Carly Simon may have had a strong bond with at least one important White House figure — her latest book, Touched by the Sun, documents her close friendship with former first lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis — but Donald Trump certainly wasn’t it. In an interview with the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper, the singer recounted her run-in with the man who would become president. Though Simon doesn’t say precisely when the Trump encounter happened, it was at a New York luncheon for Benazir Bhutto, the Pakistan prime minister who was assassinated in 2007, and therefore long before the billionaire turned to politics....

Jackie Kennedy Onassis would “never have entered the country illegally to become an escort and never would have considered spending a moment with vile trash like Trump,” one critic tweets President Trump sparked angry criticism on Friday, this time by comparing his wife, Melania, to former first lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis during a “Fox & Friends” interview. The president made the comparison while talking about his decision to switch the paint job on Air Force One, which has been around since the early 1960s. “You know the baby blue doesn’t fit with us,” Trump said. “It was Jackie O and...

PARIS — Slovenian-born Melania Trump has been unafraid to go against her husband's "America First" agenda and stay true to her roots, if there's a message to be taken from her bold, foreign-flavored wardrobe in 2017. In her first year as first lady, Mrs. Trump has often wrapped herself in the clothes of her home continent as several American designers publicly refused to dress her in what was a fashion industry-wide backlash against her unpopular spouse. The first first lady to be born in continental Europe, Trump grew up in Sevnica in Slovenia, in the southern Balkans, just over 100...

Liz Trotta: When Ann Romney showed up at the Olympics equestrian competition in London's Greenwich Park last week, the media scrum around her would lead some to believe that Michael Phelps had dropped in. Mrs. Romney was there to watch her horse, Rafalca, compete in dressage, once the sport of ancient kings. The uninitiated call it 'horse ballet.' Rafalca, a German-bred mare, didn't miss a pirouette as her patron cheered and pronounced the performance constant and elegant. Some would say not unlike her mistress, Ann Romney, is not to be taken lightly. Perhaps that's why President Obama's political operatives, most...

The truth is out. The leading lady of liberal America between 1960 and her death in 1994, the standard setter of au courant women with her pillbox hats, bouffant hairstyle, and jet-set friends, the Guinevere to Camelot’s King Arthur himself, didn’t much care for lesbians and Martin Luther King and other leftist world leaders. The tapes of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (shown as a young First Lady, left) are out, as The New American reported, and their first installment weeks ago revealed that she thought Vice President Lyndon Johnson, the most prodigious and successful election thief in American history, had a...

Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis believed Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was behind the assassination of her husband, according to tapes recorded by the former first lady just months after President John F. Kennedy's death, the Daily Mail reports.

Jackie Onassis believed that Lyndon B Johnson and a cabal of Texas tycoons were involved in the assassination of her husband John F Kennedy, ‘explosive’ recordings are set to reveal. The secret tapes will show that the former first lady felt that her husband’s successor was at the heart of the plot to murder him. She became convinced that the then vice president, along with businessmen in the South, had orchestrated the Dallas shooting, with gunman Lee Harvey Oswald – long claimed to have been a lone assassin – merely part of a much larger conspiracy. Texas-born Mr Johnson, who...

Jackie Kennedy had a steamy four-year affair with Bobby Kennedy after JFK's assassination, according to a new book. The married senator was the first lady's "true love" and the couple was openly affectionate at family get-aways and social gatherings, according to a new book "Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story." The book also claims it was Jackie who asked doctors to pull the plug on Bobby after he was shot -- not his wife, Ethel....

Jackie Kennedy knew about her husband's extra-marital hanky-panky and even considered having affairs of her own, according to a new book, but felt that life without JFK would have been ``a wasteland.'' ``She wanted me to know she was not naive or dumb, as people in the White House thought,'' said Dr. Frank Finnerty, who treated Jackie for an injured foot and later became the first lady's confidante. ``She said the Secret Service was covering up for her husband.'' Jackie reeled off the names of JFK's various women - none of whom Finnerty recognized, with the exception of Marilyn Monroe...

Jacqueline Kennedy was so racked with loss after her husband's assassination in 1963 that she spoke repeatedly of suicide to her confessor, a new book about the Kennedys' Irish-Catholic heritage reveals. "It is so hard to bear," she told the Rev. Richard McSorley months after her husband's death. "I feel as though I am going out of my mind at times. Wouldn't God understand if I just wanted to be with him?" Later, after she seemed to rebound, she sank further into gloom and again spoke of suicide as a way out, saying, "I was glad that Marilyn Monroe got...
