Me too. Just like the other day when it told me Boris resigned hours before he actually did...this one had a real story attached to it.  I remember seeing pics of her in the past year or two and she didn't look very well.

Ivana Trump, President Donald Trump’s first wife and the mother of his three oldest children, has died, according to her family. She was 73.

In a statement, her family called Trump “an incredible woman—a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend.”

“Ivana Trump was a survivor,” they went on. “She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children & 10 grandchildren.”

Married from 1977 until their separation in 1992, Donald and Ivana Trump shared three children: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.

Ivana’s most recent ex-husband, Rossano Rubicondi, died last year. She told People at the time that she was “devastated” by the Italian actor’s passing.

Ivana and Donald’s 1990s divorce battle was the stuff of tabloid dreams, with the two sides warring through gossip columns at the New York City newspapers. In her 2017 book Raising Trump, Ivana revealed how she found out Donald was cheating on her.

“This young blonde woman approached me out of the blue and said ‘I’m Marla and I love your husband. Do you?’” she wrote. “I said ‘Get lost. I love my husband.’ It was unladylike but I was in shock.”

The former president took to Truth Social on Thursday to announce the news of his ex-wife’s death. “I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City,” he said. “She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life.”

Ivana never forgave Marla Maples—who she called “the showgirl”—for sleeping with and then marrying her ex, in 1993.

“I’m not saying that if it weren't for the showgirl, Donald and I would still be together or that my life since our divorce hasn't been a wonderful adventure of love, travel, success, and laughter. I've had a fabulous life,” she wrote in the memoir. “But that woman knowingly entered into a relationship with my husband, the father of three small children. She actively participated in humiliating me in the media and indirectly put my kids at risk for months. I went through hell, and then I was expected to be okay with her being around my children? We all have deep scars from that period of our lives, in part due to her actions. The fact that the kids and I came through the entire ordeal stronger is irrelevant.”

I got the BBC alert too!

I just saw somewhere else that it said she had a cardiac arrest.

[HWBL]

"a radiant beauty", uh no, not before nor after plastic surgery. But yeah, she looked bad and much older than her age in recent years. Survived by her mother! 

[MsDark]

Wait a minute...survived by...her mother??

Do we have a pic of this lady?

I don't know that I'd ever call her a raving beauty.  But she was definitely a much more attractive woman before she started fucking with her face.  Probably due to being (or becoming) insecure as fuck getting older while married to this asshole.

But her genes weren't strong enough to do much against the Trump fugly.

Neither were Marla's for that matter.

Melania's have done a tad better.  But it would be easier to judge if they'd had a daughter.

^^ I dunno. I think the older Barron gets the more it seems he may be cursed with the Trump looks.

[waterslide]

This is Ivana's mother circa 2018 at the age of 92.  Her name is Marie Zelníčková.

[beeyotch]

That's odd but she bears a weird resemblance to that orange clown. It's the eyebrows, and eyes I think.

[MsDark]

Oh Barron's definitely got some of the Trump fug too. Just not as bad as the others.

From AP


Two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that police are investigating whether Ivana Trump fell down the stairs and believe her death was accidental.

She was found unconscious near a staircase in the home, the people said. The people could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. The medical examiner’s office will determine an official cause of death.

[MsDark]

Yeah. Well DT can't have a disgruntled ex who is probably also the keeper of several 'receipts' running around when he's under the hot seat.

This lady did write a whole book about the horror of being married to his ass, plus made multiple extra allegations that she ended up having to take back later on in order to avoid destruction (or just not getting money). 

And all that was BEFORE he was ever a US president who is now trying to avoid serious federal charges and prison.  (In addition to laboring under the delusion that he could make a comeback for the most powerful man in the country).

But you know what's the most suspicious thing of all that gives me pause?  This shit right here from the horse's mouth:

"I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City," Trump wrote in a statement on his social media platform Truth Social.

"She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life," he said. "Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!"

That shit made me pause even before I found out the cause of her death was being pushed (oops, I mean falling) down a flight of stairs!

[sputnik]

barron's trumpy but less than his siblings, and he seems to actually have a chin and some of melania's cheekbones and bone structure so the lower half of his face is far less unfortunate.

#Epsteined is trending on twitter and eyebrows are definitely being raised.

[panic]

Interesting. When I heard fell at the bottom of the stairs, my suspicions immediately kicked in but then I thought it's probably just my skeptical nature since I started watching the ID channel.

[Sarzy]

I get that people are bound to be suspicious given who her ex is, but I'd be surprised if this wasn't just an accident/heart attack.
