Yes, Donald Trump and his current family cover this week’s issue of People. I guess People Magazine didn’t want to put the children from his first marriage and his second marriage in the photo? Sure. Family values! Anyway, I’m pleased to see that Trump’s support seems to be waning. Gradually. He actually has to put his back into it these days to get some media coverage and there seems to be a short shelf-life for his bullying shtick. Which is why he agreed to the People Magazine cover. More free media! Here are some highlights from People’s cover story (including some quotes from Poor Melania):
Trump knows he’s going to win: “When you see you’re number one in every poll that makes any criticism go away very quickly. If I’m able to get the nomination, my polling looks very good against Hillary or whoever it may be. I think I’ll win.”
He’s prepared to spend what it takes to get the nomination: “I’m very liquid. I can spend whatever I want,” he says. He’s saving on travel because he owns his own plane, and who needs advertising? “It’s all Trump, all the time on television. So far, I’m way under budget.”
No time for family: “I just don’t have the time that I would love to spend with my children and my wife. I see less of my grandchildren than I might like. But they get how important this is.”
Melania talks about why she’s not on the trail: “My husband is traveling all the time. Barron needs somebody as a parent, so I am with him all the time.”
Melania says she’s not “political” but defends Trump: “He is who he is. Even if you give him advice, he will maybe take it in, but then he will do it the way he wants to do it. You cannot change a person. Let them be. Let them be the way they are.”
How Trump sees his future in the White House: “It’s a little scary for Barron. He thinks he is going to be taken away from friends. But I tell him if this happens, Daddy will help people, and can help children like him, and that makes him happy.”
Melania doesn’t sound into it: “It’s a long road. I take it day by day. My husband has a lot of people cheering for him. We will see.”
LOL, what a ringing endorsement from Melania. She’s already bored and over it. Poor Melania. Just close your eyes and think of diamonds! She’s probably grateful that Donald Trump is out of town so much of the time now. As for the money stuff… Trump recently picked a fight with Forbes over what he claims is Forbes’ low-ball estimate of his assets. Forbes also claimed that Trump is nowhere near as “liquid” as he claims to be. Trump always plays fast and loose with money talk, and now that he’s released his ridiculous “tax plan,” people are getting a better look at his priorities.
Also: in the cover story, Trump says that he and Melania don’t have a nanny for their 9-year-old son Barron. When asked about who helps them out, Trump said: “We keep it down to a minimum. If you have too much help, you don’t get to know your children.” But he does have staff for housework and cooking. He also says: “I’ve always prided myself on being a good father. I tell them, ‘No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes!’ Because if you’re going to start you can’t get off!”
