Ivana Trump’s sudden death in July was the end of an era in Manhattan because at one point during her life, she, and ex Donald Trump, were a part of the city’s socialite inner circle.
Now, the colorful New York City public figure had passed away and Donald Trump was left to mourn the life that he once had.
Ivana’s death affected the former president more than the public probably realizes because when the couple was at the height of their popularity, they were beloved. So much had happened in the aftermath of their divorce and Donald Trump became one of the most divisive public figures in US history.
Socialite Vivian Serota noted to Vanity Fair that during Ivana’s open-casket viewing, he couldn’t stand still, pacing by her casket “as if he were talking to her.” However, it was Serota who had the last word with Donald Trump and reminded him of how his cheating scandal with Marla Maples crushed Ivana.
Ivana’s BFF confronted him at the gravesite where he stood by himself, and said, “You broke her heart. She loved you; she still loved you, and I know you loved her. You could have been the couple of the century. You made a mistake.”
Those pointed words probably cut Donald Trump deeply because Serota was right — when he divorced Ivana everything changed for the worse.
Sure, he ascended to the Oval Office, but he didn’t walk away as everybody’s favorite president. If he had Ivana by his side, things would have turned out much differently.
Serota knew that she hit Donald Trump where it hurt, and recalled, “He didn’t say anything. But when he turned around, there were tears running down his face.” Ivana was always Donald Trump’s secret weapon back in their heyday, she helped make him likable and popular — it’s something he was never able to recreate out on his own.
People make mistakes. It is NOT appropriate to have attacked him at the gravesite. That woman was just as much in the wrong. He or in this case she who has not sinned cast the first stone.
That was the past and as much as that woman thinks he is not cared for they are MANY of us that STILL back Trump. Cool the holier than thou lady! It’s sad but time to move on. You can tell he loves Melania.
Yeah your answer totally wreakes of backing Trump and then you have the gall to fake religious ! I am glad she told him off! He needed it! He was a cheater and a liar! Face the facts!
Everyone makes mistakes, I’m sure he feels terrible about his decision, and the divorce. U don’t trash someone at the funeral,what kind of a person are u? He makes mistakes like every human being on the planet, but is still loved by many,no matter what the radical,liberals,socialist,commie, dumbocraps think. U will see in just a few days when your party is devastated, in a red tsunami, making your party irelevant for years to come.Reap what u sew,losers. We will bring america back, to the freedom loving country we always are.
It’s one thing to say your piece, it’s another to advertise what you said, so who was that done for, the advertising part?
