In an interview in the New York Post on Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump’s ex-wife Ivana Trump said that she would like to be appointed ambassador to the Czech Republic.
During the interview, Ivana boasted that she was “quite known all around the world.”
“Not only in America,” she added. “I have written three books, and they were translated in 40 countries in 25 languages. I’m known by the name Ivana. I really did not need the name Trump.”
Ivana suggested that she could be ambassador for the Czech Republic, because that “is where I’m from and my language and everybody knows me.”
Normally, it would be easy to dismiss a president’s ex-wife claiming that she would make a good ambassador to a country on the grounds that she speaks the language, but this is a presidency in which the president’s children are somehow allowed to stay on and manage his global business empire, so anything is possible.
Elsewhere in the interview, Ivana — who certainly knows Donald Trump’s habits better than just about anybody — provided some insight into what a Trump presidency might look like.
First she reassured the nation’s nervous interior-decorating enthusiasts by saying, “I don’t think he’s going to do gold leafing in the White House.” But she did say that she doubted that Trump would be willing to truly leave his Trump Tower apartment and live in the White House full time.
Not that Ivana blames him. “To be perfectly honest,” she said, “I think probably the Trump Tower and my townhouse in New York is much better than the White House.”
Ivana also intimated that the commander-in-chief’s busy travel schedule would be hell for the president-elect: “Donald is like a good French wine. He doesn’t like to be moved and traveled. The last 18 months, he traveled as much as he ever has in his life. Thank God he has his private plane, but still, it was brutal.”

The Czech president said Wednesday that Donald Trump “could not send a better US ambassador to Prague” than his socialite ex-wife Ivana.
His announcement comes days after Ivana Trump told The Post she’d love to take on the ambassador role for the Czech Republic, her home country.
Czech President Milos Zeman has been supportive of Trump’s presidential run all along, saying he would’ve voted for him if he were an American citizen.
Meanwhile, a Trump spokesperson said the transition team is “not going to rush” announcing their picks for cabinet positions.
Jason Miller said President Obama didn’t have “his entire cabinet formed within the first week” and they’d use a “methodical approach” to fill the positions.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tennessee) confirmed Wednesday that he’s being considered for a role.
“I think I’m in the mix,” he said.
He didn’t elaborate, but there’s speculation that Corker could be up for secretary of state, a job Rudy Giuliani wants. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is also rumored to be in the hunt.
Despite being a socialist, Czech president Milos Zeman is very tough on issues such as Islam and immigration.
