Althouse: "But I think you can’t be with the person if it’s not love, if they don’t satisfy you."

August 16, 2015

"But I think you can’t be with the person if it’s not love, if they don’t satisfy you."

"You can’t hug a beautiful apartment. You can’t hug an airplane. You can’t talk to them."

Says Melania Trump, to whom the press has been, in her opinion, "mean."

And, by the way: "We have incredible sex at least once a day... Sometimes even more."

William said...: Grace Kelly remains the world's greatest trophy wife. I'd put Jacquelne Onassis in the top ten. But it's no big deal for a billionaire to bag an east European model. That's the equivalent of bagging a boar in a game preserve. Very little sport involved......I I were a billionaire I'd aim for the gymnasts and not the models. The gymnasts probably age better.; 8/16/15, 11:48 AM

What's that, Althouse? At least once more a day than you have it?

At least 365 times more per year?; 8/16/15, 12:47 PM

Ick factor.

Um, I can't speak for everyone else, but I assume that a number of people were, like me, thinking of Melania when we read this - not Donald.

When I was a kid someone brought what was rumored to be Morris the Cat to my elementary school. You should have seen the star-struck excitement - even among adults.; 8/16/15, 12:53 PM

Hey. The political followers you identify with are "doing it with Trump" also. Politically.; 8/16/15, 1:52 PM

William said...: In these precincts Alec Baldwin doesn't come in for much praise, but I think he is to be sincerely congratulated on his choice of a trophy wife. He has chosen a yoga instructor. That's fertile new ground. When you get older and heavier, you need someone to pick up the slack--if you catch my drift--and who better than a yoga instructor. Even better, with all their physical discipline and health conscious diets, they are far more likely to age better than a model. Those models live on cigarettes and grapefruit rinds. It takes a toll in later years. With their slower aging process, there's less need for frequent turn ins.. It's possible to stay married for up to twenty years. That's probably good for the psychic health of the children. Also, --and I don't mean to very crass about his--but when it comes to negotiating the pre-nups, you can probably do a lot better with a yoga instructor than a top model who's got a killer agent.; 8/16/15, 3:14 PM

traditionalguy said...: Trump and friends are trumpeting his manhood. He is planning on winning the war with women the old fashioned way. He earns their respect.

Only Humna knows the way Hillary treats a women. She wil buy them with Bill's money and make them serve her. Not that there is anything wrong with that unless Sexual Harrassment of an employee still counts. It did not count against Sweet Old Bill.; 8/16/15, 3:59 PM
William said...: I think the worst possible trophy wife is the nanny. Just for one thing, they're not that good looking. If they were better looking, they'd be models or fitness instructors. Changing nappies is not a career for beautiful women. Even the kids' own hot mother doesn't want to change the nappies. For another thing, I don't see how the kids involved in such a mess with all the divided loyalties can come out of this with their heads on straight. You're definitely dong a disservice to your children when you screw around with the nanny. And, again, I don't mean to be crass,but you're really going to have to eat a huge property settlement in the divorce. And forget about the teen aged babysitter. Porn presents an idealistic, highly romanticized version of these relationships. They seldom work out.; 8/16/15, 4:45 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: Another problem with the nanny is, "What? Are you lazy?" Not just a cad, but a cad who can't even be bothered to get off the couch for it.; 8/16/15, 10:40 PM

Tiger Woods married a nanny, except she was exceptionally good looking. A nanny imported from Sweden who probably hadn't figured out a way to monetize her good looks, beyond getting a job as a nanny for a rich professional golfer, through which she met Woods. Maybe she is the exception that proves the rule. IDK.; 8/17/15, 11:26 AM
