Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s First Wife, Dies at 73

Ivana Trump, the Czech-American businesswoman, author, fashion designer, and model, has died at age 73. This fact was stated by Donald Trump, her second ex-husband, on the failed social media platform Truth Social. He wrote, “I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City.” 

Trump also mentioned in this post, “She was a wonderful, beautiful and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life. Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!”

How Did Ivana Trump Die?

According to the American ABC’s findings, New York paramedics discovered Ivana Trump unconscious and unresponsive in her Manhattan apartment. They were responding to a cardiac arrest call, but she was pronounced dead some time afterward they’d arrived. It’s worth noting that as of this moment, we’re unsure whether Ivana Trump died of a heart attack, hurting herself as she fell down, or some other type of injury. 

What Were Ivana Trump’s Politics?

Ivana Trump wasn’t much of a political junkie. In September of 2020, she told the Loose Women TV show, “I really don’t like politics that much. And I would do a great job in the White House, but really, it’s not my inspiration.”

Moreover, after Donald Trump lost the election but refused to accept this reality, she said to People, “I just want this whole thing to be over with, one way or the other.” Ivana Trump then went on to state, “I really don’t care.”

However, she was also on the record expressing that she was a Donald Trump supporter. During the aforementioned Loose Women episode, Ivana Trump said that she was “very very proud” when Donald Trump was inaugurated. She later added, “He’s pro everything I believe in.”
