Carla Bruni: Trump lied about having an affair with her

As the story goes, on June 26, 1991, a photo of Trump and then-girlfriend Marla Maples was splashed across the front page of the New York Post accompanied by the blaring headline, “IT’S OVER.” The Post story alleged that Trump was leaving Maples for Bruni—a report Trump himself confirmed the following day. But Bruni was adamant that it was all a lie, and that she’d never spent any alone time with the boastful real estate mogul. Her version of events was corroborated in the Trump biography Lost Tycoon, which claimed that after she rebuffed him, Trump began spreading a rumor that he and Bruni were in a relationship.

“Trump is obviously a lunatic,” Bruni told the Daily Mail later that year. “It’s so untrue and I’m deeply embarrassed by it all. I’ve only ever met him once, about a year ago, at a big charity party in New York. And I haven’t seen him since, of that I’m sure.”

When I bring up the unfortunate episode to her, she shifts around uncomfortably on the sofa and lets out a deep sigh.

“Actually, the whole situation was very vague and just did not exist. So I was very surprised when he went to the press,” Bruni says of the current President of the United States.

As the Washington Post uncovered during his White House run, Trump used to pose as his own publicist, and, under the aliases “John Miller” and “John Barron,” would phone the tabloids and plant made-up stories about various A-list women he was supposedly dating, including Madonna, Kim Basinger, and Bruni.

“Ah, I heard about that!” she says of the story. “There’s not much I can say. What I can say is that I think democracy is better than dictatorships, and democracy is about elections. So… we respect democracy.”

Oh, that rabbit hole goes even deeper.

The runaway success of “Apprentice,” starting in 2002, whet Trump’s appetite for television — and for politics, though that would wait a few years. In the meantime, he let it be known that he wanted to develop a weekly drama series based on his own life.

The show, titled “The Tower,” was to feature the adventures of a New York City developer who makes big deals, loves to win, and has set out to construct the tallest building in the world.

Producers hired a Hollywood TV writer, Gay Walch, to create a pilot script for “The Tower.” Walch borrowed scenes from Trump’s books to help build the main character. Network executives said the script, like the overwhelming majority of pilots, never made it to TV because it wasn’t a compelling story.

The Post has obtained a scene from NBC's pilot script, read here by actors. The Trump-like developer is named John Barron, a name that Trump asked Walch to use for the main character. (Two years after “The Tower” was scrapped, Trump and his third wife, Melania, named their son Barron.)

I've always assumed Barron, and his made up publicist name, was a play on the actual word baron. Trump probably just doesn't know how to spell it.

I give zero shits about this sort of stuff. It's not even background noise compared to his other lies and the harm they do.

I feel real sorry for her. Those rumors associating her to having a relationship with an orange cheeto will last past her lifetime, even though she clearly thinks he is pretty revolting.

Gotta give it to trump. His king of making these sleazeball moves and bettering himself at the end. He's the definition of the guy that proclaims nice guys finish last and goes on to get the girl while everyone snarks at the way he did it.

The dude in that article became fucking president in the USA. And while president, continues doing shit that makes you think "wait, he's getting away with that?" Every minute

Lmao.

Trump is beyond ridiculous. Still can't believe this walking mountain of idiocy, hypocrisy and uber-ego is president.

Had to look up Carla Bruni. I see it.

In Melania's defense, having Mike Pence Syndrome (black holes where your eyes should be) isn't somethimg anyone asks for.

Regarding the real topic of this thread... In the Occult world names are said to have power and influence who you are. What does that say about someone whose named after the fake publicist alias of a scumbag businessman? Well... Nothing, since it's all bullshit but thank the cosmos for that.

Oh god, John Barron is just Trump's shitty fanfiction self-insert character, isn't he? In fanfiction Trump is writing about his own life.

That's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard that doesn't involve Sonic the Hedgehog.

What's going to happen to Barron years from now?

Nobody's parents are perfect but his seems a little more shitty those most. That's going to fuck up any child's development for years.
