Carly Simon says 'repulsive' Donald Trump was 'all over me like ugly on an ape' when they met

Carly Simon may have had a strong bond with at least one important White House figure her latest book, Touched by the Sun, documents her close friendship with former first lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis but Donald Trump certainly wasnt it.
In an interview with the U.K.s Guardian newspaper, the singer recounted her run-in with the man who would become president. Though Simon doesnt say precisely when the Trump encounter happened, it was at a New York luncheon for Benazir Bhutto, the Pakistan prime minister who was assassinated in 2007, and therefore long before the billionaire turned to politics.
Simon said that Trump wasnt paying any attention to her, focusing instead on the dignitaries at the gathering. But then Bhutto invited her to discuss her music in private, which may have piqued Trumps interest.
Simon declined the invite, however, because I thought he was kind of repulsive.

(70,581 posts)I am willing to bet everything that Eliot Rosewater owns that Mueller report* is just damning.
BTW Russia could not have done "it" without inside help in the U.S.. Paul Manafort, Brad Parscale,
Facebook/Zuckerberg, Sean Hannity, the Mercers, Kris Kobach, and members of the Trump Campaign
step up and take you bows.

Bannon to Kushner talking about Paul Manafort three days before the 2016 election: they are going to try and say the Russians worked with wiki leaks to give this victory to us... cant let word get out he is advising us.

I heard a piece on NPR some time last year dealing with trumps use of Facebook to win the election, and the interviewee said they gave the option to Hillarys campaign to work with them in the same way (create a strategic point person or team within FB) and it was declined. Really seems not a good decision, in retrospect, whatever the downside wouldve been.

(23,286 posts)I would agree--leave the apes alone. They may not be handsome to us, but they ARE our cousins (a few thousand times removed....)
