Donald Trump: Jesse James was foolish

Donald Trump has broken his silence on Jesse James’ alleged affair. He’s been friends with him and wife Sandra Bullock ever since James appeared on Celebrity Apprentice. And Donald admits he’s shocked at Jesse’s behavior, calling their situation a real mess.

“I am very surprised, especially because I know Sandra and how nice she is. She is such a great person & what surprises me even more is he always gave me the impression he was totally in love with her. It doesn’t change my image of him but I thought he respected Sandra and loved her,” Trump said to Star magazine.

Donald notes that Jesse was a “very smart” contestant but “very argumentative” during the show, he says, “Jesse did something very foolish – obviously. I think it’s very unfortunate. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors? But I can say this Sandra is a high-quality person & I respect her tremendously.”
