Re: First Marriage

Maybe he's just hiring prostitutes from an unnamed European country and keeping them at Trump-branded properties?

quasi-European country.

I think the presidential schedule, plus secret-service, plus presidential attention have severely curtailed his MO of walking into dressing rooms and molesting people in green rooms. Even horndog Clinton was limited to White House staff after he became president.

3: I think that's right. Also, he's moved into a comparatively target-poor environment in terms of his prior MO -- he was into hassling models/actresses/beauty contestants. That's not who he's surrounded with any more during the workday.

With the occasional journalist thrown in.

But 3 and 8 are right, I'm sure. He's not alone with women ever anymore, I suspect.

I guess I assumed he'd be more aggressive about making sure it happened, like Clinton, or like he is with his Twitter account, instead of just a circumstantial predator.

He'll get so fucking bored of even golfing inside of 6 months that he'll announce the first White House Presidential Beauty Contest. Miss Teen White House MAGA USA.

That's not really how sports/hobbies work, is it? If you like doing something, unless you end up doing it like three times a day every day (laydeez...) I think you'd enjoy it. Especially something like golf that has those rare exciting moments when you do something exactly right. Except for Trump, I guess, because he gets three holes in one every time he plays (laydeez...)

I was surprised to learn one of the press expectations is to know what the president is doing practically every minute he's out and about, and to have at least one reporter hanging around in case something happens. This implies some things about Trump, but entirely aside from that, it would probably be better for presidents' mental health across the board to have some designated regular unmonitored time.

Correction: Primates of Park Avenue is a memoir, not a novel, as originally stated.

" Trump found in Melania the perfect mate. 'She doesn't make waves,' says Bytner. 'She speaks only when spoken to. She's just very sweet.' "

Speaking only when spoken to is certainly what I look for in a mate. O_o

" 'He adores women. And he respects women. When you adore your daughter, you respect women. And he adores Ivanka. Literally adores her. So when a man adores his daughter, he respects women.' "

Um...

But anyways, I love how the photo from Donald and Melania's wedding has him fondling Ivanka while Melania stands off to the side.

It's in the article in the OP. And on reading the caption it's actually from the Met Gala. I'm sure Trump fondled Ivanka at his wedding too though.

He's probably got an Ivanka body pillow he hugs as he cries himself to sleep.

From that article I learned that there is a Norwegian cosmetics heiress named "Celina Midelfart."

Which is hilarious because I am 12 years old.

The wind breaks 'neath the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee!
And this one precept in thy memory
Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Better to be thought the culprit
Than to speak and remove all doubt

I would bet health plays a big role. Trump is very puffy, bloated, and an odd color. He doesn't look healthy enough to get or maintain an erection and he may not be capable of the physical exertion of sex.

Also we now have it confirmed from his doctor he takes finasteride for hair growth, which is known for sexual side effects. (Unless that medication too is a a feint to cover up an expensive weave...)

There is a big bump in low sexual desire in men in the ten years we are talking about according to this random web page:

"Low desire jumps from 27% of the sample at age 65 to 69 to 50% at age 70 to 77. "
