how come Donald Trump gets all these models?
it can't be money or power like some chauvinist, sexist people would suggest. Is it personality?

1. Sorry It's Money
And I don't think that is a chauvanist statment!

There are women out there who only look at men in terms of earning potential, just like there are men out there who look at women only in terms of chest size.

2. No. Speaking from knowledge
Edited on Thu Jan-08-04 10:43 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
It is because when he has a party, he calls the New York modeling agencies and tells them to send their girls over. I know this because my best friend was in charge of new faces for a top New York agency for over ten years and would NEVER oblige...he felt a greater duty to his talent than to set them up for that/ some girls fall for it and think they are making their agents happy to attend a high profile party.

4. It's money and power
that's it.

also why the relationships don't last very long - their not really relationships, they're symbiotic partnerships that become tiresome after the woman has her fun, gets her expensive jewelry and clothes and nights out on time, but then realizes that she's about 30 and it's time to find something real for her life; or when they find some other rich guy who grabs her fancy. Because let's face it, guys like the attentions of the young women, especially if yuo're some pathetic money-laden but emotionally-infantile bozo jerk.

6. you guys are wrong
I swear I was told here (DU) that no women would do that for money. It's probably a worldwide conspiracy...by men with money.

8. I don't think you were told that. I think you were told it wasn't innate
in ALL women but gosh it's really nice to have a flame bait post in the lounge of NO real value except to cause acrimony....what's next? A thread about the innate talents of black athletes like your last masterpiece? :eyes:

10. Why are some men preoccupied with women who sleep with other men
but not them? Is it because the only thing smaller than their brain is their penis? :shrug:

16. OK...You made me do it...I gotta post the LONG version
Our society is one which objectifies and puts a price tag on everything. Labor, art, ideas...all of these are for sale. That is the by-product of capitalism. As long as you live in a capitalist society, that is de reguer.

Now, sex and even love has become a commodity in our culture. This is inevitable - no amount of religion will stop it (and if you want something truly anti-capitalist, try the Bible, the Koran or the Torah.) You cannot get rid of this just by banning sex on TV, or making women wear burkhas. This is hand in hand with capitalism itself - women and men dress themselves up as objects, to further market themselves.

I am not making a value statement - I'm just spelling out the nature of a capitalistic society.

So when someone complains that they are being treated like a 'piece of meat', they are right - but that is to be expected. You cant tell a capitalistic society that it is OK to sell one thing, but not another - it runs contrary to the marketplace philosophy that drives it.

So when men look for women based on chest size, or women see men only in terms of earning potential - they are objectifying and living true to their capitalistic selves.

20. Oh my god
you're stating the obvious. You must be a freeper :). I agree 100% with you by the way. My beef is with those idiots who deny it and blame men for it.

22. I'm almost tempted to see those "ignored" comments
but since I rarely use the ignore feature, it must be a good reason why that person is added to it.

27. And on the flip side, men with money/power/fame, who have their
choice of women, will generally opt for beauty over anything else. He wants to have a hot woman on his arm.

His apartment is obscene, like the friggin' Sun King. I'm quite sure there's nothing attractive about him.

Some of them were way too impressed. Gotta give the wife (girlfriend?) points, though, for her comeback to the comment about being lucky.

35. Trump gets the "beauties" for decoration purposes. They add to his
image/persona of a billionaire who is chick bait. It's irrelevant whether or not he "enjoys" their company. The cameras are rolling and snapping him with his entourage and that's for publicity.

The gaggle of models surrounding Trump is like his pretended image that he is a bon vivant and indulges in only tasteful endeavors. This balloon was popped by his own daughter, Ivanka, who said on television that The Donald prefers to go home early from parties, if he goes out at all, and would rather eat Chef Boy-Ar-Dee ravioli (canned) than gourmet meals.

What a fake. Purely PR persona.
