Weekly, Clifford said that Trump didn’t use a condom and didn’t mention sleeping with anyone else. Another adult-film actress, Dawn Vanguard, whose screen name is Alana Evans, claimed that Trump invited her to join them in his hotel room that weekend. A third adult-film performer, Jessica Drake, alleged that Trump asked her to his hotel room, met her and two women she brought with her in pajamas, and then “grabbed each of us tightly in a hug and kissed each one of us without asking for permission.” He then offered Drake ten thousand dollars in exchange for her company. (Trump denied the incident.)
5) This is truly the Jerry Springer presidency.
So why is Donald Trump so angry all of the time? He seems to get whatever he wants, whenever he wants it.
1) His dad was, by all accounts, an asshole. 2) Donald was, by all accounts, an asshole as a kid. Thus was he the only Trump brother (of three) shipped off to military school. 3) He is, by all accounts, a terrible businessman. His failed ventures are legion, he managed to go bankrupt with a casino in Atlantic City FFS, and he's somehow managed to lose money in New York real estate. 4) The only bad press is no press. It's far easier to get press as a flamboyant asshole than as a genuine human being. Did you know that his older sister was a distinguished circuit court judge? Did you know he had an older sister?
Yea, sorry, I meant that until I read her wiki just know I thought she was still a serving justice. I knew he had a sister who was a judge and who by all reports was well regarded by almost everybody who appeared before her, I didn't know she had retired.
