According to recent reports from The New York Times and 60 Minutes Australia, Anthony Pratt, an Australian businessman who established a close relationship with former President Donald Trump, expressed astonishment at Trump’s behavior, particularly his treatment of his wife, in secretly recorded conversations.

The recordings reveal Pratt’s mixed feelings of admiration for Trump’s calculated maneuvers to avoid legal consequences while often toeing the line of legality. Pratt also recounted a startling conversation between Donald and Melania Trump, alleging that the former president requested Melania to parade in a bikini by the poolside to impress other men.

In another portion, Pratt spoke of a shocking conversation between Donald Trump and Melania Trump, in which the former president allegedly asked his wife parade around in a bikini by the poolside to show other men “what they were missing.”
