Exclusive: Donald Trump to Brody File on Failed Marriages: 'It's very difficult for a woman to be married to me.'
In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Donald Trump says the lesson he learned from two failed marriages is that, “You do have to devote the requisite time to your marriage.”
Trump admitted to me that because he works so hard, “It's very difficult for a woman to be married to me.” I conducted this interview with Donald Trump in New York City at Trump Tower.
Video and transcription below.
David Brody: Bottom line: What's your message to Evangelicals who may be watching this interview, intrigued and curious about Donald Trump, but not necessarily sold because of a myriad of different reasons from the past?
Donald Trump: Well, I really think I have a very good past. I've had a great success. I've had a lot of things. You could look at…the two failed marriages… I'm a very hard worker, and I've always said it's very difficult for a woman to be married to me because I work all the time.
And you know what? That's what this country needs. This country needs somebody that's going to work. I've always said it was always very unfair for my wife because I work all the time. I'm here, I'm there. I'm home at 10 o'clock in the evening. It's not an easy, traditional thing for a woman but that's what the country needs. It needs somebody that really works and that knows what they're doing.
So that's a difficult thing from a marriage standpoint but it happens to be a very good thing for the country.
Brody: Is there a lesson you learned in those two failed marriages?
Trump: Well, I think the lesson is, and they were both wonderful women, I think the message is you do have to devote the requisite time to your marriage. But it's socially perhaps not the greatest thing to say. This country needs time also.
Our great country, the United States needs time. It needs the time of its leader and if it's not given that time and if intelligent decisions aren't made and made quickly, it will no longer be the great country that we knew.
