If there's someone who knows what tacky is, it's Donald Trump! The real estate developer blasted the owners of the Astor Courts, where Chelsea Clinton had her wedding, for running an ad saying, "Yes. It's for Sale... Home of Recent Celebrity Wedding." Trump told Page Six, "Over the years, I've seen many tacky things take place in the wonderful world of real estate, but never have I seen anything so bad. It was disgusting, and if I were Bill or Hillary Clinton, I would never speak to their 'good friend,' the owner, again. They were used." It's unclear if Trump finds (allegedly!) inflating sales figures for his Soho building tacky or not.
