Trump Blasted For Turning His Ex-Wife Ivana's Death Into Fundraising Opportunity

Natalia Ningthoujam / Jul 17 2022, 11:35PM EDT

Following the death of Donald Trump's first wife Ivana Trump, the former President issued a statement, but he got slammed by critics for apparently "fundraising off" the announcement.

Trump said in his Truth Social post that he was 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." He described her as a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a "great and inspirational life." He said that Ivana's pride and joy were her children, and that she was so "proud of them, as we were all so proud of her."

Political commentator Fred Wellman tweeted, "What a s***** human. My ex is dead…send me money." But there were many who pointed out that the link at the bottom of the message appears on all emails by Trump. They said that it was not added specifically by the former president. Grand Old Party (GOP) operative Arthur Schwartz said that it’s on the letterhead, and that it wasn’t added for purposes of the statement on Ivana's death.

The "donate" function is automatically included in all of its emails, Liz Harrington, a Trump spokesperson, told Business Insider. She said that it is obviously a built-in function on all of Trump’s emails, and only "ghouls would try to make something of it. Sick."

trump and his goons couldn't be troubled to remove the "automatically included 'donate' function" from his comments on his ex-wife's death.

Not that anything better should be expected from him.
