(Photo by Andy Kropa/Invision/AP, File) By HILLEL ITALIE NEW YORK (AP) — Even through a year of nonstop news about elections, climate change, protests and the price of eggs, there was still time to read books. U.S. sales held steady according to Circana, which tracks around 85% of the print market, with many choosing the relief of romance, fantasy and romantasy. Some picked up Taylor Swift’s tie-in book to her blockbuster tour, while others sought out literary fiction, celebrity memoirs, political exposes and a close and painful look at a generation hooked on smartphones. Here are 10 notable books published in 2024, in no particular order. Asking about the year’s hottest reads would basically yield a list of the biggest hits in romantasy, the blend of fantasy and romance that has proved so irresistible fans were snapping up expensive “special editions” with decorative covers and sprayed edges. Of the 25 top sellers of 2024, as compiled by Circana, six were by romantasy favorite Sarah J. Maas, including “House of Flame and Shadow,” the third of her “Crescent City” series. Millions read her latest installment about Bryce Quinlan and Hunter Athalar and traced the ever-growing ties of “Maasverse,” the overlapping worlds of “Crescent City” and her other series, “Throne of Glass” and “A Court of Thorns and Roses.” If romantasy is for escape, other books demand we confront. In the bestselling “The Anxious Generation,” social psychologist Jonathan Haidt looks into studies finding that the mental health of young people began to deteriorate in the 2010s, after decades of progress. According to Haidt, the main culprit is right before us: digital screens that have drawn kids away from “play-based” to “phone-based” childhoods. Although some critics challenged his findings, “The Anxious Generation” became a talking point and a catchphrase. Admirers ranged from Oprah Winfrey to Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee, who in a letter to state legislators advocated such “commonsense recommendations” from the book as banning phones in schools and keeping kids off social media until age 16. Bob Woodward books have been an election tradition for decades. “War,” the latest of his highly sourced Washington insider accounts, made news with its allegations that Donald Trump had been in frequent contact with Russian leader Vladimir Putin even while out of office and, while president, had sent Putin sophisticated COVID-19 test machines. Among Woodward’s other scoops: Putin seriously considered using nuclear weapons against Ukraine, and President Joe Biden blamed former President Barack Obama, under whom he served as vice president, for some of the problems with Russia. “Barack never took Putin seriously,” Woodward quoted Biden as saying. Former (and future) first lady Melania Trump, who gives few interviews and rarely discusses her private life, unexpectedly announced she was publishing a memoir: “Melania.” The publisher was unlikely for a former first lady — not one of the major New York houses, but Skyhorse, where authors include such controversial public figures as Woody Allen and Trump cabinet nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And its success was at least a minor surprise. Melania Trump did little publicity for the book, and offered few revelations beyond posting a video expressing support for abortion rights — a break from one of the cornerstones of GOP policy. But “Melania” still sold hundreds of thousands of copies, many in the days following her husband’s election. Taylor Swift was more than a music story in 2024. Like “Melania,” the news about Taylor Swift’s self-published tie-in to her global tour isn’t so much the book itself, but that it exists. And how well it sold. As she did with the “Eras” concert film, Swift bypassed the established industry and worked directly with a distributor: Target offered “The Eras Tour Book” exclusively. According to Circana, the “Eras” book sold more than 800,000 copies just in its opening week, an astonishing number for a publication unavailable through Amazon.com and other traditional retailers. No new book in 2024 had a better debut. Midnight book parties are supposed to be for “Harry Potter” and other fantasy series, but this fall, more than 100 stores stayed open late to welcome one of the year’s literary events: Sally Rooney’s “Intermezzo.” The Irish author’s fourth novel centers on two brothers, their grief over the death of their father, their very different career paths and their very unsettled love lives. “Intermezzo” was also a book about chess: “You have to read a lot of opening theory — that’s the beginning of a game, the first moves,” one of the brothers explains. “And you’re learning all this for what? Just to get an okay position in the middle game and try to play some decent chess. Which most of the time I can’t do anyway.” Lisa Marie Presley had been working on a memoir at the time of her death , in 2023, and daughter Riley Keough had agreed to help her complete it. “From Here to the Great Unknown” is Lisa Marie’s account of her father, Elvis Presley, and the sagas of of her adult life, notably her marriage to Michael Jackson and the death of son Benjamin Keough. To the end, she was haunted by the loss of Elvis, just 42 when he collapsed and died at his Graceland home while young Lisa Marie was asleep. “She would listen to his music alone, if she was drunk, and cry,” Keough, during an interview with Winfrey, said of her mother. Meanwhile, Cher released the first of two planned memoirs titled “Cher” — no further introduction required. Covering her life from birth to the end of the 1970s, she focuses on her ill-fated marriage to Sonny Bono, remembering him as a gifted entertainer and businessman who helped her believe in herself while turning out to be unfaithful, erratic, controlling and so greedy that he kept all the couple’s earnings for himself. Unsure of whether to leave or stay, she consulted a very famous divorcee, Lucille Ball, who reportedly encouraged her: “F— him, you’re the one with the talent.” A trend in recent years is to take famous novels from the past, and remove words or passages that might offend modern readers; an edition of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” cuts the racist language from Mark Twain’s original text. In the most celebrated literary work of 2024, Percival Everett found a different way to take on Twain’s classic — write it from the perspective of the enslaved Jim. “James,” winner of the National Book Award, is a recasting in many ways. Everett suggests to us that the real Jim was nothing like the deferential figure known to millions of readers, but a savvy and learned man who concealed his intelligence from the whites around him, and even from Twain himself. Salman Rushdie’s first National Book Award nomination was for a memoir he wished he had no reason to write. In “Knife,” he recounts in full detail the horrifying attempt on his life in 2022, when an attendee rushed the stage during a literary event in western New York and stabbed him repeatedly, leaving with him a blinded eye and lasting nerve damage, but with a spirit surprisingly intact. “If you had told me that this was going to happen and how would I deal with it, I would not have been very optimistic about my chances,” he told The Associated Press last spring. “I’m still myself, you know, and I don’t feel other than myself. But there’s a little iron in the soul, I think.”Brazil’s Bolsonaro planned and participated in coup plot, police report alleges

Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro was fully aware of and actively participated in a coup plot to remain in office after his defeat in the 2022 election, according to a federal police report unsealed on Tuesday. Brazil’s federal police last Thursday formally accused Mr Bolsonaro and 36 other people of attempting a coup. They sent their 884-page report to the Supreme Court, which lifted the seal. “The evidence collected throughout the investigation shows unequivocally that then-president Jair Messias Bolsonaro planned, acted and was directly and effectively aware of the actions of the criminal organisation aiming to launch a coup d’etat and eliminate the democratic rule of law, which did not take place due to reasons unrelated to his desire,” the document said. At another point, it says: “Bolsonaro had full awareness and active participation.” Mr Bolsonaro, who had repeatedly alleged without evidence that the country’s electronic voting system was prone to fraud, called a meeting in December 2022, during which he presented a draft decree to the commanders of the three divisions of the armed forces, according to the police report, signed by four investigators. The decree would have launched an investigation into suspicions of fraud and crimes related to the October 2022 vote, and suspended the powers of the nation’s electoral court. The navy’s commander stood ready to comply, but those from the army and air force objected to any plan that prevented Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s inauguration, the report said. Those refusals are why the plan did not go ahead, according to witnesses who spoke to investigators. Mr Bolsonaro never signed the decree to set the final stage of the alleged plan into action. Mr Bolsonaro has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or awareness of any plot to keep him in power or oust his leftist rival and successor. “No one is going to do a coup with a reserve general and half a dozen other officers. What is being said is absurd. For my part, there has never been any discussion of a coup,” Mr Bolsonaro told journalists in the capital Brasilia on Monday. “If someone came to discuss a coup with me, I’d say, that’s fine, but the day after, how does the world view us?” he added. “The word ‘coup’ has never been in my dictionary.” The top court has passed the report on to prosecutor-general Paulo Gonet. He will decide whether to formally charge Mr Bolsonaro. Rodrigo Rios, a law professor at the PUC university in the city of Curitiba, said Mr Bolsonaro could face up to a minimum of 11 years in prison if convicted on all charges. “A woman involved in the January 8 attack on the Supreme Court received a 17-year prison sentence,” Mr Rios told the Associated Press, noting that the former president is more likely to receive 15 years or more if convicted. “Bolsonaro’s future looks dark.” Ahead of the 2022 election, Mr Bolsonaro repeatedly alleged that the election system, which does not use paper ballots, could be tampered with. The top electoral court later ruled that he had abused his power to cast unfounded doubt on the voting system, and ruled him ineligible for office until 2030. Still, he has maintained that he will stand as a candidate in the 2026 race. Since Mr Bolsonaro left office, he has been targeted by several investigations, all of which he has chalked up to political persecution. Federal police have accused him of smuggling diamond jewellery into Brazil without properly declaring them and directing a subordinate to falsify his and others’ Covid-19 vaccination statuses. Authorities are also investigating whether he incited the riot on January 8 2022 in which his followers ransacked the Supreme Court and presidential palace in Brasilia, seeking to prompt intervention by the army that would oust Mr Lula from power. Mr Bolsonaro had left for the United States days before Mr Lula’s inauguration on January 1 2023 and stayed there for three months, keeping a low profile. The police report unsealed on Tuesday alleges he was seeking to avoid possible imprisonment related to the coup plot, and also await the uprising that took place a week later.None

Seed of betrayal: Kenyatta, Odinga fallout that shaped Kenya's political scene6 top ASX shares for December 2024 (smallest to largest) ( as of market close 29 November 2024) Why our Fool writers love these ASX stocks Mesoblast Ltd Mesoblast develops allogeneic (off-the-shelf) cellular medicines to treat severe and life-threatening inflammatory conditions. The company has a broad portfolio of late-stage product candidates. Last December, you could have snapped up Mesoblast shares for just 28 cents apiece. Today, those same shares are worth $1.77. That's a 528% gain in just one year. Now, I don't expect the stock to repeat that stellar performance in 2025. But I do believe Mesoblast is well placed for another year of significant outperformance, with two of its core products moving towards commercialisation. As Mesoblast chair Jane Bell pointed out at the November , "2024 has been pivotal in our journey toward commercialising our therapies." Amid ongoing progress with the United States FDA, the company is aiming to launch its Ryoncil product to treat ill children. Mesoblast also plans to file for accelerated FDA approval of its Revascor product for end-stage heart failure patients. On the bottom line, Mesoblast's remains solid. And costs have been coming down, with the company's net operating cash spend for the September quarter declining by 26% year over year. Lovisa Holdings Ltd If you head to your nearest major shopping centre, there's a high chance you'll find a Lovisa store. The fast fashion jewellery retailer has rapidly become a go-to for the latest trendy accessories in 49 countries worldwide, flexing a 927-store footprint. Lovisa's recent performance may not look as as in previous years, and the 19% dulling of the share price in the past six weeks says as much. However, there are few companies in the unaffected by tightened consumer spending at the moment. In times like these, it is vital to see the bigger picture. While growth has slowed due to the weighty anchor of elevated , Lovisa remains an exceptional outlier of retailing excellence. The company has more than doubled its net earnings and increased its revenue by nearly 2.8 times in just five years. The expansion opportunity is still intact, and Brett Blundy's colossal 39% stake suggests retailing royalty hasn't lost faith either. Brickworks Limited Brickworks is best known as a major manufacturer of building products. It's the biggest brickmaker in Australia and northeastern United States. In Australia, it's also involved in roofing, stone and masonry, timber battens, cement, and more. The business also has an investments and property division. It's a tough operating environment in the construction industry at the moment, which is limiting demand for Brickworks' products. But, in a industry like building products, I think right now is a good time to invest. Conditions are weak, and investors can patiently wait for a rebound of demand when in Australia eventually fall. Another attractive feature of this investment is its large asset base, particularly its investments and property division. At 31 July 2024, Brickworks had an underlying asset backing of $35.79 per share, so Brickworks shares are currently trading at an approximate discount of 25% to this. Brickworks is expecting the property trusts, which it owns half of, to deliver "significant growth in net rental income" over the coming years from both new developments and lease renewals of existing assets. The industrial properties are also benefitting from the structural trend of e-commerce demand growth, which the company thinks will "continue to drive demand" for prime industrial facilities for many years to come. The company is continuing to evaluate the development potential of its real estate sites. Brickworks has used this land for building manufacturing but is now looking to develop it with industrial properties. TechnologyOne Ltd TechnologyOne is a software company that provides enterprise software to large corporations and governments. It is Australia's largest listed software company, with a footprint across six countries. The securities of listed companies typically follow the earnings growth of the businesses they represent. TechnologyOne has compounded earnings at nearly 15% per year since 2015. It earns tremendously high rates on , averaging more than 30% annually over the same period. , meanwhile, have averaged more than 10% growth per year since then. It's no wonder that TechnologyOne's stock price has compounded by about 21% per year since 2014, as well. Part of the reason for this is that TechnologyOne's earnings are defensive, as it has exposure to sectors unrelated to the business cycle, such as governments, the education sector, healthcare, and so forth. These recession-proof profits have shown resilience and are valued highly in the market – the stock trades at a of 84x at the time of writing. This is pricey, but consensus projects earnings to compound at 21% per year until 2027, according to CommSec. When you adjust for these growth rates, the forward P/E ratio is around 48x, which, according to CommSec data, is within range of the company's 10-year average of 42x. Any pullback to this valuation should be viewed favourably under this context. Management now has the audacious goal of producing $1 billion in by FY30 and, if history is anything to go by, behind every dollar of these sales could be about 30 cents of operating . This kind of persistent earnings growth and heavy cash production is hard to come by. NextDC Ltd NextDC is a company enabling business transformation through innovative data centre outsourcing solutions, connectivity services, and infrastructure management software. Although NextDC shares have rallied strongly this year, a recent pullback means they are trading meaningfully below their 52-week high. I think this has created a rare buying opportunity to snap up shares in a high-quality company that has at least a decade of very strong growth ahead of it. This is being underpinned by the data centre operator's growing footprint across the Asia-Pacific region and the third wave of demand that's being driven by the boom. For example, analysts at Morgans stated that recent industry updates reinforce their "view that the significant demand for cloud computing and AI-related digital infrastructure is going to un[der]pin attractive returns and long-term growth." For this reason, the broker and a $20.50 price target. BHP Group Ltd BHP is the largest company on the ASX and one of the largest in the world. It has huge operations in resources like , , and . With the ASX 200 continuing to break new record highs, finding compelling value opportunities in the current market is difficult. That's why I'm checking out mining giant BHP. Unlike most ASX 200 shares, BHP has not had a good year in 2024, tanking by almost 20% since January. To be fair, this hasn't come out of the blue. like iron ore have had a rough year, with their short-term outlook looking challenging today. However, I always think the best time to initiate a position in a mining stock is when things are looking bleak. BHP is a cyclical company and has proven to be a lucrative investment (and dividend payer) when the cycle inevitably swings back up. As such, buying BHP shares at current levels might prove to be a wise decision down the road. Even when commodity prices are low, BHP tends to pay out a decent, fully dividend , as well.

The FBI said it was investigating. “Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them," Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. The attacks ranged from bomb threats to swatting, in which attackers initiate an emergency law enforcement response against a target victim under false pretenses, she said. The tactic has become a popular one in recent years. Leavitt said law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted and Trump and his transition team are grateful. Among those targeted were New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, Trump’s pick to serve as the next ambassador to the United Nations; Matt Gaetz, Trump’s initial pick to serve as attorney general; Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, whom Trump chose to lead the Department of Labor, and former New York congressman Lee Zeldin, who has been tapped to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Law enforcement officials are also looking into whether Susie Wiles, Trump’s incoming chief of staff, and Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general whom Trump has chosen as Gaetz’s replacement, and other incoming administration officials were also victims — as well as how each was targeted, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity as the investigation continues. Wiles and Bondi did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The FBI said in a statement that it was “aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees" and was investigating with its law enforcement partners. White House spokesperson Saloni Sharma said President Joe Biden had been briefed and the White House is in touch with federal law enforcement and Trump's transition team. Biden “continues to monitor the situation closely," Sharma said, adding the president and his administration “condemn threats of political violence.” Stefanik's office said that, on Wednesday morning, she, her husband, and their 3-year-old son were driving home from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence in Saratoga County. Police swept Stefanik’s home on Wednesday morning in response to the bomb threat but did not locate any explosive devices, New York State Police said. Zeldin said in a social media post that he and his family had also been threatened. “A pipe bomb threat targeting me and my family at our home today was sent in with a pro-Palestinian themed message,” he wrote on X. “My family and I were not home at the time and are safe." In Florida, the Okaloosa County sheriff’s office said on Facebook that it “received notification of a bomb threat referencing former Congressman Matt Gaetz’s supposed mailbox at a home in the Niceville area" Wednesday. While a family member resides at the address, the office said, Gaetz “is NOT a resident.” No threatening devices were found. Gaetz was Trump’s initial pick to serve as attorney general, but he withdrew from consideration after allegations that he paid women for sex and slept with underage women. Gaetz has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, and a Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations ended with no charges against him. The threats follow a political campaign marked by disturbing and unprecedented violence. In July, a gunman opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, grazing the then-candidate in the ear with a bullet and killing one of his supporters. The Secret Service later thwarted a subsequent assassination attempt at Trump's West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course when an agent spotted the barrel of a gun poking through a perimeter fence while Trump was golfing. Trump was also the subject of an Iranian murder-for-hire plot, with a man saying he had been tasked with planning the assassination of the Republican president-elect. Also this week, authorities arrested a man they say posted videos on social media threatening to kill Trump, according to court documents. In one video posted on Nov. 13, Manuel Tamayo-Torres threatened to shoot the former president while holding what appeared to be an AR-15 style rifle, authorities said Among the other videos he posted was one from an arena in Glendale, Arizona on Aug. 23, the same day Trump held a campaign rally there, according to court papers. An attorney for Tamayo-Torres did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. Public figures across the political spectrum have been targeted in recent years by hoax bomb threats and false reports of shootings at their homes. About a year ago the FBI responded to an uptick in such incidents at the homes of public officials, state capitols and courthouses across the country around the holidays. Many were locked down and evacuated in early January after receiving bomb threats. No explosives were found and no one was hurt. Some of those targeted last year were Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.

City at least avoided a sixth consecutive defeat but the manner in which they blew a commanding advantage will do little to settle nerves in and around the club ahead of Sunday’s trip to Premier League leaders Liverpool. City appeared in total control after a brace from Erling Haaland and another from Ilkay Gundogan had them three up seven minutes into the second half, but after Anis Hadj Moussa got one back in the 75th minute, City imploded. “It is what it is, difficult to swallow right now,” Guardiola said. “The game was good, we played well, we scored three and could have scored more. We do everything and then we give away, especially the first one, and after we are not stable enough to do it. “It’s not about no run or no commitment, but football you have to be [switched on] in certain moments to do it.” Santiago Gimenez got Feyenoord’s second in the 82nd minute and David Hancko got a dramatic equaliser in the 89th, making City the first team in Champions League history to have led 3-0 in the 75th minute of a match and fail to win. Some City fans, who suffered through Saturday’s 4-0 humiliation at home to Tottenham, made their frustrations known at the final whistle. “The last game against Tottenham, 0-4, the supporters were there, applause,” he said. “They are disappointed of course and we understand it. “People come here not to remember success of the past, they come here to see the team win and perform well. I am not the one when the situation is bad or good [to say] what they have to do. “These supporters, when we go away, our fans are amazing, travelling. There is nothing to do and they are right to express what they feel.” Guardiola’s own frustrations were apparent given the number of scratches visible on his head after the match. The Catalan had arrived at the ground with a cut on his nose, which he said he had caused himself with a long fingernail. City now face a trip to Anfield to face the Liverpool side of former Feyenoord boss Arne Slot, whose named was chanted by the visiting fans during the match. “Everybody knows the situation, I don’t have to add absolutely anything,” Guardiola said. “We are going to train tomorrow, recovery and prepare the next game. Day off and we have two or three days to prepare that and go for it. We will learn for the future and what has been has been. “It will be a tough season for us and we have to accept it for many circumstances.” Feyenoord’s late fightback brought jubilant scenes in the away end. “I think if you’re from Feyenoord it was an unbelievable evening,” head coach Brian Priske said. “A strange game which ends 3-3 which is an unbelievable result for us and also remarkable in the essence of being 3-0 down in minute 75 away from home against still, for me, the best team in the world. “Normally we don’t celebrate draws but this one is a little bit special.”Busy and full: highlights of Jimmy Carter’s life

Man City stumble again while Arsenal and Bayern Munich earn dominant winsAP Sports SummaryBrief at 4:36 p.m. EST

Donald Trump Jr. has publicly confirmed neither a breakup from longtime fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle nor a new relationship with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson. But sources close to Trump Jr., 46, and the family of President-elect Donald Trump are opening up to People magazine about the reasons that Trump Jr. became tired of his six-year relationship to Guilfoyle, 55, and began dating the younger Anderson about six months ago, “right under Guilfoyle’s nose,” as the Daily Beast added . It turns out that Trump Jr. didn’t like Guilfoyle’s “style,” including the “tight dresses,” a political source told People in another report . He felt that the 39-year-old Anderson, with her honey-blond hair and “Waspy” model looks, would “impress” his father and perhaps make her a more ideal romantic partner. “Don Jr. has always wanted to look good in his father’s eyes,” the political source told People. Meanwhile, Trump family members got tired of Guilfoyle’s attention-seeking ways and are happy that the former Fox News host will be leaving their “immediate sphere” to take a job as Trump’s new ambassador to Greece, People reported. “Kim is not a nice person and always wants the limelight,” a source told People in another report . The former first lady of San Francisco-turned Trump loyalist couldn’t help but become aware that her fiancé had begun seeing Anderson after he took the socialite on a trip to Alaska and started to introduce her to family and friends as his new girlfriend, even “when he was still very much with Kim,” People reported. “For the most part Kim has looked the other way because she loves the power and lifestyle,” the source told People. When Guilfoyle became Trump Jr.’s girlfriend in 2018, she also became a top campaigner and fundraiser for Trump and one-half of a MAGA power couple. And, as Trump himself said on Truth Social Tuesday, he named her to be U.S. ambassador to Greece in part because he wanted to reward her for being “a close friend and ally.” But, as many suspected, sending Guilfoyle off to Europe was part of a Trump family plan to “remove her from the picture,” so that Anderson could take her place as Trump Jr.’s new significant other, People reported. “They are trying to send Kim abroad,” a political insider told People, who added that Anderson also wanted Guilfoyle “out of the area.” The plan also was for Trump Jr. to wait for the election to pass before letting the public know that he no longer saw a future with Guilfoyle and had a new woman in his life — who also happens to be “a big Republican,” People reported. “They didn’t want the split to get in the way of anything to hurt Donald in the election,” the political insider told People. The U.K. tabloid the Daily Mail on Tuesday confirmed months of speculation that Trump Jr. and Anderson were an item by publishing photos of the two leaving a dinner date in Palm Beach Monday night. Later Tuesday, Trump announced he was nominating Guilfoyle to be the U.S. ambassador to Greece. For public purposes, Guilfoyle said on social media that she was “honored” to accept the nomination, while Trump Jr. gallantly said on X, “I am so proud of Kimberly. She loves America and she always has wanted to serve the country as an ambassador.” Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle, the ex-wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, began dating in 2018, shortly after Trump Jr.’s first wife, Vanessa, filed for divorce to end their 12-year marriage. Trump Jr. and Vanessa share five children. Guilfoyle also left her lucrative job at Fox News after she began dating Trump Jr. The New Yorker reported in 2020 that Guilfoyle was effectively forced out of her Fox News job, following a human resources into allegations that she engaged in sexually inappropriate behavior in the workplace. As a couple, Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle, a former San Francisco prosecutor, became known as “the prom king and queen of MAGA” politics as they campaigned together around the country on his father’s behalf. At donor events, they also were known for alluding to their playful sex life, while Guilfoyle often liked to introduce herself to the crowd — or appear at Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, rally preceding the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol — doing a sexy dance. At such events, Trump Jr. appeared to take delight in Guilfoyle’s sexy dances and flamboyant style. But at some point he began to get weary of it, according to the political insider who said that he had started to complain about her “style,” People reported. Others in their “orbit” shared his complaints, according to People. “Don Jr. has been telling people for months that Kim is so uptight and always dresses so professionally in these kinds of dresses and high heels, and never looks relaxed or casual,” the political source said, while commenting to People on “the optics” of the relationship. “The tight dresses need to go, and she has been told that.” Apparently, Anderson’s more natural, fun-loving style is more to Trump Jr.’s taste these days, especially as he sees that she could become his “own Melania Trump equivalent,” a source told People. “She is a party girl, and outgoing, and Don is smitten with her,” a Palm Beach source told People. “Bettina is smart, sexy and savvy and knows it. She likes to have fun,” another source added. “Who knows what, if anything, will come from this.” ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc. Visit at mercurynews.com.
