Goodbye to a first sister
This week Donald lost his older sister, 86-year-old Judge Maryanne Trump Barry. He knew her well. We visited each other and had dinner together. We once lived in the same building on Fifth Avenue.
At first they were in unison. Donald’s powerful connections did not go unnoticed when his lawyer sister became a long-time federal judge.
Maryanne sat with the family at his presidential inauguration. In recent years, her part retirement, part age, part illness, part diminished that union.
He once complained to me about his Christmas present. “Donald called Asprey because he was upset about the packaging,” he said. “It was a very special leather album, handmade by Asprey, but the problem was that I had wrapped it myself. “What happened was I accidentally stuck a pin in the ribbon and scratched the leather wrapping.”
A single, brief breakup in my 50-year friendship with DJT was anger when I didn’t attend his father’s funeral.
Donald always remained close to the family.
The people’s choice
Patrick Dempsey is this year’s sexiest man according to People magazine.
Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Sean Connery, John Legend and Idris Elba have already achieved it.
Caption: “It’s intimidating. Idris Elba was he “One year and I’m no longer Idris Elba.”
Good. But minus People, maybe you could pick Zach Galifianakis as the sexiest.
