“Lara Trump may be her father-in-law’s pick for the next co-chair of the Republican National Committee, but according to Donald Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, it was only after her public flattery of the former president that he began to warm up to his second son Eric’s wife,” the Daily Beast reports.
Said Cohen: “Donald didn’t even like her for many, many years. He didn’t want Eric to even marry her.”
But Cohen said Donald Trump changed his mind: “He’s watching television, and he sees this girl, this blonde, talking about him on television, and it caught his attention. And he’s like, ‘Woah, woah, these are like, beautiful things. These are… really incredible, beautiful things.’ He realized, ‘Oh my God, that’s my daughter-in-law. That’s Lara Trump.’”
