Contained within a sprawling new piece in the New Yorker about Cyrus Vance, the Manhattan District Attorney investigating Donald Trump, is an incredible anecdote from years ago revealing how the former president approaches mourning.
The anecdote involves Allen Weisselberg, the CFO of the Trump Organization who is reported to be under scrutiny by prosecutors, and who is prominently featured in the story. According to the New Yorker'sJane Mayer, investigators appear to have their eyes on Weisselberg as a potential cooperator. "Allen Weisselberg knows where all the bodies are buried," Mary Trump says in the piece.
But Jennifer Weisselberg, who was once married to Allen Weisselberg's son Barry, expressed uncertainty that her former father-in-law would flip:
Jennifer described her former father-in-law as being in Trump's thrall: "His whole worth is 'Does Donald like me today?' It's his whole life, his core being. He's obsessed. He has more feelings and adoration for Donald than for his wife." Asked if Allen Weisselberg would flip under pressure, she said, "I don't know. For Donald, it's a business. But for Allen it's a love affair."
She also told Jane Mayer about a wild, if not surprising anecdote involving Trump, a shiva, and a yacht teeming with naked women:
Jennifer told me that she first met Trump before she was married, at Allen Weisselberg's modest house, in Wantagh, on Long Island. That day, the Weisselberg family was sitting shivah, for Allen's mother. Trump showed up in a limousine and blurted out, "This is where my C.F.O. lives? It's embarrassing!" Then, Jennifer recalled, Trump showed various shivah attendees photographs of naked women with him on a yacht. "After that, he starts hitting on me," she said. Jennifer claimed that Allen Weisselberg, instead of being offended on her behalf, humored his boss: "He didn't stand up for me!" Asked about this, Weisselberg's lawyer, Mary Mulligan, said, "No comment."
Mayer does not report when exactly this occurred, except that it was sometime before 2004.
That sounds familiar.
2004. So, it's safe to say these pictures weren't on his smartphone. What did he do? Come to this event with a portfolio of 8x10s? Sounds kinda fishy.
Before smartphones many people kept wallet size prints of some of their favorite pictures. It is not at all far fetched that Trump, or anyone else, might have such pictures in their wallet.
I'd be surprised if Donald Trump even bothered to carry a wallet.
How else would he show people photos before smartphones ?
The woman who is quoted in the article doesnt say she heard this story from someone else. She says she was in the room at the time this was allegedly going on. .
Exactly. That's my point. The plausibility of this story is poor. You can think Donald Trump is a creepy scumbag, and that's fine. But that doesn't mean every absurd story about him is true. This particular one seems highly unlikely to be true for the reasons I have observed. I'm not saying it is true or not, but common sense should tell you it's sketchy.
She wouldn't be the first (or last) person to make up a story about a famous person out of whole cloth.
The pictures may be sketchy, but the rest of it is not only believable but to be expected. Insulting his hosts, and acting wholly inappropriate in a somber setting and hitting on much younger women? That is actually normal behavior for an asshole of his caliber.
Well, sure. Rich guys with yachts commonly populate the decks with hot naked chicks. That's not even a question. It's not even scandalous. I can't imagine why anyone would care.
I grew up in Wantagh. Weird.
Have you ever met Donald Trump? Maybe he was passing through one day.
Unless she can provide more details and someone else to back it up, I’m not sure I buy the pictures. Shit talking his CFOs house and hitting on MUCH younger women attending the mourning, oh yeah, I’d be shocked if he DIDN’T do that, the man is garbage.
But the pictures, just need more evidence. Wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest though.
Nothing matters. The Man From Mar-a-Lago is still skating on the, "I'm like a really smart guy." He is invulnerable unless the Saudis, Russians and Chinese hold their money back.
I wonder if Trump and Ryan O'Neil ever compared notes. O'Neil hit on his own daughter at a funeral once.
