Trump: "It's OK to talk about my personal life, too"

CNN
By Theodore Schleifer
Updated: December 30, 2015


Washington (CNN) -- If Democratic or Republican opponents want to drag some of the sordid details from Donald Trump's personal life onto the campaign trail, that's fine by him.

The GOP presidential front-runner said Tuesday that it would be fair for the media or rivals to investigate his background, similar to how he's bringing up Bill Clinton's personal life in attacks against his wife, Hillary Clinton.

"Yes, they would be,' he said in response to a question about his personal "indiscretions" while speaking to reporters aboard his personal plane before a rally in Iowa.

Trump didn't go into specifics, and reporters didn't follow up on the question.
But his personal life at times has been tabloid fodder, most famously in the early 1990s when his marriage to his first wife, Ivana Trump, fell apart after he had an extramarital affair with model and actress Marla Maples.
Trump eventually married Maples in 1993, and the two divorced six years later.
Trump married his current wife, Melania, in 2005.

Like if they did porn or had other 'indiscretions'. Since Bill isn't running and all.

I saw a post of Trump's wife posing nude in their new jet. I am sure a search will turn it up but do not have the time at this moment.
At the time I of what it will be like for children to see this portrait of our possible First Lady, and that would not be the term used.
On edit--I found the time:

Unbelievable!

Reagan's stupidity was shown in his first debate with Jimmy Carter,
With no script or teleprompter in front of him, he looked like the fool that he was, and "lost" that debate.

However, before the 2nd debate with Carter, White House CIA officer Donald Gregg waited until President Carter was out of town, and made a copy of Carter's briefing papers for the 2nd debate, which was turned over to George Will who used the stolen briefing papers to "coach" Reagan, so Reagan knew ahead of time what Carter was going to say in that 2nd debate, and thus Reagan "won" that debate, and went on to defeat Carter by a narrow margin.
From that 2nd debate:
REAGAN:"Well, there you go again."

IMO, Donald Gregg, George Will, William Casey & all the others involved in this crime should have been prosecuted!

I'm pretty sure it's a crime to steal top secret personal Presidential briefing papers & copy them.
