Trump Warns Of The Perils Of 'Trophy Wives' During West Point Commencement Speech
President Donald Trump went on a tangent about 'trophy wives' during his commencement address at West Point Military Academy on Saturday. Speaking to graduating cadets, Trump told a story about William Levitt, the real estate developer who pioneered mass-produced homes in suburban developments known as Levittowns. Trump brought Levitt up as an example of someone who had 'momentum' in his career and then lost it. While discussing the life of the 'great, great real estate man,' Trump made a point to comment on his marital history. 'He ended up getting a divorce, found a new wife,' Trump said. 'Could you say a trophy wife? I guess we can say a trophy wife. It didn't work out too well, but that doesn't work out too well, I must tell you. A lot of trophy wives, it doesn't work out. But it made him happy for a little while at least. But he found a new wife.' Levitt, like Trump, was married three times. The Levittown developer divorced his first wife, Rhoda Kirshner, in 1959 and married his secretary, Alice Kenny, the same year. The second marriage lasted until 1969, until Levitt again got divorced and remarried in the same year, this time marrying Simone Korchin, who survived him. At other points in the graduation speech, the MAGA hat-clad Trump referred to the United States the 'hottest country in the world' and credited himself for rebuilding the American military.

Rising Democratic star Ruben Gallego is in Pennsylvania. What's he up to?
LEVITTOWN, Pa. — Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego arrived in this battleground state more than 2,000 miles from his home state of Arizona on Saturday with some tough talk, declaring that members of his party need to connect more authentically with working-class voters. Speaking before a few hundred Pennsylvanians in the auditorium of a local middle school here, Gallego's appearance fueled the ongoing chatter in Democratic circles about his potential as a 2028 presidential contender. The audience appeared to welcome his straight talk about how Democrats need to stop blaming Americans who voted for Donald Trump for the fallout of the president's policies and instead focus on engaging them as Trump's approval ratings have dropped.
