Inside the Ivanka-Melania War

They’re the two most important women in Donald Trump’s life. And they absolutely loathe one another.

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, the former Melania Trump confidant and author of Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady, spills the tea on the latest episode of The New Abnormal, starting with the very first days of the administration.

“Melania didn't come to D.C. that week, but Ivanka stayed and Donald stayed there. And all of a sudden, that's the weekend, Donald signs the, immigration, what was it called? The ban. Yes. Ivanka shows ‘Finding Dory.’ Now, if you couldn't be more tone-deaf. Children were being separated from their parents. And here you're screening a film where again, this trout fish is being separated from its mother.”

“Is that because Ivanka is dumb or is that because Ivanka is evil?” Molly Jong-Fast asks.

“Listen, I say it as it is. I think it's a mixture. I really do. I think that Ivanka is Donald in a suit, right? All of the Trumps are taught to be Trumps. They don't show emotion. A Trump is a Trump because they are authentically and unapologetically skin deep, and also self-serving. And their attitudes and disrespect for each other is again, you have to get any inside to see it,” Wolkoff answers.

And Wolkoff does indeed go inside, accusing Ivanka of purposefully boxing Melania out at every turn.

back in the late 90s? A Melanoma/Ivanka Death Match would be priceless.

She's probably thinking post-presidency and her pre-nup, "and the bitch better have my money."

And she should be worried because she might have to get in line because the creditors are waiting for trump once he's out of office.

BTW The Daily Beast had a $19.95 annual subscription special recently. It's worth it just for the Rick Wilson columns.

14. Uh, just tried it a 2nd time to be sure, and the quoted part went dark then to a solicitation to pay

Perhaps a certain number of articles per month are free until the pay kicks in, and I do check the Beast occasionally so might have used up the freebies.
