https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/07/14/ivana-trump-email-donate/

Following the death of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s ex-wife Ivana on July 14, 2022, a screenshot of an email message from Trump was widely shared on Twitter. The email appeared to have a “Donate to Save America” button under Trump’s statement about her passing.

The screenshot of the email received a surge of shares after NBC News journalist Andrea Mitchell tweeted the image with the comment, “Fundraising off this.”

[...]

The statement in the email about Ivana’s death came from Trump’s Truth Social account. No such donation or fundraising button appeared in the Truth Social post.

It’s unclear if the donate button for fundraising was part of a standard footer that is regularly placed at the bottom of such emails. We reached out to the PAC for more information and will update this story if we receive a response.

Whenever he needs a stiffy, he pulls the hair out of his night stand drawer. It's no longer blonde... it never was.

got her hair pulled by tRump because his hair plugs, from a doc that she recommended, didn't work out and caused him a lot of pain? Isn't that what she alleged in the divorce? There was no love lost there.

Well, if they subpoena one of these creatures, maybe they will break.

I have nothing to hate on her for. She divorced the bastard. After that, she had no control.

I remember reading shortly after the divorce that when Ivana wanted to try to start a beauty business, she discovered that Trump had already trademarked her name without her knowledge.

We find a person monetizing the death of a spouse.

She's stated they spoke at least once a week and she often "advised"him.

And here, I ( Mr. Naive) thought he'd already gone lower than anyone could. Just proves how wrong and short sighted one can be.
