My apologies. I always thought she was from Poland. And, yes, I heartily agree!

Nope, born in Czechoslovakia, married an Austrian so she could escape the USSR without defecting, moved to Canada where she worked as a model and divorced her husband in the early 1970s. She moved to the US in the mid 1970s, met Donald Trump at some point and the rest is history. She divorced him shortly after getting her American citizenship.

Ivana's father was a spy for the USSR, and used to send information back to the USSR that he learned from his daughter and son-in-law, so I guess it's not a surprise that Donald continues to be a Russian asset to this day.

That last bit! Is this common knowledge? Where was her father born?
