They could end up being America's First Family, but when Donald and Melania Trump first met in 1998, they almost didn't get together. When asked to describe the moment he met Melania and the moment he fell in love with her, Trump says, "It may have been the same moment." Introduced at a party in 1998, one year after he had split from his second wife, Marla Maples, "I saw Melania and I said, 'Who is that?' "Trump recalls. "She was a very successful model. She was terrific. I tried to get her number, and she wouldn't give it to me." Why the cold shoulder? "He came to the party with a date!" Melania explains, laughing. "I had heard he was a ladies' man, and so I said, 'I'm not one of the ladies.' He said later that he sent her to the ladies' room so he could get my number. I was like, 'Oh what a sneaky way!'

P.R. Fluff. I wonder who came up with this story?

[Guenevere]

Me too!

What People magazine wrote: "I had heard he was a ladies' man, and so I said, 'I'm not one of the ladies.' He said later that he sent her to the ladies' room so he could get my number. I was like, 'Oh what a sneaky way!"

What the Democrats will claim: "I had heard he was a ladies' man, and so I said, 'I'm not one of the ladies.' He said later that he beheaded her so he could get my number. I was like, 'Oh dear God, he's a psychopath!"

Trump is a trashy cheater.

His supporters might not want to advertise his trashy personal life. Stick to the economics.

I said, 'Daddy, I want you to marry her! Melania is so sweet and such a good mother to Barron.'

So is Barron her child from a previous marriage? Or his? I'm confused.

If Trump had self-identified as trangender, he could have gone in and asked for her number herself.

Trump is hilarious when he is relaxed. I love a man with a sense of humor. My husband is well known as a complete smartass. We can be at the store with people all around and he will walk up to me and say out loud hey honey is your husband gonna be home later? And the people start looking at me like I’m the bad one. I blame his mother, she obviously didn’t beat him enough when he was little.

[Aria]

I like him too.

You can hardly blame him, she is spectacularly gorgeous and apparently has a degree in architecture or design so not dumb at all. She could have had just about anyone.

The man knows how to get what he wants.

Great story. You’ve got a guy like mine Ladies like is know Trump is real.

I met my husband almost the same way as Don & Mel. 28 years now, still a good match.

[SamAdams76]

His children all turned out well and his ex-wives are well taken care of.

I will reserve my criticisms for those who raise brats and abandon their families.

[HarleyLady27]

Sounds like he has a great sense of humor and know how to treat a woman like a real woman....

I love Trump and he has the neatest family....

[ru4liberty]

I admit that I didn't read the article. I'm just not that into them, but I would be curious to know if they said anything about her being a bimbo. Now, that I would find interesting!

[mlizzy]

His supporters might not want to advertise his trashy personal life.

I agree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump#Personal_life

[grania]

Read the article; you’ll be surprised. She’s no bimbo.

[Rusty0604]

And Glenn Beck will say, “ The first lady will have been in playboy!”.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Be nice.

[right way right]

After Bill Clinton and his philandering, a man who has been married three times is just another Ronald Reagan.

You have a right your opinion. But look at what the Bible says about people who believe their own stuff don’t stink...

“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities (sins), like the wind, have taken us away.” (Isaiah 64:6)
