A message of sympathy to a grieving mother from Donald Trump took on a decidedly creepy tone.
In a blog post written in 2009 following the death of their son, Jett, the GOP nominee reminded John Travolta‘s wife, Kelly Preston, that he has once tried to sleep with her.
“A long time ago, before I was married, I met Kelly Preston at a club and worked like hell to try and pick her up,” he wrote on the now-defunct Trump University blog. “She was beautiful, personable, and definitely had allure. At the time I had no idea she was married to John Travolta.”
The strange blog post was rediscovered by Mother Jones, which published it Tuesday as part of its “Trump Files” series, a “daily dose of telling episodes, strange but true stories, or curious scenes” from Trump’s life.
The liberal magazine said the message was written shortly after Travolta and Preston’s son, Jett, suffered a fatal seizure at age 16 while on a family vacation.
Trump went on to boast about his success with the opposite sex, writing: “In any event, my track record on this subject has always been outstanding, but Kelly wouldn’t give me the time of day,” he said. “She was very nice, very elegant, but I didn’t have a chance with her, and that was that.”
At least he ended the blog post by saying his thoughts were with Preston and her family, Mother Jones reported.
He also seemed overly impressed that she wasn’t tempted to cheat on her husband.
“Some people have values that matter to them, and she is one of them. Her loyalty was unwavering and I have always remembered that about her,” Trump wrote in the article titled “Loyalty and Kelly Preston.”
“Being true to someone is very close to being true to yourself. That’s a valuable attribute in today’s world. I’m sure she was a wonderful mother to Jett and my thoughts are with her and her family after their terrible loss,” the then Chairman of Trump University concluded.

Howard Stern, for his part, has said he’s supporting Clinton in the presidential election. "I don't dislike Trump as a candidate," he told the Washington Post, "but I am absolutely enamored by Hillary. And I've told Donald that."
While promoting the Miss USA pageant in 2005, Trump told the shock jock, "If you're looking for a rocket scientist, don't tune in tonight. But if you're looking for a really beautiful woman, you should watch."
Shortly after Trump married wife #3, Melania, in 2005, he talked about wanting to have more children… with one condition: "I mean, I won't do anything to take care of them. I'll supply funds and she'll take care of the kids. It's not like I'm gonna be walking the kids down Central Park."
"It looks like she had the lips pumped," Trump said of Anna Nicole Smith. "For all of your many women listening, why do women have their lips pumped? It is the most disgusting thing to look at these big fat pumped up tires."
"I never thought she was good-looking," Trump said of beauty, Angelina Jolie. "I don't think she's got good skin. I don't think she's got a great face. I think her lips are too big, to be honest with you, they look like too big."
A few months after Princess Diana was killed in an automobile accident, Trump told Stern he would have slept with her "without hesitation" and that "she had the height, she had the beauty, she had the skin." He added, "She was crazy, but these are minor details."
Playboy magazine model Carmen Electra had a body that scored low with Trump, who said on Stern's radio show, "The boob job is terrible — they look like two light posts coming out of a body."
During the height of "Desperate Housewives" popularity, Trump rated the female cast on a scale of 1 to 10 based on their attractiveness. He said of Nicollette Sheridan, "A person who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10."
he got to Marcia Cross, he asked Stern, "Would you go out with Marcia Cross or would you turn gay, Howard?"
