President Trump stirred a wave of online speculation late Saturday after sharing an enigmatic photo of an unidentified blonde woman, adding the brief caption: “Great daughter.”
Social media users quickly suggested the woman pictured was Margo Catsimatidis, with the image apparently dating back to the 1990s or early 2000s. Still, Trump’s reason for posting the photo in that context remained unclear.
“Great daughter. My Honor!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social alongside the image of Margo.
Margo is married to John Catsimatidis, the billionaire New York City businessman and talk radio host who heads the Gristedes supermarket chain and Red Apple Group. The Catsimatidis family has long maintained close ties to Trump and has been an important donor to the president.
The couple’s daughter, Andrea Catsimatidis, has chaired the Manhattan Republican Party for nearly 10 years. She is also a vocal Trump supporter and considered a close political ally.
The photograph is believed to show Margo during a visit to Camp David while Bill Clinton was in office. In the image, she appears seated on a red couch while talking on the phone.
Camp David was known to have red couches decades ago. According to Margo’s website, she also played an important role in the creation of Evergreen Chapel at the presidential retreat.
She was also reportedly friendly with the Clintons in earlier years.
Trump arrived at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, Saturday evening as Vice President JD Vance leads negotiations with Iran during his trip to Switzerland.
Trump’s visit to Camp David comes amid Vance’s sensitive negotiations with Iran — the first round of talks with the Islamic Republic under the memorandum of understanding, which was signed electronically last week.
The MOU had laid out a framework for a peace deal, but now the two sides are trying to iron out a full-fledged one.
The president told Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst that the MOU is a “60-day option” and stressed that he “can do whatever I want” afterward. The president claims to have spoken with Iranian officials overnight.
He also threatened Iran if the regime tries to close down the Strait of Hormuz again, where roughly a fifth of the world’s seaborne oil supplies once flowed through annually.
“You close it, and you won’t have a country,” Trump told Yingst about his message to Iran. “You won’t even make it back to your f—ing country.”
