• Dinesh D'Souza, the conservative commentator and filmmaker whom President Trump pardoned in May, has a new documentary out with a 0% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
• D'Souza's film, "Death of a Nation: Can We Save America a Second Time?," argues that Trump is a modern-day Abraham Lincoln, and that today's Democrats are the historical successors to fascist regimes like the Nazi Party.

Dinesh D'Souza, the conservative commentator and filmmaker who pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance laws in 2014 and received a full pardon from President Trump in May, has released a new documentary that critics are tearing apart.

D'Souza's film, "Death of a Nation: Can We Save America a Second Time?," argues in part that Trump is a modern-day Abraham Lincoln, and that today's Democrats are the historical successors to fascist regimes like the Nazi Party.

The documentary currently has a 0% "rotten" rating on the reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, and critics have roundly criticized it as a "revisionist" take on history and modern politics.  

"If ever there was a movie that looked as if it had been slapped together in a couple of weeks as part of a quid pro quo agreement involving a dubious-seeming criminal pardon, 'Death of a Nation' is that film," Peter Sobczynski wrote in a zero-star review of D'Souza's film for RogerEbert.com. 

"D'Souza fails, as ever, to make an argument that would resonate outside the QAnon echo chamber," wrote The AV Club's Vadim Rizov in an "F" grade review.

The film has resonated with at least one person close to the Trump administration. 

Donald Trump Jr. attended the Washington premiere of D'Souza's film on Wednesday and had the following to say about the film's central thesis:

"You see the Nazi platform from the early 1930s ... and you look at it compared to the DNC platform of today, you're saying, 'Man, those things are awfully similar' to a point where it's actually scary. It's the exact opposite of what you've been told." 

"Death of a Nation" is now playing in select theaters nationwide.

• Toward the end of a commercial shoot for Pizza Hut's Stuffed Crust Pizza in 1995, then-businessman Donald Trump insisted on doing a final scene that his ex-wife, Ivana Trump, objected to doing.
• The scene alluded to their ongoing divorce, which was public in the New York City tabloids.
• Two ad writers on the commercial told the full story on Business Insider's new podcast, "Household Name".

Toward the end of a commercial shoot for Pizza Hut's stuffed-crust pizza in 1995, then-businessman Donald Trump insisted on doing a final scene that his ex-wife, Ivana Trump, objected to doing.

Ad writers Janet Lyons and Michael Campbell told the story on Business Insider's new podcast, "Household Name".

The final scene of the commercial was meant to allude to their ongoing divorce, which was public in the New York City tabloids at that point.

But the original ending wasn't working and the script needed to be changed, Lyons and Campbell said.

One of their writing partners came up with an idea to improve the final scene. He suggested having both Trumps go for the last slice of pizza with Ivana saying, "May I have the last slice?" Then, Donald would say, "Ivana, you're only entitled to half."

Lyons and Campbell liked the new idea, and they approached Donald and Ivana about the script change for the final scene. Ivana disliked it, but Donald loved it.

"She goes 'Absolutely not! Oh that is vulgar! Absolutely not!'", Lyons said. "And he goes 'What do you mean? It's really funny. We're doing it.'"

Ivana reiterated that she would not do it, but Lyons remembered that Donald made it clear that it was the only way that the commercial was going to end.

"He just looks at her and he goes 'We're doing it'," Lyons said.

Ivana said she would only do the scene in one take, and they got it done because Trump "knocked it out of the park."

"He was a great actor," Lyons said. "We didn't have to do a second take on anything with him. He just gets it the first time. He knows exactly his persona, and luckily we got it, because she wasn't going to do it again because she didn't like it."

• Sit-ups aren't the best way to get a strong core, according to physicians at Harvard Medical School.
• Not only do they not target all the muscles you need for a six-pack, crunches may also set you up for injury.
• Instead, you should be holding yourself in plank pose. Here's how to do it correctly.

Sit-ups are so 2017.

If you're looking to tone your entire core and work your way to 6-pack abs, the physicians at Harvard Medical School say planks are the one move you should nail. So the next time you get ready to roll out a yoga mat and lie on your back, take the reverse approach and hold yourself on your hands and toes in a pre-push-up position.

Unlike crunches, which target only your abdominal muscles, planks recruit several groups of muscles along your sides, front, and back. And if you want a strong core — especially the kind that would give you 6-pack-like definition across your abs — you need to challenge all of these muscles, researchers write in a Harvard Medical School health report called "Core Exercises."

"Sit-ups or crunches strengthen just a few muscle groups," write the authors of the Harvard Healthbeat newsletter, which summarizes the report's key takeaways. "Through dynamic patterns of movement, a good core workout helps strengthen the entire set of core muscles you use every day."

Why planks are superior for core strength

Although sit-ups are a good basic move to help tone your abdominal muscles, planks are less likely to cause injury and better for building a stronger core.

When you lay down to do a sit-up, your back gets pushed against the floor. When you pull your body up into a crunch, you're also putting strain on a group of muscles called the hip flexors. These muscles run from your thighs to the lumbar vertebrae in your lower back. When they get tight, they can yank on your lower spine, causing pain or discomfort in your lower back.

And just like crunches, planks don't require a single piece of equipment, meaning you can do them virtually anywhere.

How to plank properly

Start out by lying face-down with your legs extended and your elbows bent, directly under your shoulders, with your hands clasped, the folks at Health.com advise. Make sure your feet are hip-width apart while your elbows are shoulder-width apart. Tighten your abs and tuck your toes to elevate your body, keeping your forearms on the ground. Your body should be in a straight line from your head to your heels. To start, hold it for one minute.

As you get stronger, you can gradually build up to maintain the position for longer periods of time. For even more of a challenge, hold yourself on your palms rather than your forearms.

• The super rich have found a new paradise in Florida.
• Located on a man-made island in Aventura, Florida, Privé is a pair of 16-story towers with residences that start at $2.35 million and go up to $8.5 million for penthouse units.
• More than 80% of residences have already sold to both locals and foreigners, most of whom are adding Privé to their already extensive real estate portfolios.

The super rich have found a new paradise in Florida.

Privé, a pair of 16-story towers that opened earlier this year, is situated on an an eight-acre island in Aventura, Florida, that was created during the dredging and establishment of the Intracoastal waterway.

Its 160 luxury residences are selling at starting prices of $2.35 million and up to $8.5 million for penthouse units (set to open later this year). More than 80% have sold since pre-construction on the buildings in 2015.

"For more than half of the buyers, it's a second, third, or fourth home," Greg Freedman, co-founder of BH3, the real estate development firm behind Privé, said. So far, Privé has been popular among snowbirds (northerners who migrate south during the winter), international buyers from Mexico and South America, and full-time Miami residents.

For many buyers, it's a getaway for warmer weather and vacations. And thanks to its location on South Florida's last private undeveloped island situated not far from both Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Privé allows for privacy with proximity to city life.

"The vision was to create a lifestyle for residents that they couldn't get anywhere else," Freedman told Business Insider. "It is singular and can't be duplicated or replicated. It also has more indoor and outdoor square footage allocated to amenities than any other residents-only project in South Florida."

• "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" star Donnie Yen explains why the franchise can't do big box office in China.
• Yen, who is a huge star in China, has similar thoughts to what analysts believe is the reason why "Star Wars" box office falls flat in the Middle Kingdom.

Disney can never seem to get any of its "Star Wars" movies to do well in China, and an actor from one of its movies knows why. 

In a recent interview with JoBlo, Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen, who played Chirrut Îmwe in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," gave his take on why it seems that the Middle Kingdom is the only region in the world that doesn't have "Star Wars" fever, and it matches with what some analysts have posited.

"Chinese audiences didn’t grow up with 'Star Wars' culture so unfortunately it didn’t work," Yen said of the poor "Rogue One" performance there. "Marvel is a lot easier to understand. 'Star Wars,' there’s a whole universe out there. Marvel, from the costumes, to the music, to the idols, to the stars, it's much easier to close the gap between the film itself and the audience."

"Rogue One" earned $1 billion worldwide at the box office, but in China, the second-largest movie market behind the US, the movie only took in $69.4 million in its five-week run.   

But at least that movie had a name in the cast recognizable to audiences in China.

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" did even worse in China. Its five-week run there only took in $42.5 million. However, that movie went on to earn over $1.3 billion worldwide. And forget about "Solo." The standalone Han Solo movie, which made a flat (for "Star Wars" standards) $390.1 million worldwide, only made $16.4 million in China and was pulled after four weeks.

Yen's thoughts mirror what analysts have been telling us for the last year.

"The characters that have become iconic in other countries — in the United States Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo have been elevated to revered cult status — there is no such feeling in China and that has impacted the box office prospects there," comScore box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian told Business Insider after the release of "The Last Jedi."

"The Middle Kingdom treats 'Star Wars' like a second-class cinematic citizen," Jeff Bock, a senior analyst for Exhibitor Relations, said after the release of "Solo."

But Disney doesn't have that problem with its Marvel properties. 

"Avengers: Infinity War" earned over $359.5 million in China to go on and make $2 billion worldwide.

• Protein bars are considered a workout staple because they have a high protein content, which is essential to building muscle mass.
• But they can also be packed with sugar and artificial ingredients. 
• We tested 12 different protein bars available at a local CVS and ranked them based on nutritional content, taste, and cost.

After sampling 12 different protein bars, the only place I don't feel like going is the gym.

Protein bars are designed to be high-energy snacks that contain a large concentration of protein, a macronutrient that helps to build muscle mass and repair wounds or damaged tissues. Some contain around 20 grams of protein in a bar. To put that into context, a large egg has around seven grams of protein in it.

There's a big market for protein bars in the US, and other snack companies are wising up to this. In October 2017, Kellogg's bought the maker of RXBAR protein bars for $600 million in an attempt to cash in on healthier food trends. 

But these "healthy" snacks can also be stuffed with sugar, artificial ingredients, and calories, making them about as healthy as a candy bar. 

We decided we'd had enough of being fooled and headed to our local CVS store to sample all of the protein bar brands on offer. We've put together a ranking based on taste, nutritional content, and price. Find out which bar won, below:

12. Questbar, double chocolate chunk, $2.99

Weight: 60g

Sugar: Less than 1g

Carbs: 24g

Fats: 7g

Review: On first glance, this bar looks great — the packaging seems authoritative and low-key, the kind that makes you trust it instantly. It's very high in protein, low in sugar, and has a decent calorie content. But this is actually a great example of why you shouldn't get suckered in by first impressions, because it does not taste good.

In fact, it has the same consistency as soil.

11. Think Thin, cookies and cream, $2.29

Weight: 60g

Protein: 20g

Calories: 220

Sugar: 0g

Carbs: 25g

Fats: 7g

Review: I'm instantly skeptical when I see it says 0 grams of sugar in bold on the front of the wrapper. My first thought is, if there isn't sugar in it, they're probably replacing it with something much worse.

Sugar is replaced with 20g of sugar alcohols. The offender here is Maltitol – it's 90% as sweet as sugar, but it can claim to be sugar-free despite replicating some of the harmful effects of sugar and causing spikes in blood sugar. 

The bar is high in protein but has a bitter aftertaste.

10. Balance, cookie dough, $1.99

Weight: 50g

Protein: 15g

Calories: 210

Sugar: 17g

Carbs: 22g

Fats: 7g

Review: This bar is stuffed full of artificial ingredients and sugar, which makes it seem like there's no real advantage to eating it over a chocolate bar. Its redeeming feature is that the protein content is pretty high, and it's affordably priced. 

• MoviePass owner Helios and Matheson Analytics was trading below $0.07 on Friday, an all-time low for the company.
• Last Wednesday it was at $14 following a 1-for-250 reverse stock split.
• A lot has happened since then.

Though MoviePass and its parent company, Helios and Matheson Analytics (HMNY), claim everything is fine, the market begs to differ.

On Friday, stock for HMNY was trading below $0.07, an all-time low for the company that acquired the movie-theater subscription service last August. 

The crash by the HMNY stock follows an awful week and a half for the company. In late July, HMNY CEO Ted Farnsworth expressed optimism to Business Insider that the stock price would stabilize after a reverse split. That didn't happen. The 1-for-250 reverse stock split got the stock from $0.09 to around $14 last Wednesday. But it has been falling since. 

With the stock trading above a dollar last week, it only had to stay at $1 or above for 10 days (and have a market cap of at least $50 million) to stave off the possibility of being delisted from the Nasdaq in mid-December. But HMNY was below a dollar days later as a string of misfortune hit MoviePass.

By the end of last week, the app temporarily shut down, leading to HMNY having to borrow $5 million cash to get it back up and running. Customers also complained that the biggest movie of the weekend, "Mission: Impossible - Fallout," was not available on the app and that there was across-the-board surge pricing for most of the screening times for available movies.

Following another service interruption to the app over the weekend, this Monday MoviePass CEO, Mitch Lowe, announced in an all-hands meeting that the company was drastically changing how subscribers could use the app as no major blockbusters would be available on the service going forward. On Tuesday, the company revealed that it would be changing its monthly subscription price from $9.95 a month to $14.95.

Throughout, MoviePass has tried to put on a brave face. On Thursday it released a press release with the header "We're Still Standing," boasting how important it had been to this year's impressive domestic box office (which is up around 8% from last year). 

But you only have to glance at what Wall Street is saying Friday to realize the situation is dire.

• Work clothes have changed a lot over the years.
• Style in general has become less formal since the 1950s.
• Take a look below at how office workers have dressed across the decades.

Why don't people dress up for work anymore?

It's a question that's no doubt popped into the minds of many a workplace fashionista — not to mention anyone French cuffs-deep into a Mad Men binge.

The short answer is... it's complicated. Even today, degrees of sartorial formality tend to vary between industries, companies, and roles. And workplace styles can change day-to-day on an individual basis, too. Even if you usually don a business casual outfit, chances are, you'll probably dress up for your career-making pitch to the boardroom.

Basically, fashion's an ever-evolving, context-specific, and highly-personal thing.

But what accounts for the fact that many industries and companies have been slouching toward casualness since the 1970s?

To find out how — and why — workplace dress has transformed in this century, let's take a look back through time.

• I bought a one-way ticket to Switzerland to work as a goat-sitter after my grandmother’s death.
• Soon, I learned that sometimes the most spontaneous decisions we make turn out to be the best ones.
• As a result of that one-way ticket, I’ve been traveling the world as a digital nomad for more than 18 months.

In January 2017, I moved to Switzerland for a goat. Actually, two goats. My best friend, my grandma, had died a few months prior, and I needed to get away from big-city life — there were countless reminders of her at every turn.

When I saw a Facebook post about a woman needing a goat-sitter in the middle of the Swiss Alps, nothing but mountains and silence around, I was in. She wanted a "digital nomad," so that the person could work remotely between goat responsibilities. In exchange, she'd offer free housing. Since I was already a remote writer, it was perfect.

When my grandma's heart stopped beating in 2016, it felt like mine did, too; I figured the goats would be the perfect antidote to my grief. In January 2017, I bought a one-way ticket to Switzerland, via Iceland — little did I know that it would change my life.  

As promised, the goat-sitting house was surrounded by the Swiss Alps and looked like a farmhouse version of a Barbie Dreamhouse. The snow-capped mountains were so beautiful, they looked like someone had drawn them into the flat landscape.

However, looks can be deceiving; it turned out that goat-sitting wasn’t as serene as advertised. The farmhouse was unheated and I lived in the attic — I felt like Cinderella. I spent a lot of time shoveling (the goats didn't like snow, and there was a lot of it). As a result,my carpal tunnel became so bad that I could barely type, let alone chop firewood — another thing I needed to do for work.

It also seemed that the goats needed a full-time nanny more than a sitter, and my main focus had to be my remote writing jobs. Plus, one goat loved ramming his horns into my thighs, leaving me with purple bruises as souvenirs.

I was supposed to keep the job for two or three months, but 12 days later, I retired from goat-sitting. However, I discovered one important thing: I didn’t need to goat-sit to sustain my digital nomad life. Instead, I decided to explore more cities in Switzerland, and then change countries every month or so. Along the way, I learned several lessons, including the following:

It's OK if plans change

Initially, I thought I'd return to LA after the goats, but I realized it was OK if my plans changed. Since my jobs were remote, I had the freedom to explore new cities, going to castles and churches by day and working in cafés and coworking spaces by night. Soon, I also starteda travel blog, Nomadic Natalia, about being a digital nomad.

I learned that getting out of my comfort zone is critical to growing as a person

The more I traveled and lived as a digital nomad, the more I did things out of my comfort zone, which helped me grow as a person. In Dubrovnik, Croatia, I went sea kayaking at sunset with a dozen other people, all strangers to me. It was windy and the water was choppy, and all kayak tours were cancelled — except for mine.

I looked at the rough waves and told my guide I'd go another day. "No," he said. "I have faith that you can brave the choppy water. You just have to get from one side to the other." He was right; the water was choppy, but the challenge of kayaking through it made the sunset at the end all the more worthwhile.

I learned that the best part of a new experience is the people

The best thing about moving a lot is all the different people you meet — they can make (or break) an experience. In Venice, Italy, I stayed in a convent(with a curfew!) right on the canals, befriended my nun housemates, and learned to live in silence.

On the island of Murano, Italy, I was reminded of the passion people put into their work when a jewelry designer taught me how to melt glass, and I ended up leaving his shop with a Murano glass flower necklace we'd both made.

In Bologna, Italy, I attended an impromptu tortellini-making class with a handful of female chefs who spoke no English, and I learned that cooking and camaraderie require no verbal communication.

Conor McGregor is, like his combat sports nickname suggests, "Notorious."

The UFC fighter is as famous for his concussive striking power as he is for his memorable microphone skills, his flambouyant dress sense, and his taste for a night on the town. He plays hard, but he trains even harder. McGregor won titles in Cage Warriors, transitioned into premier cage-fighting firm UFC, and continued to trounce his opponents.

McGregor has not fought in UFC since 2016, but his fame grew so quickly he was regarded as a good enough opponent for Floyd Mayweather's retirement bout — a fight McGregor lost, albeit valiently, in the 10th round last year.

McGregor is set to return to the UFC octagon this year, potentially against Russian foe Khabib Nurmagomedov. But to maintain his sporting dominance, he has to eat right. So what sort of food does a former two-weight UFC world-champion fighter eat?

The landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade and subsequent rulings upholding it have granted Americans the right to abortion since 1973, but the reality of that right varies dramatically from state to state.

Since Roe became the law of the land, individual states have found dozens of ways to make it as difficult as possible for patients to actually access the procedure.

From strict regulations on clinics and bans on abortion after a certain number of weeks, to requiring patients to receive counseling and undergo waiting periods, these laws have tested the limits of Roe — with some ending up in federal court.

If President Donald Trump's nominee Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed, the Supreme Court will have a solidly conservative majority, causing many abortion rights advocates to fear that such a makeup would overturn Roe altogether.

The more likely scenario, according to legal experts, is for the high court to chip away at abortion rights by ruling in favor of the state-level restrictions that reach their .

These seven charts and maps illustrate what abortion access in America actually looks like today, and what could happen if Roe fell.

Abortion clinics per state, 2014

In the decades since Roe, individual states have enacted a slew of restrictions to make it as difficult as possible for abortion clinics to operate.

Targeted Restrictions on Abortion Providers, or TRAP laws, impose very specific regulations on clinics. Oftentimes, these restrictions are so expensive that the costs of implementing them cause many clinics to close down altogether.

These include requirements on the width of corridors, the size and equipment of procedure rooms, and mandating that clinics have admission privileges at local hospitals, even though less than 0.5% of abortions result in complications.

Research has tracked the number of abortion clinics dropping after states have passed TRAP laws. Five states now have just one remaining abortion clinic.

Percentage of counties without a known clinic, 2014

The Supreme Court struck down one of the most extreme TRAP laws, Texas' HB2, in a 5-3 vote in 2016. But despite that, over 20 states still have such laws on their books.

A closer look at the county level shows stark disparities in abortion access across the country. There are now 16 states where 95% of counties do not have an abortion clinic.

By causing clinics to close down, TRAP laws have the consequence of making patients further and further to get to a clinic, especially in states that require patients to make multiple trips to the clinic and undergo a 24-to-72 hour "waiting periods."

According to a 2017 study from the Guttmacher Institute, one in 5 American women have to travel at least 43 miles to reach their closest abortion provider. Between 2011 and 2014, the distance required to reach a clinic increased in seven states.

Researchers found notable increases in distance to a clinic in Missouri and Texas, states that had introduced TRAP laws.

"Increased travel distance means increased costs for transport, overnight stay, lost wages from time off work, and childcare," wrote Dr. Ushma Upadhyay, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California.

She continued: "For a woman who is economically disadvantaged, having to travel a long distance could put an abortion out of reach, leading her to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term."

• Facebook employees are obsessed with a family of foxes that lives on their campus and hangs out on their roof.
• Business Insider understands that employees have an internal channel where they share photos of the foxes.
• Social media is also awash with adorable photos of the furry critters.

SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook employees are sharing their shiny new headquarters with some four-legged friends: Foxes!

For the past five years, a family of foxes have made regular appearances at the Menlo Park headquarters of the Californian social networking company, where they have captivated the thousands of employees working there.

Many of Facebook's employees have moved into Building 20 and Building 21 over the last few years — new offices next to their "classic" campus designed by famed architect Frank Gehry, with a vast rooftop park on top. And the foxes have moved over alongside them, where they are regularly spotted hanging out and chillaxing on the roof.

Business Insider understands that Facebook employees have created an internal group dedicated to the furry critters on Workplace, their in-house communications platform, where employees post about recent sightings of the foxes.

Pictures of the foxes are also shared frequently on Instagram and elsewhere on social media, under the hashtag #FacebookFox. 

"I met the infamous #facebookfox this morning!" one Instagram user wrote. "My first sighting of the Facebook fox! Happy Friday!" said another.

Facebook's foxes first attracted attention when the family popped up back in 2013, but five years later the community is still going strong. Employees have previously been given presentations on the proper behavior around the animals to keep them wild (don't feed them, don't pet them), and Facebook's campus was designated as a wildlife habitat due to their presence.

It's not clear how many foxes frequent Facebook's premises. One Instagram user wrote that there are seven that visit the roof of their building, but Business Insider couldn't verify this, and a Facebook spokesperson declined to comment.

The foxes have even managed to sneak their way into the Facebook app itself — in the form of a some cutesy cartoon stickers for Messenger.

There's also a public Facebook page that was set up by an employee back when the sightings started, "FB Fox." It now has more than 100,000 likes and is still going strong, with photos of the foxes posted every few weeks. 

It bills itself as "a page to appreciate the fantastic FB Foxes. Share your celebrity sightings here! Please honor the foxes. No chasing or feeding--just mutual respect."

• Most so-called 'superfoods' are a gimmick.
• Scientists and nutritionists came up with a list of the real healthiest foods out there.
• Here are the top 25 healthy foods you should add to your diet, according to America's leading public health institute.

Super, shluper. The term "superfood" doesn't actually mean anything, and most of the foods hiding behind such a label aren't all that good for you. But there are dozens of real, nourishing foods that you should be eating more of right now.

Thanks to some of the scientists at America's foremost public health institution, you don't have to search too hard to find them. The folks at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranked the following items in order of how much nutrition they pack per calorie. Not only do studies suggest that people who eat more of these foods tend to be thinner and live longer than those who rarely or never eat them, they are also linked with a reduced risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes. So start adding them to your diet.

• During a commercial shoot for Pizza Hut's stuffed-crust pizza in 1995, then-businessman Donald Trump tried to micromanage the production, two ad writers say.
• Trump also gave suggestions on improving the lighting because he did not think it made his then-wife Ivana Trump look good.
• To hear the full story, subscribe to Business Insider's new podcast, "Household Name".

During a commercial shoot for Pizza Hut's stuffed-crust pizza in 1995, then-businessman and New York City real estate mogul Donald Trump tried to micromanage the production — even suggesting which takes to use and how the lighting should look.

That's according to Michael Campbell and Janet Lyons, two of the ad writers on the commercial, who told the story on Business Insider's new podcast, "Household Name". In the legendary 30-second spot, Donald and his then-wife, Ivana, eat the pizza "the wrong way", crust-first.

Campbell said the future president arrived to the shoot in style.

"A big limousine rolls up," Campbell said. "He comes out and he's wearing his tuxedo. He's dressed for the part."

Trump wanted to start right away. Lyons said Ivana took two hours to get ready for the commercial shoot, and Trump got mad.

As they started shooting, Trump began to micromanage.

"He would come over in-between takes and he would say 'Could you run it back? I want to see the film'," Lyons said. "And then he'd say, 'I want you to take that. I want you to use that take. OK I want you to use this opening. OK I think that's the better of this.'"

Lyons said she and Campbell had to inform Trump that it was not his place to tell them how to do their jobs.

"And we turn to him and say 'Donald, you're not cutting this commercial. Like we're gonna cut the commercial. We're making the commercial. You're just being paid to be in the commercial'," Lyons said. "And he was like 'OK. When this is over, you'll see that I was right about every single take that I just told you to pick. You'll see, I was right.'"

Lyons could not believe what Trump was trying to do on the set.

Listen to the whole story here: 

"I just thought, 'This guy is too much'," Lyons said. "We had never met anyone like him before. Everything about him was so off the charts."

Trump even got involved in the lightning of the commercial, Campbell said, because he thought it didn't make Ivana look good.

"He was so critical because he didn't want anything associated with him to look bad," Campbell said.

The commercial aired amid the Trump's very public divorce in the New York City tabloids. The ending even changed to allude to their impending split.

• A common dating mistake is telling someone you're looking for a serious commitment — as soon as you meet them.
• That's according to matchmaker Claudia Duran.
• Duran said you should take time to get to know the person and see if there's any chemistry before deciding they're The One.

If you're coming to see Claudia Duran, you're probably serious about love.

Duran is a Miami-based matchmaker with dating service Elite Connections, and she charges $15,000 for a six-month membership.

But some of Duran's clients are so intent on finding a relationship that they can come off as a little… overeager. As soon as they meet a potential partner, they'll tell the person: "I'm looking for a serious commitment."

This, Duran said, is a surefire way to sabotage any chance you had to develop a relationship with that person.

"To have someone state that upfront is a big turnoff," she said. It communicates to your date, "I'm putting pressure on you to be that person. Hurry up and let me know if that's what you want."

Not only are you rushing them into making a decision, Duran said, but you're ignoring the very real possibility that you two aren't a match. "I'm not even looking to see if you are a right fit for me organically and authentically," Duran said.

That's not to say you shouldn't be honest. As Coffee Meets Bagel cofounder and co-CEO Dawoon Kang previously told Business Insider, you shouldn't be afraid to state the kind of relationship you're looking for — i.e. long-term or a hookup — on your dating profile.

Kang said too many people hesitate to say they're looking for something serious in their bio. But, she added, "you really want to not waste time attracting the wrong people."

Duran agreed. "That's a stage where people are filtering through a mass," she said of online dating. "You really want to be able to sort through and say who's looking to play and who's looking for a serious commitment."

But once you meet someone who's interested in stability, "that's a different dynamic," Duran said. "Then it becomes about: Are you the right person for me? Do we like each other? Are there common interests? Is there chemistry?"

• Meghan Markle became an instant fashion icon after her engagement to Prince Harry. 
• Her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, has been hugely influential in shaping fashion over the past decade.
• The two have very different styles. As the royal wedding has now come and gone — and with Meghan Markle turning 37 — we took a look at how they match up.

Meghan Markle is celebrating her first birthday as Duchess of Sussex on Saturday. 

Since news broke that Markle was dating Prince Harry, her profile skyrocketed, and she became an international fashion icon. It's a role that only one other woman in recent memory can directly identify with — her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. 

It's rare for the royals to speak their minds in public. That goes double for Middleton and Markle. As women in the spotlight, anything they do can spark backlash. As a result, fashion can provide a way for them to express themselves.

As Markle prepared to marry Harry, we found ourselves wondering how she would compare to Middleton when it comes to fashion. And, with the wedding in the rearview mirror, our fascination with figuring out how Markle will both compare and differentiate herself has only grown.

Here's how Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, measures up to Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge:

Let's start with a Markle specialty: movie premieres. As an actress, she has plenty of experience dressing for the red carpet.

It's a pretty simple look — a little black dress with strappy heels. Cute, but nothing groundbreaking.

As a duchess, Middleton also attends plenty of premieres. Here she is in 2012, at the premiere of "War Horse."

• Big banks have begun courting millennials from wealthy families in an effort to woo them as future clients, Bloomberg reports.
• At a recent summer camp sponsored by Swiss banking conglomerate UBS Group, a group of wealthy millennials enjoyed entrepreneurial workshops, luxurious food and drink, and niche networking opportunities.

At a three-day event sponsored by Swiss banking conglomerate UBS Group, a number of wealthy millennials reportedly lugged a 40-pound keg of water for a mile-long journey. The trip's goal? To get a better understanding of the grueling excursions many women in impoverished communities regularly make to get water.

Afterwards, Bloomberg reports, the group was rewarded with cocktails at a swanky townhouse, where it was later announced that UBS would donate $12,000 to build a well for a community in the name of its moneyed guests.

These "workshops," reports Bloomberg, have become a trend among big banks, which have begun to offer luxurious, multi-day experiences to affluent young people in an effort to woo them as future clients.

At this particular UBS summer retreat, which was hosted at The Four Seasons in New York, the barrier to entry was high: Invitees all had a reported minimum of $10 million in their families' bank accounts. 

Familiarizing their affluent guests with UBS was, seemingly, just one part of the bank's mission: At UBS's summer camp, guests enjoyed a number of entrepreneurial-themed lessons including demonstrations on "impact philanthropy," like the water-lugging example above. Other camp perks reportedly included niche networking opportunities and wine tastings led by Jon Bon Jovi's son.

NOW WATCH: What would happen if America's Internet went down

• Alexander Hamilton was the first Treasury Secretary of the US.
• He also spearheaded promoting the US Constitution and founded the national's financial system, the US Coast Guard, and The New York Post.
• Take a look at some of the habits and strategies that helped Hamilton remain productive throughout his career.

Alexander Hamilton was a pretty busy guy.

Heck, the whole song "Non-Stop" in Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash Broadway hit "Hamilton" is dedicated to the man's meteoric rise from orphaned Nevis immigrant to aide-de-camp to George Washington to full-fledged Founding Father.

Hamilton had a tremendous influence on the development of the United States. Not only was he the first Treasury Secretary of the young country, he was also responsible for founding our financial system and ensuring the adoption of the US Constitution.

In his spare time, Hamilton kicked off the US Coast Guard, The New York Post, and the New York Manumission Society, which fought for the abolition of slavery in New York.

Here's a breakdown of what a day in the life of Alexander Hamilton might have looked like:

In a 1800 letter to his then-18-year-old son Philip — who would die in a duel three years before the famous Hamilton-Burr showdown of 1804— Hamilton extolled the benefits of rising early.

He advised Philip to wake up no later than 6 a.m. from April to October, and no later than 7 a.m. for the rest of year. Hamilton added that his son would "deserve commendation" if he deigned to rise earlier.

Given Hamilton's own intense work ethic, it's not a stretch to imagine that he himself also woke up relatively early.
