But in retrospect, it's obvious that it actually referred to his wife, Ivana Trump. But since she was never on "The Celebrity Apprentice", I forgot that she existed.<br /><br />The woman in the picture might be (a younger version of) her too: http://img.spokeo.com/public/900-600/donald_trump_1991_04_18.jpg But 80s hair really all looks alike to me, so I can't really tell.<br /><br />The "Tramp" casino disappointingly doesn't look anything like the Trump Taj Majal, the famous Atlantic City casino that he opened in 1990. Perhaps that would have been a bridge too far. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Taj_Mahal)<br /><br />I visited Atlantic City once around this time, but I was 12 or so and just remember spending the day in a bowling alley while my relatives gambled. When I went to college years later, I lived just 45 minutes from Atlantic City by train, but I never bothered to make the trip. Not really a place I wanted to go.<br /><br /><br />Joe Pranevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997014242774219758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-22986450132346465162015-08-30T06:17:23.446+10:002015-08-30T06:17:23.446+10:00The Donald Trump jokes are very timely given the s...The Donald Trump jokes are very timely given the state of US politics.

I'm hoping you like it a lot more, because I guessed this game would score fairly high at the beginning :)TBDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815382857422719383noreply@blogger.com
