Donald Trump bragged about trying to pick up Kelly Preston in a condolence note he wrote to the actress four days after her son died in 2009.

Trump posted a letter to Preston, whose 16-year-old son, Jett, had died just days earlier after suffering a seizure on a family vacation.

His words were posted on Trump University's website on January 6, 2009.

The message, which was uncovered by Mother Jones, was titled: 'Loyalty and Kelly Preston'.

Trump wrote to Kelly Preston (left, in 1991, and right, in 2009) saying he attempted to woo her at a club 'a long time ago'

'I have always respected people who were loyal and faithful - which brings to mind Kelly Preston. A long time ago, before I was married, I met Kelly Preston at a club and worked like hell to try and pick her up,' Trump wrote.

'She was beautiful, personable, and definitely had allure. At the time I had no idea she was married to John Travolta.

'In any event, my track record on this subject has always been outstanding, but Kelly wouldn’t give me the time of day. She was very nice, very elegant, but I didn’t have a chance with her, and that was that.'

After bragging about his prowess with women, Trump then said he 'liked and respected (Preston) more' once he learned she was married to Travolta.

'Some people have values that matter to them, and she is one of them. Her loyalty was unwavering and I have always remembered that about her,' he wrote.

'Being true to someone is very close to being true to yourself. That’s a valuable attribute in today’s world.'

He then wrapped up the post by offering his condolences.

'I’m sure she was a wonderful mother to Jett and my thoughts are with her and her family after their terrible loss,' the former reality television host said.

The comments are similar to ones he made in 2005 when he was caught out bragging hitting on Nancy O'Dell.

'I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and f*** her. She was married', Trump says in the recording published by the Washington Post.

'And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, "I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture".

'I moved on her like a b***h, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married.'
