KEY POINTS

  • Donald Trump once faked having a relationship with Carla Bruni
  • The POTUS is accused of dating Melania Trump because she resembles Carla Bruni
  • Carla Bruni called Donald Trump "King of Tacky."

Donald Trump allegedly faked his relationship with Italian model Carla Bruni, who coincidentally, resembles his current wife, Melania Trump.

Years ago, the POTUS was still dating his ex-wife, Marla Maples, when the New York Post published a headline claiming that their relationship is over. The publication claimed that Trump has decided to leave Maples for Bruni.

The next day, Trump confirmed the reports to the post by calling Bruni the “new one” in his life. He also said that the supermodel dumped her boyfriend, Mick Jagger, for the POTUS.

However, it didn’t take very long before Bruni denied her alleged relationship with Trump. The POTUS eventually came clean by admitting to reporters that he planted the story.

During his interview with Daily Mail, Trump called Bruni his friend and said that there was nothing romantic going on between them. But in the book “Lost Tycoon,” author Harry Hurt III said that Bruni never considered the POTUS as her friend.

In fact, the model seemingly used Trump after he offered to host her and her friends at a room at the Plaza Hotel. While there, Bruni spent a few days ordering room service. She also gloated over the way she fooled the King of Tacky.

Meanwhile, some netizens noticed the similarities between Bruni and the FLOTUS. Political Flare also noted that the two women share a similar look even though they are not twins.

Twitter user @JohnMMcKee claimed that Trump dated Melania after he didn’t score a relationship with Bruni.

“A reminder: When ‘normal American rich boy’ Donald Trump was rebuffed by the beautiful and talented singer Carla Bruni, he found a young, fresh-faced Slovenian model and had her surgically reconstructed as an ersatz doppelganger. Sick or bloody what…” he wrote.

Another similarity between the two women is that they are both models and they have both posed nude for some publications. However, Bruni didn’t want to be likened to the FLOTUS because she believes she had a bit of fame from her modeling and her first album, unlike Trump’s wife.
