It Runs in the Family: Don Jr. Had an Affair with Apprentice Contestant When His Wife Was Pregnant

Let’s just be real clear about this and not mince words. The Trump men are pigs, period. They all seem to abide by the same playbook as if there is no other way to live.

Don Jr. cheated on his wife, the mother of his children, while she was pregnant, to bump socks with a contestant on The Apprentice – while taping, and it was all … nothing but infatuation, the type that happens in high schools everywhere, except this stuff destroys some kids’ homes.

From Business Insider:

Trump Jr. met singer Aubrey O’Day after she appeared on his father’s reality show, which Trump Jr. was on as an adviser. The pair began their relationship in late 2011 as the taping of the show was wrapping up, and it continued until March 2012, according to Us Weekly.

Not that it is a really big deal like a “doctor-patient” relationship or something, but there should have been some kind of contractual things stating that contestants could not socialize or become romantically involved with staff. That’s just normal American business procedure, designed specifically so that personal shit doesn’t blow-up the actual business. Imagine had the affair gotten out at the time? Do you think NBC – which paid to purchase the rights – would be happy to have that splash the papers? Viewers know behind the scenes stuff is …

Never mind. They don’t care about the rules that matter, never mind those.

“When it started, they were very serious all of a sudden,” a source told Us Weekly. “He told her it was over with his wife, that they were separated and he didn’t love her. … Aubrey fell for him hard. She thought they were going to be together for real.”

He lied to two women. For sex.

Here is the only funny part:

Us Weekly reported that Vanessa found out about the affair after she found emails between her husband and O’Day. A source told Page Six that Donald Trump intervened and told his son to “cut it out.”

To which, Don Jr. said: “You taught me everything I know! You are only telling me to knock it off because you’re probably banging her, too!!” Actually Don Jr. did not say that – at least we haven’t heard it reported, but he may as well have because why not? Who is Donald Trump to tell anyone else about not getting involved in affairs?

I get it. Some marriages don’t work. Some people are better apart, and the kids benefit. That is not this. This is a guy acting like a friggin’ rabbit because he can.

Obviously Don Jr. continued his ways and eventually dumped his wife for the curvy Fox News babe and that’s all fun now. I give it 18 months.

Anyway, none of this is “new” except for the fact that it is now Don Jr. who is pushing hard about Biden and being “creepy.” I believe that the man who has run around like a rabbit while still having young children might be careful when publicly mocking a man who has had two marriages to wonderful women, one of which died young, and his next wife has been a partner and best friend at his side the entire time.

Joe Biden can look his wife and his son and grandchildren in the eyes. I don’t know how Don Jr. can look at his kids while knowing someday they’ll “get it” and figure out why their lives were upended. Actually, I do know. A pig can’t recognize social responsibility.

Peace, y’all
