WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s first lady versus first wife.

Melania Trump is pushing back at Donald Trump’s first wife for referring to herself as “first lady.”

Ivana Trump told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Monday that she talks to the president about every two weeks and has a direct number to the White House.

She added: “I don’t want to call him there because Melania is there and I don’t want to cause any kind of jealousy or something like that because I’m basically first Trump wife. I’m first lady, ok?”

Melania Trump’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, says there was “clearly no substance to this statement from an ex,” and she calls it “attention-seeking and self-serving noise.”

Ivana Trump is promoting her book, “Raising Trump.” Grisham suggests Ivana Trump is trying to “sell books.”

  1. The ever classy Trump women.

  2. I can already hear Wife #1…“Oh, it’s on bitch!”

    When does Marla get in on this act? Inquiring minds want to know…whereas the rest of us really don’t give a shit.

  3. For fuck’s sake, we have a lunatic moron in the White House who wants to start simultaneous wars with Iran and North Korea and is asking advisors “what’s so wrong about using nuclear weapons?”

    Who gives a fuck about what Trump’s wives think of each other and whether or not Hillary or Meryl Streep should condemn Harvey Weinstein. Fuck this celebrity gossip bullshit, AP. Just get on with it,

    Sorry for the rant.

    You don’t understand the value of gossip. It’s probably why we evolved language.
