Ivana Trump causes outrage after blaming immigrants for raping American women

This grotesque family: stuff of nightmares.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ivana-trump-immigrants-rape-women-us-loose-women-b439259.html

Donald Trump’s ex-wife has caused outrage after suggesting that US immigrants" don’t get jobs" and “steal and rape women” during an interview on Loose Women. The 71-year-old, who was married to Donald Trump for 15 years, appeared as a guest on the ITV show where she praised her ex-husband’s immigration policies.

“He's achieved so much, especially with immigration,” Ms Trump, who grew up in Czechoslovakia before moving to Canada, said. “I am immigrant, but they have to come to the country legally, they have to get a job, they have to pay taxes like the rest of Americans," she added

The president’s ex-wife went on to lash out at immigrants who “don't dress American” and concluded the controversial rant by saying they “rape women”. “And they don't get a job and they steal and they rape the women. That's not our idea,” she said.

Many social media users were quick to criticse the former model, calling the interview a “car crash”.

She's been quiet for nearly four years, no opinions, no statements.

Now out of the blue, she's his booster. After he raped her. After he publicly humiliated her several times with his mistress, Marla Maples. After their public divorce. She owes him nothing.

So what's in it for her? I don't believe it's the proverbial 15 minutes of non-obscurity. There's money involved.
