> [@running\_coach](#): > > I don’t believe for a _second_ he wrote that. Setting aside that it was written in complete sentences—a grammatical nuance that “The Donald” has yet to manage—it fails to praise the purported author and his self-proclaimed greatness in having bedded and wedded the most beautiful women. It also proclaims pride in his sons, which he definitely has never expressed (understandable in the case of Eric) and doesn’t make a single suggestive comment about how he produced such a sexy daughter with a gorgeous body. There is absolutely no way that this was written or even reviewed by Donald Trump. Stranger ---

I feel bad for her, 73 really isn’t all that old and she is certainly innocent of any wrongdoing that her ex has done. Her kids are all too young to lose a mother so that’s pretty sad. ---
