Ivana Trump (1949-2022)
July 16, 2022 9:59 AM Subscribe
Ivana Trump (2/20/1949-7/14/2022), apparently due to cardiac arrest at her Manhattan apartment.
Growing up in Gottwaldov, Czechoslvakia, south of Prague, her father trained her in skiing, enrolling Ivana in 1961 in a very strict Communist training camp for child athletes. Ivana met and dated professional skier George Syrovatka while earning a master's in P.E. and languages at Charles University in Prague. She emigrated to Montreal and began modeling for Audrey Morris. She was sent to NYC to promote the Montreal Olympics, where she met Donald. The couple married in 1977, and had son Donald Jr. a year later, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984.
She did interior design for the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Trump Tower, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, and was CEO of some other Trump locations.
After the couple's divorce in 1992, she appeared in a surprise cameo in The First Wives' Club, telling them "don't get mad, get everything".
Donald called her "a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life, whereas her son Eric wrote of how she was a "survivor" who "fled from Communism [... and] taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination."
In her book Too Much and Never Enough, niece Mary Trump wrote of how "Ivana was all flash, arrogance, and spite" and how she once offered to introduce Mary to Bob Guccione in his capacity as editor of Omni.

To quote my brother: “Hideous loser dies and goes to hell.”
No, we don’t believe in hell, but sometimes hope can be a good thing.

The Guardian says blunt force trauma to her torso, which is a thing that happens if you have a heart attack on stairs.
Consequently, Donnie gets a delay in depositioning for his business dealings.

Why is this being reposted at all? What's the point? No offense, but I'm just genuinely baffled as I just don't see what there is to say here that merits saying.
