Trump offered Ivana Czech ambassador role

IVANA TRUMP, the ex-wife of the US president, was offered the chance to become ambassador to the Czech Republic but turned it down in order to protect her globetrotting “perfect life”.

Donald Trump’s first wife was raised in communist Czechoslovakia and married the property mogul in 1977. “I was just offered to be the American ambassador to Czech Republic – and Donald told me, ‘Ivana, if you want it, I give it to you’,” Mrs Trump, 68, said in a CBS interview to be broadcast tomorrow.

However, she said she valued her freedom too much to accept.

“OK, why would I say bye-bye to Miami in the winter, bye-bye to Sainttropez in the summer and bye-bye to spring and fall in New York? I have a perfect life,” she said.

The pair divorced in 1992 but the mother of Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric said she still spoke regularly to her exhusband and had advised him Twitter was the perfect way of preventing the media from twisting his words.

Her memoir, Raising Trump, out next week, details the couple’s divorce.
