Ivana Trump Says We Need Legal Immigrants: “Who’s Going to Vacuum Our Living Rooms?”
Emily Jane Fox
The Donald’s ex-wife takes a break from her three boyfriends to advise his campaign.
Over the last 10 months, Donald Trump has convinced a great number of Americans that he is fit to be commander-in-chief. How that happened, and what those commandments would be is less certain, since his position on most major issues is either uninformed or fleeting, apart from the size of the wall he would build to keep out Mexican immigrants (unrelentingly, it would be huge).
Perhaps most unlikely of all the voters Trump has managed to woo is his ex-wife Ivana. Now, it is not uncommon for former spouses to share a less-than-rosy view of one another. That is to say, it would hardly raise an eyebrow if an ex-wife did not run to the presses singing her husband’s praises. That would be acutely understandable for this particular ex-wife, a former model whom Trump famously cheated on with former beauty queen, Marla Maples, ending their marriage.
But Ivana is a different breed. The 67-year-old, who settled her divorce from Donald for a reported $14 million cash settlement, an apartment at Trump Plaza, the family’s 45-room Connecticut compound, and access to Mar-a-Lago each March, invited the New York Post into her seven-floor Upper East Side townhouse to share just how much she supports her former husband in his bid for the White House. So much so that she even advises him on the campaign trail.
“We speak before and after the appearances and he asks me what I thought,” she told the Post, and she does advise him to “be more calm.”
On the issues, she thinks her former husband is spot-on, particularly when it comes to immigration—something the Czechoslovakia-born Ivana knows a thing or two about. “As long as you come here legally and get a proper job . . . we need immigrants,” she said in the interview. “Who’s going to vacuum our living rooms and clean up after us? Americans don’t like to do that.”
Ivana certainly doesn’t. But she spent many years busying herself with other things—raising three children, serving as the vice president of interior design within the Trump Organization for a time and, later, as president of the Atlantic City Castle casino resort and the Plaza hotel. After a long day of helicoptering back and forth from her job alongside the Jersey boardwalk, the two would unwind by watching Dynasty andDallas, like the true 80s power couple they were.

Ivana sees her ascendance within her ex-husband’s business as proof that Donald is not the misogynist the media makes him out to be, though the platitude she used to describe his acceptance of powerful women feels in keeping with the broader narrative. “When people ask, I say that behind every successful woman is a man in shock.”
Ivana, who said Donald’s current wife, Melania, will “be O.K.” as First Lady, said she wishes the couple all the best. The grandmother to eight little ones, who refer to her kindly as “Glam-ma” and “Ivana-ma,” has enough keeping her busy in her own love life than to waste energy thinking about that of her ex. She toggles between three boyfriends, and homes in New York, London, and St. Tropez, according to the Post. “If you are a married woman, you usually follow what the man wants to do. I can do whatever what I want,” she said. “I don’t need [money]. I prefer to be a babysitter than a nursemaid. I don’t want to worry about bad knees and bad back.”
Talk about “having it all.” That is a Trump platform worth voting for.
