Donald Trump's first wife passed away on Thursday. She was older than 70.
After their public 1992 divorce, she was not in the spotlight.
She thought about Trump as a husband, father, and politician.
Ivana Trump was mostly out of the public eye when her ex- husband became president.
Her family announced her death on Thursday.
Donald Trump said that she was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman.
Both as a husband and father to their three children, Donald Trump had shared candid thoughts with the former president's ex- wife.
She wrote a book about her 14-year marriage to Trump and their three children.
Ivana Trump said she had seen Donald Trump's political career before he became president.
"Maybe five years before our divorce, Reagan or someone brought him a letter and said, 'You should run for president,'" she said.
He was considering it. There was a scandal, a divorce, and American women hated him.
Their divorce in 1992 followed Trump's affair with a young woman.
He wouldn't go into politics at that point. He was always thinking about it.
Ivana said she was offered an ambassadorship in the Czech Republic by Trump, but she denied it.
In an interview with The Post, Ivana Trump said that she and her husband spoke before and after their appearances. She told him to be more calm but he couldn't. He's not afraid to speak his mind. He doesn't say anything different than the way it is.
He's not a political person. She said that he was a businessman. He knows how to say something. He is capable of giving an hour speech. He's not nice.
Ivana was an ardent supporter of Trump's immigration policies.
We need immigrants if you come here legally. Who is going to clean up after us in our homes? She said Americans don't like to do that.
She hasn't always supported his politics.
In an interview with Page Six before Trump's failed run for re-election in 2020, Ivana suggested that he should just go and play golf.
According to The New York Daily News, the two split in 1992 after she accused Trump of raping her. She said she was "violated" by him but didn't mean it in a criminal way.
She said in court documents that Trump was cruel and inhuman.
Twenty-five years later, Ivana wrote a memoir.
Ivana said that she believed the credit for raising such great kids belonged to her. I had sole custody of our children after our divorce and I was in charge of raising them.
She made the decisions about their education, activities, travel, and child care. I told my ex- husband to "Here is the finished product" when they finished college. It is your turn now.
Donald Trump Jr. and Eric were both employed by the Trump Organization. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric are unofficially advisers to their father.
Ivana Trump said in an interview with Page Six that she would prefer it if her children weren't involved in politics and that she was thankful that her husband was in the White House.
