Nothing like pawing around in Donald Trump’s Truth Social feed in the morning. It’s a lot like dumpster diving, you never know what you’ll find and you just hope nothing bites you. Here is the latest jewel from Trump world.
You note he said he hadn’t heard it before, but somebody put it on his feed two days ago and he saw fit to take a moment away from his Saudi BFFs and re-truth it.
In all events, here is what Page Six has to say:
Meghan Markle fan-girled over former first daughter Ivanka Trump before embarking on royal life, a new book reports.
The Duchess of Sussex interviewed Ivanka for her now-defunct blog “The Tig” back in 2014, four years before she married Prince Harry. As writer Tom Bower writes in his new book, “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” out now in the UK, Markle gushed to her followers that she wanted to be just like the businesswoman. “Staggeringly beautiful, no question, but so incredibly savvy and intelligent that she’s not just carved a niche for herself under her father’s famed Trump notoriety, she has undoubtedly created her own empire,” she wrote.
“It’s so easy to knock the girls who come from privilege — to assume they rested on their laurels and garnered accolades simply by being fancy from the womb,” she wrote. “But I always remember Ivanka being different — she wasn’t dancing on tables as a teenager or releasing pop albums. She wasn’t running amok publicly, swearing and being smacked with DUIs. Instead she was graduating from The Wharton School (cum laude, I might add), launching the Trump Hotel Collection, and building her own brand.”
Her email conversation with the heiress, who once had her own perfume, shoe and bag range along with helping her father run the Trump property empire, left her gushing that “she does it all.”
Markle wrote: “When we have drinks, I will make sure I order whatever she does — because this woman seems to have the formula for success (and happiness) down pat.”
Yeah, I’ve always thought myself that the key to true happiness must lie in having factory workers abroad being paid slave wages to cobble together knock off designs that can then be sold at exorbitant prices. And then of course her marriage to Jared Kushner must be heaven on earth. Now there’s a specimen of a man. Women want him and men want to be him, just like James Bond. Amirite?
Those were the days. Two years later, May of 2016, Markle denounced Trump in a TV interview as “misogynistic” and “divisive.” She did not invite the Trumps to the royal wedding and that became awkward because she very much wanted to invite the Obamas, because Harry was friends with them. But to invite one was to invite the other and she decided to forego the Obamas’ company rather than be subjected to Trump and Melania, which makes sense. I guess George Clooney was the American head of state at that wedding.
Although, it would have been comical to see what Melania wore, whether she showed up looking like she just stepped out of a roadshow of Beauty and the Beast, as she did on one British appearance. Or, if she wore hose. One does not present oneself to the Queen of England dressed like a Piccadilly tart, but Melania did. Then she kept her hat on inside Buckingham Palace, which is another faux pas. There are experts in etiquette and protocol in these matters but the Trumps don’t listen to anybody. They follow their own boorish instincts and embarrass the rest of us.
Trump, as you well know, has labeled Markle a “nasty woman” which I’m sure she wears as a badge of honor.
2014 was before all the news came out about how corrupt Ivanka is. I doubt Meghan has any such wish now. Or in the last 5 years.
ivanka
I like Meghan. She did it the hard eay–talent. Ivanka? Was a legacy at UPenn. Never worked a day in het life except for ventures,with Dad. Never had to work.her way up. Never been less than a vice president.
…
Let’s see now Ms. Markle is a successful actress and Ivana is her daddy’s fuck dream. So we’re supposed to believe that Ms. Markle had wood for a disgusting slug’s fuck dream now? Sorry, there’s a lot of crazy shit out there I wish wasn’t true but actually is. This is not one of those things. Did Markle even know of Ivana’s existence prior to daddy running for office? Maybe. I always take whatever Bower says with a grain of salt. The man actually DOES have wood for the Windsors and g_d forbid anyone points out their many, many faults. Unfortunately for Markle, she put all those faults on display merely by marrying Harry thereby earning the enmity of that Bower person. Perhaps Bower wanted Harry for his own? Hard to say.
In the scheme of things, grand or otherwise (very otherwise in fact), this “book” of Bower’s is yet another rag not worth reading but if you must it’ll be a simple one so you won’t waste much of your time.
Actresses who move up by marrying people who inherit money, fame, prestige, etc. deserve no more respect than princesses born to mob bosses. This is exactly what is wrong with this SHALLOW, MONEY/FAME WORSHIPING CULTURE. And we wonder how a TV star becomes president when they are evil, spoiled, racist crooks. I don’t wonder. It’s clear our values are fucked. Then we elect people that match our cultural shit & wonder why things turn evil. Stupidity. The lucky sperm/egg cult hasn’t earned a goddamn thing except contempt.
