Donald And Melania Trump Met At Fashion Event

Donald And Melania Trump Met At Fashion Event, Donald and Melania Trump sat with The Donald’s ex-wife, Ivana, in the front row at Andrea Bocelli’s concert in Central Park Thursday evening. When Ivana and her date arrived in the VIP area, they were ushered to Trump’s seats by mistake.

So when the real estate mogul and Melania arrived, the couple was taken to the same seats, only to find them already taken. Ushers rushed over to sort out the snafu and found two extra seats for Ivana and her date in the front row.

The four then sat next to one another comfortably for the al fresco concert. Other celebrities who braved the rainy weather included Roberto Cavalli, Sting, Alec Baldwin, Kim Kardashian and hubby Kris Humphries. The SRO crowd carried ponchos, umbrellas and even garbage bags to stay dry while listening to the superstar tenor and special guests Celine Dion, Bryn Terfel and Tony Bennett.

In a rare treat, Bocelli sang four songs in English, including “New York, New York” with Bennett.

With his trademark flair for spectacle, Donald Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for president Thursday on the famed Las Vegas strip — just hours after Newt Gingrich’s advisers were spreading the word that The Donald would be anointing him instead.

Trump’s endorsement seemed likely to affect this Saturday’s Nevada primary — and the GOP nomination fight in general — about as much as a Sin City breeze disturbs the real estate mogul’s legendary hair. But he managed to create a stir of a different sort, at least for a day.

Romney said he was glad to get the support, but he seemed almost bemused to be caught up in the Trumpian drama.

“There are some things you just can’t imagine happening. This is one of them,” Romney said with a smile, looking out at the reporters and cameras jammed into the lobby of the hotel complex that bears Trump’s name. The real estate mogul had entered to applause, with Romney and his wife, Ann, at his side

“Mitt is tough, he’s smart, he’s sharp and he’s not going to allow bad things to continue to happen to this country we all love,” Trump said. He vigorously shook Romney’s hand and said, “Go out and get `em. You can do it.”

But the endorsement was just the finale for a puzzling chain of events that began Wednesday when Trump’s office announced he would be flying to Las Vegas for a “major announcement” related to the presidential contest. Trump had announced last spring he would not run for the Republican nomination but had hinted as recently as last month that he might run for president as an independent.

What would he say in Las Vegas? Gingrich advisers suggested Trump had sent “signals” that he planned endorse the former House speaker. The Gingrich team began leaking word of an impending endorsement to news organizations including The Associated Press.

Nope. Reporters learned Thursday that Trump would be endorsing Romney instead.

Earlier, on a tour of a Las Vegas manufacturing facility, Gingrich made clear he had gotten the message.

“No,” the former House speaker replied when asked if he was expecting Trump’s endorsement. He added that he was amazed at the attention Trump was getting.

Romney hasn’t always been Trump’s man.
