Tabloid cover-ups, sexy texts, a hookup in a gay nightclub bathroom, and numerous affairs with staff: these are the sordid affair rumors plaguing the Trump family. The List, a digital lifestyle magazine, delivered a salacious report on Friday detailing the rumors surrounding not only Donald Trump, who was convicted of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to an adult film star but also his wife and children.
Many of these rumors involve the staff. Take Melania Trump, for example. Novelist Monica Byrne and comedian Noel Casler both spread the rumor that Melania was having an affair with Hank Siemers, the head of security at Tiffany’s in Trump Tower, where she continued to live during the first year of her husband’s presidential term, according to The List.
“Melania didn’t live with him in Trump Tower either, she lived with her boyfriend,” Casler reportedly said. “We had to book the transport on ‘Apprentice’ finales and her pick-up was NOT on 5th Ave.”
Byrne took the rumor directly to Trump, tweeting him on then-Twitter, now X, “Hi @realDonaldTrump! We’re all wondering if your wife @MelaniaTrump is having an affair with the head of security at Tiffany’s or nah?”
Siemers is not the only security staffer caught up in rumors of Trump family affairs. Tiffany Trump, the former president’s daughter with Marla Maples, and Vanessa Trump, ex-wife of his oldest son, both are rumored to have grown close to Secret Service agents, according to CBS News.
“Service leadership became concerned at how close Tiffany appeared to be getting to the tall, dark, and handsome agent,” wrote journalist Carol Leonnig in her book Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service. A spokesperson dismissed her reporting as “nothing more than gossip.”
Gossip is precisely what former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant Aubrey O’Day engaged in on former Trump fixer Michael Cohen’s podcast as she detailed an affair she said she had with Donald Trump Jr.
“You know what a bleeding-heart liberal I am,” O’Day told Cohen. “There’s no way that I ever could have loved somebody [like] what we see today.” As proof, O’Day detailed a hookup in a gay club bathroom to show just how comfortable Trump Jr. was among the LGBTQIA+ community at that earlier time.
The alleged affair ended when Trump Jr. left a phone out and Vanessa discovered what People Magazine described as “sexy texts.” These rumors and allegations paint a complex and controversial picture of the Trump family, with each new story adding to the public’s fascination and scrutiny.
