On Tuesday’s broadcast of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” the 52-year-old actress said Trump called her following his divorce from second wife Marla Maples in 1999 ― and used a very cheesy chat-up line to try to woo her.
“He said, ’I really think we should date because you’re America’s sweetheart and I’m America’s richest man and the people would love it,’” Shields explained.
The “Suddenly Susan” star fended off Trump’s advances, however, by telling him that she had a boyfriend who would “not really” be happy about it.
Shields’ revelation came during a game in which she had to guess whom she’d been pictured with over the years. When an old black-and-white snap of herself with Trump at a charity event popped up on the screen, she gagged and stuck her tongue out. “I can’t even speak,” she added.
With few legislative accomplishments under his belt, President Donald Trump has repeatedly turned to executive orders ― a tool once maligned by Republicans ― to undo much of former President Barack Obama’s regulatory legacy. While some have been consequential ― like approving the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline ― many of Trump’s orders have been symbolic, like one minimizing the “burden” of Obamacare regulations.
Trump appears to enjoy the act of signing executive orders and bills more than any of his recent predecessors. While other presidents have also ceremoniously signed documents, Trump regularly holds up his work for photo opportunities.
