Donald Trump had a decades-old picture of his ex-wife Marla Maples (in a bikini) on his desk, underneath a newspaper and a taco bowl when he posted his now infamous Cinco de Mayo tweet on Thursday. And Marla exclusively shared her reaction to being in Donald's snap, which showed him eating his lunch, with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush on Friday.
