Melania responds hard over Ivana’s claim to be the First Lady

The First Lady of the United States Melania Trump has accused Ivana Trump, her husband’s first wife, of “attention-seeking and self-serving noise” after Ivana said to be the First Lady of United States during a programme of ABC news. Ivana said she talked with her ex-husband Donald Trump around once in every two weeks on a “direct number to the White House.”

She made the remark while promoting her new book Raising Trump – a book that shares Ivana’s story of raising Donald Trump’s three children – in the television programme, reports the Guardian. Ivana also said that she was unenthusiastic to call her ex-husband too often as Melania was there and she did not want to cause any kind of jealousy or something like that, reports ABC news.

“Because I am basically Trump's first wife, okay? I am First Lady, okay?” she laughed. After such a comment from Ivana, Melania’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham threw a curt response and said Ivana’s comments had no substance. “Mrs Trump has made the White House a home for Barron and the president. She loves living in Washington, DC and is honoured by her role as First Lady of the United States. She plans to use her title and role to help children, not sell books,” wrote Grisham in a statement to CBS News.

“There is clearly no substance to this statement from an ex,” Grisham continued. “[T]his is unfortunately only attention-seeking and self-serving noise,” the statement added. Donald Trump and Ivana Trump spent a married life from 1977 to 1992 and have Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric. Ivana wrote about her marriage to the future president in her new book.

Ivana said in her new book that Ivanka could run for president one day. Ivana and Donald have a warm relationship despite the “insane” circumstances of their notorious divorce, the book adds.
