The romantic escapades of Donald Trump have long been a subject of fascination, from high-profile affairs to alleged liaisons. In a surprising twist, an old FBI file, released in 2019, has unveiled a captivating chapter involving a love triangle with Marla Maples and ballad crooner Michael Bolton.
Trump’s fidelity to his wives has been a source of speculation, and the unearthed FBI documents shed light on a unique moment during a brief separation between Donald Trump and Marla Maples.
Residing at the Trump Parc condo building, Maples reportedly brought Michael Bolton to her room during Trump’s absence on a West Coast trip. Trump, upon discovering the liaison, openly discussed the situation in a 1994 Vanity Fair interview, revealing that he allowed Maples the freedom to explore a relationship with Bolton.
“I left her. I left her like a dog,” Trump candidly admitted, showcasing his willingness to let Maples pursue a connection with Bolton. However, Trump’s fiercely competitive nature came into play as he expressed discontent when Maples pursued the renowned singer.
Trump, known for his competitive spirit, remarked, “A guy like me, a competitive guy, it’s like an affirmation that the girl has to be great because the No. 1 singer has fallen for her.” Despite initially allowing Maples the freedom to explore her feelings, Trump’s competitive drive led to a change of heart.
Trump lured Maples back, leading to their marriage in 1993, while Michael Bolton found himself on the sidelines. The FBI documents came to light during a legal case involving Maples’ former publicist, Chuck Jones, who disclosed details about her alleged affair with Donald Trump’s bodyguard, Spencer Wagner, in 1996.
The intricate web of relationships within the Trump saga continues to unfold, with unexpected names like Michael Bolton being woven into the narrative. As the details of Trump’s romantic past resurface, the complexity of his personal life remains a captivating aspect of his legacy.
