Ivana Trump in an interview called herself the first lady and recalled the details of family life with Donald Trump. Ivana Trump - American businesswoman: biography, personal life Donald Trump and his women: what do we know about the personal life of the President of the United States

Entrepreneur, media magnate, billionaire who became the President of the United States - is this the embodiment of american dream, which many only dream of? Donald Trump is not one of those to whom one can remain indifferent, his odious persona is too bright and ambiguous. Unrestrained, ambitious, brazen and uncompromising, he seems to just come in and take what he wants without much concern for his image. Married for the third time, he is the father of five children and the grandfather of eight grandchildren, which, however, does not prevent him from making unequivocal remarks to the weaker sex, both admiring and scandalous.

By assuming the presidency of the United States, Trump has fueled interest in his past, which was in no way connected with politics. What was Trump then - in his younger years and more mature years? Introducing photos of Donald Trump in childhood, adolescence and young years, they will help you learn a little better about the new American president.

Donald Trump was born June 14, 1946 in New York Borough of Queens.

With this post, I want to start a cycle about the main women in Donald's life - his first wife Ivana, daughter Ivanka and current companion - Melania. All these women are interesting and iconic personalities for their time, and we will start with Ivana, as the first and most significant (after his mother, of course;)) women in his life.

Ivana was born in a small Czech town in 1949. At the age of two, she already knew how to swim and ski - her father taught her this, which was a strategically correct step - sport determined Ivana's future. She grew up as a girl who had everything - intelligence, beauty, a good figure, abilities, self-discipline. Her father worked hard on the latter - one day, when Ivana's grades at school were lower than required, he took her out of school and sent her to work in a shoe factory.

Three weeks later, Ivana begged for a second chance and returned to her studies with triple zeal. After some time, Ivana receives a bachelor's degree at the Institute of Physical Education, marries her first husband and emigrates to Canada from socialist Czechoslovakia. There she begins her modeling career and spends several years defiling on the catwalk.

She met Donald in 1976 in New York in one of the bars, where she relaxed after a hard day of filming in the company of other girls. After 8 months they got married. Ivana gave birth to three children to Donald - Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric.

They say, living together with Donald was difficult - he walked, had an explosive character and was very unrestrained with his tongue. In the 80s, their family was influential and famous: Donald's pressure and business acumen, multiplied by the right ability to present everything to the public and the media, did their job. Ivana was perfect wife from the 80s - bright, talented, purposeful.

Already at that time he had ambitions to become President of the United States, but this was prevented by his betrayal of Ivana. Marla Maples became the reason for their separation, as soon as Ivana found out about the betrayal, she immediately filed for divorce. Instantly, all the love of American women went to Ivana, she was pitied and loved because she suffered, because she fell, but was able to rise.

After the divorce, Ivana received $ 25 million, founded her own clothing brand and wrote several books (with the help of literary blacks).

She married several more times, but her marriages did not last long. Ivana chooses young men for relationships: “I’d rather be a nanny than a nurse,” admits ex-wife billionaire. Well, Ivana, we readily believe :) She does not grieve and enjoys life with might and main, as if time and age do not exist. Bravo, Ivana! We want to have the courage to do the same.

It seems that nothing has changed in Ivana's life - trends, hobbies for minimalism, the practicality of modern fashion and the ever-growing “normcore” style are passing by her wardrobe. Ivana lives like there's a party around and she's still an 80s girl, which means there's no reason to give up on bright colors, plunging necklines, and miniskirts (as well as young lovers).

Forget entertainment channels. The most captivating reality show is about to begin at the White House, Washington, DC. And the first steps have already been taken: Ivana Trump threw a hairpin at Melania, Melania answered.

It began with the fact that while promoting her book under the loud title Raising Trump, Ivana Trump, in an interview with Good Morning America, announced regular communication with the president.

Ivana is talking to former spouse once every two weeks, she has the opportunity to contact the White House directly, but the lady understands that her wife Melania is often next to the politician, who can be jealous. “Because I am Trump's first wife. I am the first lady. Right?” Ivana quipped.

The answer from Melania was not long in coming. "Mrs. Trump tried to make White House home to the President and Barron. She enjoys living in Washington, DC, playing the role of the first lady of the United States. She plans to use her status to help children, not to sell books. Obviously, there is nothing significant in the statement of the ex (spouse). Unfortunately, only an attempt to attract attention and make a fuss," Melania's spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.

The answer of Trump's current wife to his ex seriously amused the public. Some big names in show business are excited about the prospect of a kind of reality TV show in the White House.

Real Housewives producer Andy Cohen tweeted: "I'm speechless. This is really happening – the wives are starting to fight.” Some down-to-earth individuals have even offered to sell tickets to "shows" to foreign media holdings and thus reduce the US debt. Perhaps Ivana and Melania will consider such interesting proposals.

Other role models are in fashion: in the 80s, Ivana Trump, the wife of a billionaire, set the style, socialite originally from Czechoslovakia, as if appearing in real world from the series "Dynasty". Autumn-winter season 2016 was the return of the "80s tycoon" style to politics and to the catwalks.

One-shoulder asymmetrical sequined dresses, mini skirts, bright makeup and bleached hair, which took liters of lacquer to style - this is what Ivana Trump, nee Zelnichkova, a skier and model from Czechoslovakia, who in 1977 became the wife of American millionaire Donald Trump, looked like. Her outfits were mesmerizing.

dazzling in literally the words Cocktail Dresses, giant fur coats and high bouffants: the conditional Ellochka the cannibal must have gone crazy with such luxury.

“First time in New York, this girl began to carefully style her hair in a hairstyle resembling a helmet, and wearing flowing silk dresses; her idea of ​​rich American women may have been based on American films she saw as a child, the magazine wrote about Ivan. Vanity Fair in 1990 in an article about her divorce from Donald Trump. “After all the years that Ivana spent in luxurious apartments in New York, she never learned what it really means to be rich, she did not learn the art of restraint.”

She didn't learn it by 1990 or 2016: at 67, she still wears sparkly dresses with a deep neckline, does not hide her knees and styles her hair in a manner close to our ladies (hair dyed blond, bangs, a roll-babette twisted at the back of the head: which of us will be surprised by this?).

True, now the style of Ivana Trump is perceived differently, and you only need to blame fashion designers who are tired of minimalism, conciseness, complex cuts and intricate concepts.

In the fall-winter 2016 season, several fashion designers turned to the style of the future first wife of the US president at once: pretty beige tunics, perfectly fitting black trousers and tweed suits, fashion wants fun, drama, excitement! It's funny, but after the US elections, redundancy abruptly ceases to be evidence of bad taste. In the 21st century, the passion for baroque stucco in all its manifestations is ready to wake up in us again. And in fashion as well.

"This decade isn't celebrated with much glee, but the '80s borderline luxury is definitely coming to the fore this season," said Lisa Aiken, fashion director of online retailer Net-a-Porter, in an interview with correspondent. “We are fascinated by wide belts that, when worn over any mini dress or oversized blazer, immediately refer to the 80s. Balmain, Maison Margiela, Saint Laurent have shown such examples.”

Wide belts - yes. And also pointed pumps with stilettos, huge earrings, handbags with chains instead of straps, fishnet tights: if you put on all this not at once, but separately, it turns out quite modern. And if you add here the cocktail dresses that Hedi Slimane suggested wearing in his farewell collection for Saint Laurent, blazers with huge shoulders, leather, velvet and leopard print, which appeared in almost every collection this season, it becomes clear: soon in stores again there will be no hairspray and platinum blond color for them.

For those who recall the fashion of the 80s with horror, it all sounds like a real nightmare: neither before nor after the clothes looked like such a slap in the face of good taste as they did in that decade.

However, it seems that now we will generally have to assimilate new democratic ideas about good taste: after all, style icons like and are already wearing leopard print with might and main.

Now Ivana Trump is finally coming out of the shadows. According to the New York Post, she has already proposed her candidacy for the post of US ambassador to the Czech Republic. “I come from there, I know the language, and everyone there knows me,” she told the publication. “I am very famous all over the world. Not only in America. I have written three books that have been published in 40 countries and translated into 25 languages. Everyone knows my name - Ivana. I don't even need to add Trump's last name."

It is not known if he will new president The United States is her proposal, but her name is really known outside the United States: in the 80s, she symbolized the dream of all girls from Eastern Europe.

Today she is the muse of fashion designers. You may not believe it now, but when you see a girl in a leopard-like fur coat on a trolley bus, know that she was inspired by the first wife of the American president. Because the 80s seem to be really back. Now for real.

Thousands of young girls who dream of lassoing a millionaire call her a role model. And even the "acting" wives of the rich and the oligarchs are studying Ivana's experience - in case of an impending divorce.

Because marrying a rich man is easy compared to keeping him. And it’s easier to keep than to make you fork out when love is gone ... And for all this, model beauty and eternal youth are not enough - you need character.

Golden Mountains

She could go shopping all day, buying herself whatever she wanted. I could visit the best beauty salons.

When Ivana was tired of eternal rest and wanted to work, her husband got her a manager in his company: for a nominal fee of one dollar, plus the cost of any outfits that she pleases to order in the best stores.

Then the children appeared. Every event in the family of a multimillionaire was covered by the press, the Trump balls were the most prestigious event in New York.
And thirteen years later, Ivana realized that she was being taken for a fool.

Smart and smart

Of course, she assumed that sometimes her husband was cheating on her. Or rather, I just tried not to think about it. Donald was the owner of the Miss Universe pageant. It is difficult to remain calm, constantly being in the very center of such a flower garden. Surely Donald skims the cream, tasting the most beautiful girls sublunar world. But the main thing for him is family, business, reputation. Ivanna was sure that they were together forever.

And suddenly it turned out that for several years now he has been living with a permanent girlfriend, Marla Mapes. She was no match for Ivana, except that she was ten years younger, but Donald settled her in one of his "towers" and took her with him all the time when he went on business trips.

Ivana was in a panic, but decided not to lose her head. Husband wants a young beauty? Well, she'll arrange it for him. Plastic surgeons made her a super beauty. Ivana tightened the skin around her eyes, filled her lips with Botox, pumped out fat from the sides and almost stopped wearing makeup to look younger.

But while she was in the hospital, Marla lived in her house. When Ivana was informed about this, she put the question point-blank, believing that Donald would be frightened. But he firmly said that he had made his choice and agreed to a divorce. In response, his wife destroyed his office, lined with antique furniture and hung with paintings by famous artists, but then pulled herself together, hired lawyers and chopped off a decent piece of his fortune.

Now Ivana knows that her opponent is far from being so lucky. Donald concluded with Marla marriage contract for four years in the amount of only one and a half million. If the marriage had lasted longer, the amount would have increased. Marla gave birth to Trump's daughter, but exactly after the period specified in the contract, he filed for divorce and got rid of his annoying second wife. Where is she now, this Marla?

Ivana is fine. After the divorce, she married twice more - in last time for a handsome Italian dancer, 20 years younger than her. She left - and left him after a year and a half.

She spent the money won from her husband wisely: she released the perfume "Ivan", created a model house with a turnover of four million dollars a year, published two autobiographical books from the series "How to lasso a millionaire" and agreed to host a reality show in which young handsome men won the favor of the ladies of the Balzac age. And then Ivana was offered to head the Club of abandoned wives.

And she agreed. But with the condition that it be renamed the First Wives Club. Does she look abandoned?
