Continuing the trumpSaga(TM)... Here we find Trump during the heady days of the '80s, amid his rise to tabloid stardom. He was buying beauty pageants left and right... Taking the poised bathing beauties out on his yacht... Going clubbing at exclusive hangouts with models he picked up by, well, calling up modelling agencies and asking who was on hand.
And indeed, as my lame "punchline" indicates, he is said by associates to have been at least as interested in bags of candy bars and watching TV as he was in hanging with the ladies. Perhaps it was all just an image, just branding for his persona? He was not just selling real estate--- he was selling an aspirational fantasy lifestyle, after all. And appealing to some base desire we (apparently?) all have to coat everything in gold, hang out on yachts, and bang bikini-clad blonde bimbos.
