Jimmy Kimmel talked about a number of strange details about Maggie Haberman’s new Donald Trump biography on Wednesday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live — especially the very different stories about Trump’s Love Live, including Michael Bolton concert was included.
Haberman received much criticism for the new book, “Confidence Man”—as it was revealed that he had learned information of immediate national importance while writing it, but withdrew to make his book juicier rather than inform the public.
But not everything in that book was the stuff he should have arguably reported sooner. Some of it is gossip and weird and some weird stuff that really exposes the character of a man who tried to overthrow the government when he lost an election. Like Kimmel talked about.
“This book says that after the election in 2016, Melania renegotiated their premarital agreement,” laughs Kimmel. “You know, those two love birds, they’re so romantic. And it’s really sweet.”
“Years ago, before he proposed to his second wife, Marla Maples, they broke up and she started dating singer Michael Bolton,” Kimmel continued. “So of course Trump had to take her back. And once he did, he took her to a Michael Bolton concert, just to rub it in.
“He actually showed Michael Bolton,” Kimmel joked, “by buying him two tickets to see him in concert. Going to see Michael Bolton to claim dominance in a relationship? That would be the whitest thing. Which I’ve never heard anyone do.”
Kimmel went on from there, including another beautiful story about Trump’s love life and his workplace habits during his presidency. You can watch the entire monologue at the top of the page. Trump stuff starts in about 2 minutes.
