Donald Trump's 'Trophy Wife' Remarks in West Point Speech Raise
Eyebrows
President Donald Trump went off on a tangent about a "trophy wife"
during his commencement address at West Point on
Saturday—drawing scrutiny and backlash from some critics online.
"He ended up getting a divorce. Found a new wife. Could you say a
trophy wife? I guess we can say a trophy wife. It didn't work out
too well," the president said in his speech in New York, referring
to real estate developer William Levitt.
The president was referring to Levitt, best known for
mass-produced homes in suburbs throughout the country. These
communities became known as "Levittowns."
Trump told West Point graduates that Levitt, who he described as a
"great, great real estate man," eventually lost his "momentum."
That's when he got a "trophy wife," according to the president.
"That doesn't work out to well, I must tell you," Trump said.
"There's a lot of trophy wives—doesn't work out. But it made
them happy for a little while at least."

Hey, now THERE'S an idea ... stuff the libraries
with comic-book versions of Mien Kamph and
Goebell's propaganda hits ! I'm sure someone could
do a pro-'Handmaiden' series as well .... I suppose
you'd defend all that, right ? :-)
