NEW YORK (AP) — A new book from Donald Trump’s first wife pulls back the curtain on a tumultuous period of the president’s life, including the messy divorce that was splashed across New York’s tabloids for weeks.

Ivana Trump, who was married to the real estate magnate from 1977 to 1992, writes in “Raising Trump” that she knew her marriage was over soon after a day in December 1989. “This young blonde woman approached me out of the blue and said ‘I’m Marla and I love your husband. Do you?’” writes Ivana Trump. “I said ‘Get lost. I love my husband.’ It was unladylike but I was in shock.”

Trump’s public affair with Marla Maples spawned the infamous “Best Sex I’ve Ever Had” headline in the New York Post in 1990. After divorcing his first wife, Trump married Maples in 1993.

“Raising Trump” is set to be released next week. The Associated Press purchased an early copy.

She & Marla go into a brawl in Aspen over the Dear Leader.

2. You can bet her new book will leave out the more damning details already known about their breakup.

Including the account she gave initially of having been assaulted (including having her hair ripped out) and raped when Trump was furious with her because he was unhappy with the results of his scalp-reduction surgery. He'd gone to her plastic surgeon, and when he didn't like the results he screamed at her that her surgeon had "ruined" him, and he attacked her:

And reportedly one of the main factors in his marriage to Ivana breaking up was that Ivana "‘confided to female friends that Donald had difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection."

Which helps explain why Marla Maples was telling the tabloids that sex with Trump was the best she'd ever had. He probably insisted she tell them that, after the embarrassment of Ivana's friends hearing about his impotence.


And now Ivana's out with her new book, after he offered her an ambassadorship. Of course this will be much more flattering to Cheato...

4. Such grifters, all of them.

If there is a buck to be made, they are the first in line. I was wondering why she emerged on TV this week.... Aha! Selling a book.
