Mrs. Trump versus Mrs. Trump for the First Lady battle of the century
Ivana Trump sparked a catfight Monday with a declaration that kicked Melania Trump to the curb. “I have the direct number to White House,” Ivana bragged in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America”.
“But I’m not really going to call him there because Melania is there, and I don’t want to cause any kind of jealousy or something like that, because I’m basically first Trump wife, OK? I’m first lady, OK?”
Reality TV show in the making, one that could rival the Kardashian Klan. In this file photo, President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump and their son Barron Trump, walk across the South Lawn of the White House.
Ivana?
“He asked me should I tweet? Should I not tweet? I said to tweet?,” she said. Wouldn’t you tweet, Tweet heart? Okay, maybe not quite ready for reality television.
Every disillusioned Democrat still living in their post-election funk offered a similar response. Is this really happening?
Of course, Melania Trump’s camp fired back after being dissed.
Melania Trump’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham delivered this statement to CNN.
“Mrs. Trump has made the White House a home for Barron and the President. She loves living in Washington, DC, and is honored by her role as first lady of the United States. She plans to use her title and role to help children, not sell books,” Grisham said, referencing Ivana Trump’s released memoir “Raising Trump.”
“There is clearly no substance to this statement from an ex, this
is unfortunately only attentionseeking and self-serving noise.”
President Donald Trump may tender his resignation for a television show or WWE extravaganza featuring Ivana and Melania decked out in Louis Vuitton and Michael Kors.
Or, perhaps a hot selection from the Pretty Kitty line.
Trump no doubt sees dollar signs if he could market the real First Lady flinging herself from the top rope onto the other real First Lady.
Come on, Donald. You never wanted to be president anyway.
Here’s your major chance for an exit then reentry as the greatest promoter of all time.
Cha-Ching!
