First lady Melania Trump's office fired back at President Trump's ex-wife Ivana on Monday after she boasted of her access to the White House and even referred to herself as the real "first lady."
In an interview with “Good Morning America” to promote her new book “Raising Trump,” Ivana Trump said she and the president speak “about once every 14 days.”
“I have the direct number to White House, but I no really want to call him there because Melania is there,” she said. “I don’t want to cause any kind of jealousy or something like that because I’m basically first Trump wife.”
She added with a laugh: “I’m first lady, okay?”
“This is unfortunately only attention-seeking and self-serving noise,” the first lady’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement to Fox News.
“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,” Grisham said, slamming Ivana’s book-promotion. “She plans to use her title and role to help children, not sell books.”

From what I can tell, Ivana was not trying to pretend to hold the office of First Lady, but was simply using a play on words that she was in fact President Trump’s First Lady, as in his personal life.
Not a big deal.
overblown BS story. I saw it, she meant first wife anyone watching would know it. MSM fake news again.
I figured as much. Just a k difference.
Tell that to Melania. Meow!
Ivana needs to shut the hell up.
Period.
She was always a dizzy dame. She ran the Plaza into the ground.
Wonder how often Ivanka (daughter) talks with Ivana (her mother).
Sure. But don't call me Willie.
Ivana was on Fox & Friends this morning and she told Ainsley (sp?) that she is NOT the first lady, she is the first Mrs. Donald Trump.
Completely agree. When you watch the clip, it's clear Ivana was joking. The MSM is trying to stir things up, as usual.
overblown BS story. I saw it, she meant first wife anyone watching would know it. MSM fake news again.
Ding ding ding! Winner.
Once again the MSM is like the old neighborhood gossip who likes to spread half-truths with a side-order of innuendo.
Words like “slammed” is just media foolishness. From the context she was joking and probably wanted to say first wife. Melania doesn’t strike me as the type of “slam” her for that. Temp might though hahah
We will know no peace in this country until the Leftstream Media is destroyed.
Interesting two book tours proceeding.
“What Happening”
“Raising Trump”
Ivana is not a native English speaker. Maybe she meant to say, “first wife,” instead of “first lady?”

That’s what I suspect. It sounds much more likely to be a joke-gone-wrong than an attempt to actually assert that SHE’S the first lady.
No, it’s not a big deal. Joke material, perhaps.
She added with a laugh: “I’m first lady, okay?”
...
Obviously joking around but most won’t read beyond the fake news title.
Melanie is a very classy lady. Her statement about using her office to help children instead of selling books was a classy comeback. I might add that Hillary could take that advice too.
Ex-wives. Ya can’t live with ‘em. Ya can’t live with ‘em.
MSN has fake news and now fake non-news.
