Former President Trump once joked that his biracial model ex-girlfriend got her 'beauty' from her black parent and her 'intelligence' from her white parent, according to a new book. 

Soon after meeting Young's parents, Trump remarked to his then-girlfriend how she had gotten her looks from her black mother and her 'intelligence' from 'her dad, the white side.' The former president laughed at his own joke, Young did not. 

Young and Trump dated from around 1997-1999 after meeting in the Hamptons, New York. That relationship seemingly overlapped with when he met and started dating another model, former first lady Melania in 1998, all the while still in the process of divorcing his second wife Marla Maples. Trump and Melania Knauss dated on and off until marrying in 2005.
