Actor Billy Baldwin says Trump hit on his wife

NEW YORK — Actor Billy Baldwin says President Donald Trump hit on his wife during a ritzy hotel party in Manhattan more than two decades ago, blasting the commander in chief as a “black belt” sexual harasser.

Baldwin fired off the stark allegation­s on Thanksgivi­ng morning in response to a tweet from Donald Trump Jr. about the latest sexual harassment allegation­s against beleaguere­d Democratic Sen. Al Franken.

“Your Dad is a 5th degree black belt when it comes to sexual impropriet­y allegation­s,” Baldwin tweeted at Trump Jr. “In fact … I once had a party at the Plaza Hotel … your father showed up uninvited & hit on my wife … invited her on his helicopter to Atlantic City.”

The 54-year-old B-list actor bluntly added, “She showed his fat a— the door.”

A man who attended the party told the New York Daily News that Baldwin was hosting an intimate get-together in a Plaza hotel room for his soon-to-be wife Chynna Phillips’ birthday when Trump suddenly knocked on the door.

Trump owned the hotel at the time and was a fixture at parties there until he was forced to sell after declaring bankruptcy in November 1992.

“Trump came barging in and started saying, ‘Let’s get in my helicopter, let’s blow this party and get out of here,’” the party attendant recalled.

There were only about five people in the room, he said, and everyone grew noticeably uncomforta­ble when Trump entered.
