Which state to push Clinton, Trump over top?
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump tried to invite himself to Chelsea Clinton's wedding in 2010, according to a new book on former President Bill Clinton.

An except from "Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton," which was released exclusively to Politico Playbook, tells of Trump's futile efforts to attend Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

"And finally there was Donald Trump, who had hosted a somewhat reluctant Bill and Hillary [Clinton] at his third wedding in 2005," writes the book's author, Joe Conason. "The real estate mogul was the sort of person who, though not an actual friend, still aspired to attend Chelsea's wedding, which he clearly considered a prestigious event."

When Trump didn't receive an invitation, he reportedly called Doug Band, an adviser to the former president.

"I'm supposed to be at the wedding, Doug," Trump said. "But I didn't receive the invitation, and I need to know where to go."

Conason writes that Band knew Trump wasn't on the list and suggested he contact Chelsea Clinton for directions.

"At that point, the would-be wedding crasher apparently gave up," Conason writes.

No real surprise. He has a habit of trying to interject himself into everything. From the Reagan Diaries, Trump tried several times to try to get in front of the President for the attention and Reagan was warned about Trump's yuge ego and using it as a publicity stunt. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Reagan-White-House-Wary-Trump/2016/06/22/id/735065/

Trump actually asked the Reagan White House for a letter congratulating him on the completion of Trump Tower.

An unchecked ego like that could be dangerous.  (See:  Obama's arrogance as the CIC).
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

I'm sorry, but I would take anything written by noted leftist Joe Conason with an entire truckload of salt. He's deeper in the Clintons' pockets than lint.

Trump is a "Hanger Oner" of the worst kind.  Sad really.
