As the media stars that they are, Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian they managed to exploit each other for their own benefit. That is, until their obvious differences caused the dissolution of this… fragile relationship. Now, a new book about Donald Trump offers more details about the relationship between the former US president and the famous TV personality. The word “friendly” has certainly been removed from the vocabulary.

Journalist Jonathan Karl, a veteran ABC News White House correspondent, published the book “Tired of Winning” (Tired of Winning), which charts the path of the former president – from his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election to today, when he has become the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. The book’s 330 pages include Trump’s meetings and disagreements with Kardashian.

Kardashian and Trump have known each other for years, but their relationship became closer in 2018. At the time, she was married to musician and designer Kanye West, from whom she divorced in January 2021. She was also studying law with the intention of became a lawyer, and one of her main purposes was to grant pardons to people who had been in prison for years, serving long sentences for committing non-violent crimes.

In late May 2018, Kardashian met with then-President Donald Trump at the White House at the invitation of his son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner. At that meeting, they discussed a possible pardon for a 63-year-old black woman, Alice Marie Johnson, who was serving a life sentence for cocaine possession and money laundering. By 2018, she had already served 22 years of her sentence. Just a week after meeting with Kardashian, Trump made the controversial decision to pardon Johnson.

In June 2019, Kardashian returned to Washington to speak with the president and this time gave a press conference at the White House to improve the US prison system. However, they were never seen together again. As Carl recounts in his book, Trump wanted to take advantage of her massive audience, and while the billionaire businesswoman agreed to help, things didn’t turn out the way either of them wanted.

“A source familiar with the discussions tells me that Trump listened to her requests and demanded an immediate return. It would help if Kardashian used her celebrity connections to get soccer stars who were friends of hers to visit him at the White House“, writes the journalist.

“Kardashian tried – really – to do what Trump demanded, seeing it as a small price to pay… But all the players she approached refused. Trump had become very toxic. In the last two weeks of his presidency, no one wanted to be around him».

Although Kardashian has not announced who she will vote for in the 2020 election, after Biden was declared the winner, she shared a photo of Biden and Kamala Harris, with three blue heart emojis. This was the beginning… of the end.

Kardashian has never been a big supporter of Donald Trump. In 2016, he made it clear that he would vote for Hillary Clinton. In fact, he published photos with Clinton with the message: “President Hillary.” She also wrote an article on her website.

And Trump wasn’t exactly pleasant when talking about Kardashian. In an interview in 2013, the former president did not hesitate to criticize her body and the way she dresses – both of which have made her a global icon. Furthermore, he made these comments when she was pregnant with her first daughter: “He’s grown a little. I would say this, I don’t think you should dress like you weigh 120 poundshe said on HLN’s Showbiz Tonight.

In June 2014, on “The Howard Stern Show,” Trump said he would “pass” both Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez when asked who he thought was more beautiful. He added that he thought Kardashian’s butt was too big.
