Leaked audio recordings involving former President Donald Trump have exposed a disturbing conversation between him and Australian billionaire donor Anthony Pratt. The recordings, obtained by Australia’s 60 Minutes via Business Insider, capture a conversation where Trump made crude comments about his own wife, Melania Trump.
According to Pratt, Trump stated, “I asked Melania to walk around the pool in a bikini so all the other guys could get a look at what they were missing.” The remark, reported to have taken place at the Trumps’ Mar-a-Lago mansion, sheds light on Trump’s questionable behavior regarding his wife’s appearance.
Melania Trump didn’t hesitate to respond to her husband’s inappropriate comment. Pratt claims that she retorted, “I’ll do that when you walk around with me in your bikini.” The exchange, indicative of Melania’s refusal to tolerate such remarks, highlights the complexity of their relationship.
The context of these recordings remains unclear, but it is speculated that the conversation occurred before Trump’s presidency. While Trump has not directly addressed the bikini remark, he took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to dismiss Pratt’s revelations as “fake news.” In a post on Newsweek, Trump wrote, “The Failing New York Times story, leaked by Deranged Jack Smith and the Biden ‘Political Opponent Abuser’ DOJ, about a red-haired weirdo from Australia, named Anthony Pratt, is Fake News.”
This latest revelation adds to the list of controversies surrounding Trump’s behavior, particularly concerning his interactions with women. The conversation, captured in these leaked recordings, raises questions about the former president’s respect for his wife and underscores the need for a continued examination of his actions and attitudes during his time in public life.
