Wanna sleep with Donald Trump? Snuggle up next to Playgirl magazine’s Trump pillowcase from 1990
Donald Trump’s election on Tuesday breaks so many barriers and establishes so many firsts. Nearly all of them negative. First president never to have served in the military or hold political office. First president to have a pending rape trial at the time of the election. First president to have appeared in a softcore porno video.
Or how about this one? In 1990, Trump’s divorce from Ivana hadn’t even happened yet when Playgirl used it as the peg for this salacious ad pimping a contest in which readers could win a pillowcase with the Donald’s mug on it.
The headline for the contest trumpeted “Sleep with Donald Trump” and the body of the text referenced Marla Maples’ claim that Donald was “the best sex I’ve ever had.”
The advertisement also touted Trump’s promiscuity as an appealing, positive trait, as in he wouldn’t be able to “stay out of someone’s bed for long.” In the campaign that just ended, Trump’s much-touted infidelity and sexual aggression didn’t seem to faze the white rural Christian voters who love him so much.
Here’s the text:
SLEEP WITH DONALD TRUMP!
The contest that puts you in bed with the man of your dreams.
He’s tall, good-looking, about to be divorced, and rich beyond your wildest imagination. His every move makes headlines–even his bedroom moves. One woman reportedly called him “the best sex I’ve ever had.” He’s multi-billionare Donald Trump, and now, if you win our contest, you can snuggle up and get to know him too.
It’s easy! Just fill out the coupon below and mail it to us by August 15, 1990. We’ll pick winners at random (one for each million soon-to-be-ex-wife Ivana’s prenuptial agreement).
Each lucky winner will receive a pillowcase exclusively silkscreened for this PLAYGIRL contest with Donald’s face, so you can lie there whispering sweet nothings in his ear all night. If you win you’ll also get a copy of Masquerade Books’ hot new read, Donald Trump, The Man, The Myth, The Scandal, by Joel Reed. You’ll be able to find out whatever you want to know about America’s most magnetic magnate. Don’t wait. A catch like Donald Trump won’t stay out of someone’s bed for long!
