Marla Maples, Donald Trump Wife # 2 -- Scams from the Great Beyond -The Presidential Edition

 

 Another patented "TRUMPinfoDUMP" from the cut parts of "Scams from the Great Beyond -The Presidential Edition." 

 

Marla Maples, Donald Trump Wife # 2

                Trump met his next wife Marla Maples and they began dating in 1989, which is kind of a shame as he was still married to his first wife, Ivana, mother of three of his children, at the time. The relationship, the affair, the scandal, the divorce was all astonishingly public, in part because Donald liked giving interviews to the press about it. To me, the most interesting thing about this relationship was the way the tabloids covered it.[1] According to Wikipedia, the scandal made the front page cover of The New York Post eight days in a row. ^[2] I urge you to follow the links below and check out some of these covers. Once you see these, you will learn why the phrase "President Donald Trump" is tough to take seriously for most people in his home state.^[3]                       

                The couple got married three months after Tiffany was born. Their wedding was, like most Trump functions, attended by several celebrities, including strangely enough, Rosie O’Donnell, the comedian who he has publicly insulted.^[4]

 

               They had one daughter named Tiffany, reportedly named after “Tiffany’s,” a famous, upscale  Manhattan jewelry store ^[5]  where Trump bought Marla a very expensive ring, apparently getting a discount if he promised he would mention the store each change he got, and then Trump spoke of buying. 

           Which kind of explains why I am really curious to know why Trump's second son is named "Eric." I confess, I still have no idea. 

     

                They divorced about six years later amidst issues involving Marla Maples and her bodyguard being discovered alone together under a lifeguard stand. They have both denied having an affair. Apparently, they both just wanted to climb under a lifeguard stand at the same time. ^[6]

 

Finally, my books . . . 

Yeah, I've written books. Please check them out and see if they interest you.
