Trump: You're a nut if you don't get a pre-nup

Property tycoon Donald Trump is such a big advocate for prenuptial agreements, he believes only a "nut" wouldn't sign one.

Trump, star of hit reality show The Apprentice, lost $25m (€20.5m) to first wife Ivana in 1990 and made sure he signed a pre-nup with second wife Marla Maples, who walked away with just $2m (€1.6m).

Now that he's engaged to Slovenian beauty Melinia Knauss, he's preparing to once more to go through the pre-nup procedure.

He says: "I've written about it. You have to have a pre-nup. It's a terrible, ugly document, but if you don't get one signed you're a nut.

"You have something wrong.

"I'm gonna have a great wife, but in my world… it's very tough. Doing a business deal is easy. Doing a pre-nup is very tough.

"'Darling I love you. There's never been anybody like you. By the way, just in case we happen to get divorced, would you sign this?'

"There's nothing good about a pre-nup, except you sort of need it. I know friends of mine who were just absolutely destroyed by not having 'em.

"I'm sure I won't need it, but... it's a good thing to have."

Knauss has yet to sign a pre-nup.
