Donald Trump Jr.’s reported ex-lover Aubrey O’Day questions his attraction to Kimberly Guilfoyle

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:06:08 GMT

O’Day said she can’t believe he’d want to wake up “next to (her) face every morning” or would enjoy her dressing up as a sexy cheerleader, as she reportedly claimed to Trump campaign donors.When O’Day said she and Trump Jr. were in the throes of their intense love affair in 2011 and 2012, she knew the oldest Trump sibling to be a “brilliant,” thought...

But the reports signaled that the agreement may have allowed him to finalize his affairs in Russia.If that’s true, it could suggest the threat posed by Pri...
