The Trump Files: Donald's Words to a Grieving Mother
After Kelly Preston's son died, Trump said he "worked like hell to try and pick her up."

Until the election, we're bringing you "The Trump Files," a daily dose of telling episodes, strange but true stories, or curious scenes from the life of GOP nominee Donald Trump.



Even the death of a child couldn't keep Donald Trump from talking about hitting on the boy's mother.

In January 2009, Kelly Preston and John Travolta's son Jett passed away at the age of 16 after suffering a seizure while on a family vacation. Four days later, Trump wrote a blog post dedicated to Preston on the website of the now-defunct Trump University, which has been sued by the state of New York and former students over claims of fraud.

The mogul expressed his condolences to Preston for her loss, but not before he mentioned the time he tried to sleep with her. According to Trump, the attempt failed.

"A long time ago, before I was married, I met Kelly Preston at a club and worked like hell to try and pick her up," he wrote on the Trump University website. "She was beautiful, personable, and definitely had allure. At the time I had no idea she was married to John Travolta."

He continued, "In any event, my track record on this subject has always been outstanding, but Kelly wouldn't give me the time of day. She was very nice, very elegant, but I didn't have a chance with her, and that was that."

Trump ended his blog post by saying his thoughts were with Preston and her family.

1. I am so disgusted by this it killed my appetite, and I haven't eaten anything yet today.

This is completely barf inducing. I wrote on my FB: "You have to be completely overflowing with narcissism and utterly void of empathy to write something like this."

12. The link is right in the post. The unintended comedy of your comment is hilarious.

You take me to task for potentially not verifying something in a post and you don't see the post has the backup right there.

Welcome to DU and enjoy your stay, brief as I think it will probably be.

2. Depraved, and truly soulless.

4. Depends on what one means by "hitting on"

regardless, it's a very bizarre thing to say in a post about a dead child. Why was it necessary to mention how alluring Kelly Preston was?

7. plus

what do you think he meant by "tried like hell to pick her up"? I truly don't understand your problem here.

5. They linked right to the post

where he said he tried like hell to pick her up. But you knew that.

6. Excuse me, but

you're actually defending this piece of human excrement? Had you gone to the link provided you would have found the text of the blog post trump wrote.

13. Why leave that out? Saying something nice doesnt help when you mentioned you tried to

pick up a mother whose kid just died. All the syrupy niceties in the world wont help after that.

9. "...tried like hell to pick her up..." = hitting on her = macken = ....
