Ivana Trump: I Urge Donald to Tweet More
Oct. 05, 2017
Ivana Trump reveals that she speaks with President Trump “maybe once a week” and advises him on his Twitter habit. “He asks me, ‘Should I tweet? Should I not tweet?’” she explained. “I said, ‘I think you should tweet.’”

Announcing Ivana’s death, Trump wrote, “She was a wonderful, beautiful and amazing woman who led a great and inspirational life.” You can imagine him shaking his head and murmuring, “Helluva broad”, and you can only agree.
Ivana, the most fabulous first lady they never had
Gritty, witty and brilliantly trashy, she was the brains behind the Donald
Graydon Carter was a founding editor of Spy magazine. '''Spy"' magazine ran from 1986 to 1998, and was obsessed with Donald Trump. In May 1989, Spy’s cover star was Ivana Trump, Donald’s first wife. Alongside a close-up of her heavily made-up face, the cover line read: “Ivanarama! An investigative tribute to the most superspecial Trump of all”.
Inside were ten pages of unflattering profile, the gist of which was that Ivana was a) a piece of work and b) not any of the things Donald Trump claimed she was. So, not an Olympic skier but merely a good one; not a top model but someone who’d occasionally modelled fur coats in Canada; and not a certified interior designer (Ivana was at the time responsible for the décor of Trump’s commercial properties) but merely someone with a genius for grotesque ostentation.
In an interview with Good Morning America in 2017, Ivana, who was promoting her memoir, Raising Trump, said, “Melania [Trump’s third wife] is there and I don’t want to cause any kind of jealousy or anything like that because I’m the first Trump wife. I’m the first lady, OK?” Melania’s office, sounding very much like Melania, put out a statement that said: “Unfortunately only attention-seeking and self-serving noise.”
