I think your analysis is pretty spot on. If Ivana could make more money jumping on the newly rediscovered rape train she would. She likes the millions more, regardless of whether or not it was ever the truth. So it (her recent support of Trump) must be taken with a grain of financial salt.
Of course the opposite is also true, that the original claim very well could have been to squeeze more money out of the divorce. So who knows. If Trump’s lawyers don’t say anything stupid (again) he should be fine through this though. At best (for his detractors) Ivana comes across looking like a gold digger no matter how one looks at this now.
“Of course the opposite is also true, that the original claim very well could have been to squeeze more money out of the divorce. “
That’s a given — that it could have been.
I know plenty of men who were punished during divorce with unfounded allegations and TRO’s.
