Trump got his family’s support when he decided to run for the highest office. The POTUS’ ex-wife Ivana was among his supporters. In fact, at one point, she praised the businessman-turned-politician and dissed the former U.S. president before Trump.
“He’s no politician. He’s a businessman. He knows how to talk. He can give an hour speech without notes . . . He’s blunt,” Ivana told New York Post of her then-husband.
She added that Trump would surround himself with “fantastic advisers like Carl Icahn.” She also made a comparison on how Trump and Obama make decisions.
“And he’d make a decision! Obama cannot make a decision if his life depends on it. It’s ridiculous,” she said.
However, there is one thing that Ivana wanted Trump to improve on. She believed that the POTUS needed to work on his temper and be more calm.
“But Donald cannot be calm. He’s very outspoken. He just says it as it is,” Ivana said.
Trump has been attacked by netizens for his controversial posts on social media. Many consider him a bully on Twitter especially when he attacked Greta Thunberg after she was named by Time Magazine as “Person of the Year” Trump told the 16-year-old activist to work on her anger management problem.
Many were not happy with Trump’s attack to Thunberg. Several slammed the POTUS and his wife Melania was dragged into the issue. The FLOTUS’ Be Best initiative is an advocate of anti-cyberbullying. Many called on the first lady to defend Thunberg from her husband, but she chose to keep her silence. Thus, Melania also faced the wrath of the Twitter users who questioned and mocked her Be Best campaign.
In related news, Ivana said that she could never forgive Marla Maples for breaking her marriage with Trump. Ivana is the POTUS’ first wife and according to reports, her marital relationship with Trump hit the rock bottom after he started an affair with Maples.
“[Marla] asked to apologize to me in the Daily Mail in London. They asked if I accepted the apology and I said no. Why should I? She broke my marriage!” Ivana said.
