Trump is twice divorced. What that say about him?
Ivana wanted to not only be a SOCIALITE, but by the time their marriage crumbled completely, she wanted to be the one who wore the pants in the family and run a lot of his business deals. He was also a workaholic (he still is ) and a homebody, which Ivana wasn't crazy about. So ended that marriage....which had been "over" for quite a while by the time that they divorced. OTOH, they did remain "friends" and he played a BIG role in the raising of their now adult children.
Ivana was on board with his running for president, from the beginning and immediately began working her "set" to support his candidacy.
I really don't know what the poop is re Marla Maples, but my guess is that she was merely something on the rebound and so that really didn't last very long at all.
Melania seems to be much more his speed. She wants to be a GOOD MOTHER first and yet, they are on "equal" footing, which is great. He lets her be her, she lets him be him ( I'm quoting her ) and speaking from exerpience....that is what makes a marriage work.
