Trump tried to invite himself to Chelsea Clinton's wedding

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump tried to invite himself to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010, according to a new book on former President Bill Clinton

An except from “Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton,” which was released exclusively to Politico Playbook, tells of Trump’s futile efforts to attend Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.
“And finally there was Donald Trump, who had hosted a somewhat reluctant Bill and Hillary [Clinton] at his third wedding in 2005,” writes the book’s author, Joe Conason. “The real estate mogul was the sort of person who, though not an actual friend, still aspired to attend Chelsea’s wedding, which he clearly considered a prestigious event.”

When Trump didn’t receive an invitation, he reportedly called Doug Band, an adviser to the former president.


“I’m supposed to be at the wedding, Doug,” Trump said. “But I didn’t receive the invitation, and I need to know where to go.”

1. "I need to know where to go"

I hope Clinton's advisor told him exactly where he could go.

2. oh good grief!

that asshat wanted to attend the wedding because he thought the wedding was a prestigious event. What did he expect to happen....that he would steal the limelight from the bride and groom? I hope he was told flat out that he was not wanted at the wedding.

3. Thos of us who have suffered years of Trump in local media are aware that...

Trump insisted on being at every event that would have a camera. He absolutely required daily media mentions and didn't care if it was the news section, the society section, the arts section, or the comics page. I'm convinced he bought the Jersey Generals just to get into the sports section.

I don't doubt that there were hundreds of other events he wasn't invited to, and made similar calls.

Sorry, my snark wasn't clear. I meant to write "sections" and here are those I'd like to see Donald Trump mentioned in:

Police Reports
Classified
Real Estate sales
Horoscopes
Obituaries

Enjoy your day, TreasonousBastard!

5. NOBODY will ever do the job on Trump that Spy Magazine did on him:

I started reading them in the late 80s, and still have about 30 mags from the early 90s til their demise, during which they screwed me out of my last subscription payment

they were relentless, portraying him exactly as the disgusting, crooked, tasteless, mendacious, racist slob that all the world now knows him to be.

gary trudeau was on to him at about the same time, but not as vicious as Spy was, forced to tone down his message for family newspapers.

there's a google site that has almost every issue Spy ever produced, IIRC

you could spend a good bit of the rest of your life reading the stuff in these sets of links

9. So THAT'S why he ran for President!

To get back at Hillary for not inviting him to the wedding. It's all falling into place now.

11. As petty as this man is, it could possibly be why

12. I would have sent him to a different wedding....

Or a funeral.
