DU CHALLENGE! Complete this sentence: "Don Jr. was so cheap that..." (Vanessa says he is)

Don Jr. was so cheap that Vanessa Trump had to ask her mom for money: report



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/don-jr-cheap-vanessa-trump-ask-mom-money-report/

Page Six reported Monday that according to friends, Trump Jr.’s soon-to-be ex-wife is divorcing him because he “treats her like a second-class citizen,” and kept her on a much “tighter budget” than one would expect.

“He gives her very little help and has been keeping her on a tight budget,” a source close to the divorce told Page Six. “She doesn’t live a lavish life and can very rarely pick up a check at dinner.”

Sources also say that the couples’ problems go as far back as 2005, before their marriage — and that Vanessa was shopping around for divorce lawyers before her husband’s father won the election in 2016.

“She was interviewing divorce lawyers before [Trump’s presidency],” another source said. “No one thought he’d win. He won and she decided to stay until his term is over. But she just couldn’t stand it any more.”

file his income and expense sheets, his estimation of his worth in court.

At least that is the choice he would probably face in California.

I bet this one will be no different. It will be fought out in public through third party, “He said this and that...” and “Her friends say she said this and that...” gossip.

That’s one way for the wives and women to get their side of the stories out. It’s the same for Melania. We keep hearing her friends tell us how unhappy she is, but we hear nothing from her directly.

to provide for the children. Jr knows his crimes, he knows they are going to take whatever money he has etc.
The whole divorce could very well be total bullshit...so that's why I'm just going to have to wait until I fully form an opinion.

A sham divorce to convince the court to give her loads of assets to live off from after enRICO comes to visit.

Who can form an opinion when something comes along to contradict what was just said five minutes ago?

The Trumps have lost a great deal of the cloak of darkness they counted on to hide their nefarious dealings, though they still believe no one can see them. Whatever dealings they have will be dug up by journalists they’ve stupidly been insulting.

We’ll see.

actually confirms what we have heard about them not actually having that much wealth.

at least not enough that they could easily buy anything they wanted.

https://nypost.com/2004/11/12/trump-jr-is-the-cheapest-gazillionaire-heirhead-proposes-with-free-100g-ring/

..."Yesterday, in what has to be one of the cheesiest wedding proposals on record, Donald Jr. hunkered down on bended knee to officially present his fiancée, Vanessa Haydon, with a $100,000 engagement ring – one that sources say the cheapskate son wrangled for free.

Paparazzi and TV camera crews were the only guests “invited” to the less-than-romantic Short Hills Mall in New Jersey for the taste-deprived ceremony.

It was there, in the Bailey, Banks & Biddle jewelry store, the 4-carat emerald-cut diamond ring – framed by two trapezoid diamonds and set in a platinum mounting boasting another 56 diamonds – was unveiled.

The quid pro quo for the free ring, a Post source said, hinged on an agreement that Donald Jr. make himself available for promotional opportunities."....(more)
