Despite public opinion (and, you know, facts) being against him, Donald Trump has never backed away from his stance that most Mexican immigrants are rapists . Along sort of similar lines, however, Ivana Trump would like to make it clear that she does NOT believe her ex-husband to be a rapist. The Daily Beast came out this week with an article that excerpted parts of a 1993 book titled “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.” In this biography, author Harry Hurt III writes of how Ivana told friends about an incident in which Donald, her husband from 1977 through 1992, “raped” her. According to the book, Donald Trump came home after a failed scalp procedure, angry that the doctor Ivana recommended performed in such a shoddy manner. Trump allegedly held back Ivana’s arms… pulled out “fistfuls of hair” and… then: “He jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified… It is a violent assault,” Hurt writes. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’” With this claim having gone viral, Ivana Trump released a statement to CNN this morning that reads: I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald. The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. I Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president.
