Melania Trump’s Spokesperson Slams Ivana Trump’s Claim That She Is the First Lady

In a recent interview with Good Morning America, President Donald Trump‘s ex-wife Ivana Trump sat down to discuss her new book, Raising Trump, out tomorrow. During the interview she made it clear that she’s still on good terms with the President. She even joked at one point that despite their divorce, she is the true First Lady of the United States.

The mother of Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka Trump has been divorced from the president since 1992, yet she confirmed that she has a “direct number” to the White House and speaks to the President every few weeks. “I [don’t] really want to call him there, because Melania is there,” Ivana said during the interview. “And I don’t want to cause any kind of jealousy or something like that, because I’m basically first Trump wife. OK? I’m First Lady.”

This did not go over well with the current FLOTUS and her staff. Melania Trump‘s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, responded to Ivana’s claim with this statement—and she did not hold back:

“Mrs. Trump has made the White House a home for Barron and the President. She loves living in Washington, D.C., and is honored by her role as First Lady of the United States. She plans to use her title and role to help children, not sell books. There is clearly no substance to this statement from an ex. Unfortunately only attention-seeking and self-serving noise.”

While Melania Trump’s statement suggests she and Ivana won’t be sitting down for a friendly brunch anytime soon, they’re still a whole lot more civilized than Trump himself. The President spent the weekend insulting retiring Tennessee Senator Bob Corker and attacking NFL players for kneeling during the national anthem.

Ivana Trump Is the One Person Encouraging Donald Trump to Tweet

Once upon a time, namely from 2008-2016, there was a president who tweeted presidentially. His name was Barack Obama, and while we will not get swept into any sort of comparative nostalgia here, his sanity (or that of his aides) using the social media platform kind of formed a baseline for Presidential Tweeting 101. Until January 20, 2017, when Donald Trump took office and threw the textbook out the window. The stories of his tweet debacles are honestly too numerous to go into here, though recent egregious sh-tstorms of late have involved terrifying provocations aimed at North Korea and hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico. There’s been repeated attempts by his team to stage Twitter interventions.

So why does he tweet the way he does? We might never know exactly why, but an enabler has revealed herself, and it’s none other than Ivana Trump, his ex-wife and mother to Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka Trump. In an interview with CBS on Sunday morning, she said that she still speaks regularly with Donald—about once a week, in fact. According to the transcript CBS Sunday Morning provided, he also asks her for advice, particularly when it comes to tweeting.

Ivana says Donald repeatedly asks her, “Should I tweet? Should I not tweet?”

She continues: “I said, ‘I think you should tweet. It’s a new way, a new technology. And if you want to get your words across rightly, without telling the New York Times, which is going to twist every single word of yours, this is how you get your message out.”

The interviewer, Jim Axelrod, gently chimes in to mention that “so many people…have said, ‘Mr. President, stop tweeting.'”

“Well, it’s a tweeting president,” Ivana responded. “This is his new way, how to put the message across. And he’s right.”

“And you love it,” said Axelrod.

“Yeah,” responded Ivana.

And there you have it, folks. Watch the interview below:
