Hugh Hefner ’embarrassed’ Trump appeared on Playboy cover, son says

Hugh Hefner’s son says his father regrets ever putting President Trump on the cover of Playboy.

“We don’t respect the guy,” Cooper Hefner told the Hollywood Reporter. “There’s a personal embarrassment because Trump is somebody who has been on our cover.”

Trump appeared on the cover of a March 1990 issue next to clothed playmate Brandi Brandt in a suggestive pose, sporting a white tuxedo shirt and bow tie.

Trump kept a framed copy in his New York City office. A photo of Liberty University President Jerry Falwell with then-candidate Trump drew jeers from social conservatives because he and his wife posed in front of the infamous Playboy cover.
