MoJo: The Trump Files: Donald's Words to a Grieving Mother

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/trump-files-kelly-preston

In January 2009, Kelly Preston and John Travolta's son Jett passed away at the age of 16 after suffering a seizure while on a family vacation. Four days later, Trump wrote a blog post dedicated to Preston on the website of the now-defunct Trump University, which has been sued by the state of New York and former students over claims of fraud.

The mogul expressed his condolences to Preston for her loss, but not before he mentioned the time he tried to sleep with her. According to Trump, the attempt failed.

"A long time ago, before I was married, I met Kelly Preston at a club and worked like hell to try and pick her up," he wrote on the Trump University website. "She was beautiful, personable, and definitely had allure. At the time I had no idea she was married to John Travolta."

He continued, "In any event, my track record on this subject has always been outstanding, but Kelly wouldn't give me the time of day. She was very nice, very elegant, but I didn't have a chance with her, and that was that."

Here's the link the article provides to that disgusting attempt at condolences:

The only thing I ever heard about Bush's before they became famous was Clarence Cannon and Harry Truman used to tease my Grandfather about being a relative.

Usually men like that are going to boast of conquest, not admit to failures.

I guess, in his mind, there is no higher compliment he can give a woman than he found her attractive enough to to try to nail.

to make it all about him when speaking of a grieving mother. I wish she had slapped the shit out of him when he tried to hit on her.
