Ivana Trump, Ex-Wife Of Former President Trump, Dies At Age 73

Source: ABC News

Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of former President Donald Trump, has died at age 73, the family told ABC News.

"Our mother was an incredible woman -- a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend," the Trump family said in a statement.

"Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination," the family said. "She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren."

Ivana Trump was Donald Trump's first wife. They had three children together: Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump.

I misread that title initially and was over-flowing with joy for a split second thinking it was just "...former President Donald Trump, dies at age 7...". Then I re-read it and realized my error.

Condolences to the family as it is always difficult to lose a parent, but my feelings for the Trumps run about as deep as their honesty and integrity in all of their public and private dealings.

Someday (hopefully soon) I'll get that blessed and anticipated headline "Trump found dead on toilet". Soon.

I wouldn't call her a "radiant beauty". Also, I didn't know she was a world class athlete.

I don't think she'll be going to hell though, because she was married to him and that was hell enough for anyone.

Those of you spewing the "Falling down stairs just gonna happen, a-yup, uh-huh" bullshit: Have you been unconscious for the past half-a-dozen years? Have you paid the least bit of attention to the measures trump has been willing to employ, just for the sake of saving his own ass? And those are just the well-publicized, out-in-the-open measures, the ones that have seen the light of day---no telling what is still being kept secret.

Bare minimum request: Find somebody who's even slightly more worthy of your wide-eyed naivete',,,,
