President Donald Trump hosted several Republican senators and his brand-new Rose Garden Club at the White House on Tuesday as the government shutdown entered its third week.
During the meeting with Republican leadership, the president went on a bizarre rant about how White House used to have a pool and that the Secret Service once turned away former first lady Jackie Kennedy. “And we’ve had press conferences. We finished it about a month ago,” Trump said of the newly repaved Rose Garden.
“This is, as you see over here, the presidential walk of fame,” continued Trump. “And we had this long wall with half windows because that used to be a swimming pool on the other side of the wall.” The rant came as the chilling reason why Melania will never leave Donald was revealed by a former aide.

“That was the swimming pool where Jackie [Kennedy] would say, ‘I hear women inside. Are women inside?'” Trump alleged. The president further alleged that “I’m not saying anything. This was a part of a movie. And the Secret Service said, ‘No, ma’am.'”
“There’s no women inside, ma’am. I’m sorry, ma’am. You’re going to have to move along,” Trump further quoted. “But I hear women inside. No, ma’am. You’ll have to move along, ma’am. So that was the famous swimming pool.”

Trump then attempted to joke that since then, the area that once housed the pool is now “even worse” since it was now used to house the media. “They covered the pool up. They covered the pool up, and now it’s for the media,” Trump continued.
“And I think we have a small representative group,” he said. “I don’t think they allowed the rest of them. I can’t believe it. What happened? They’re all on the other side of the wall. Can you believe it?”

The story was slammed by social media users. “Trump’s recent speeches are gobbledygook on steroids,” one person commented.
“I look forward to the future books that will tell us what was really wrong with him,”another person said. “He gets all his facts from movies. What a blithering idiot.”

A third person commented that Trump allegedly “screwed a mistress when your wife just delivered your child. You have no room to poke fun.” A fourth person added, “Wtf is this misogynist rambling on about now? He needs a brain transplant.”
White House seduction
Trump’s claims come after a former White House employee by the name of Mimi Alford alleged that she was seduced by former President John F. Kennedy when she was 19 years old. In her 2012 book, Alford detailed how she once received a call from Dave Powers, a close friend of the former president, who invited her to swim at the White House pool.

Despite not having a swimsuit, the press office member dove into the pool along with several other females. Alford wrote that she was shocked to find Kennedy walking in a short while later.
“Mind if I join you?” the president allegedly said before changing into his swim trunks. “He was remarkably fit — flat stomach, toned arms — for a forty-five-year-old man,” Alford wrote.

According to Alford, the two exchanged pleasantries while treading water. A short while later, Alford recalls getting a call from Powers asking if she wanted to attend an informal get-together “upstairs.”
Alford said that she was shocked to find that “upstairs” meant the family’s residency. It was reported that Kennedy offered her a private tour of the residence, and somehow, she found herself in the bedroom occupied by the president and first lady.

“This is a very private room,” he told the young Alford. “The next thing I knew, he was standing in front of me, his face inches away.”
“He placed both hands on my shoulders and guided me toward the edge of the bed,” she added. According to her, she then engaged in sexual relations with the president.
Looking back, Alford claims, “he did take advantage — I was so young. But I liked feeling special.”
It comes after Trump got ‘extremely angry’ about a claim that the majority of the nation would agree with.
