What’s there to complain about when you wake up to the city’s skyline in your million-dollar penthouse and you end your day boarding your private 747 to your Mar-a-Lago estate? Oh yeah, and your worth billions of dollars?
Apparently, Donald Trump’s life before being a self-made billionaire and 2016 presidential candidate was really tough.
Donald Trump professed in his 1990 book, “Surviving at the Top.”
“I’d often say, loud enough…for anyone standing in the hall outside my office to hear me, ‘My life is shit,'”
But, the drama king isn’t referring to his business ventures. No; he’s referring to his marriage to, Ivana Trump.
“My nine-to-five day fascinated and energized me,” Trump wrote. “But then, late in the afternoon, I’d often get a call from Ivana, reminding me of that night’s engagement. ‘You’ll be sitting next to Lord Somebody-or-Other at such-and-such an event,’ she’d say—and I’d suddenly feel like a low-level employee who’d just been handed some meaningless, mind-numbing assignment.”
The couple would fight about their engagements, but Trump would eventually take a knee to his wife of 14 years;
“Because I didn’t want to disappoint or embarrass her,”
But that’s what marriage is about; compromise. Trump, however, wasn’t satisfied with that matrimonial vow.
He felt as if he was being forced to go to social gatherings with his wife and he says this is what ultimately led to his decision that the marriage wasn’t working.
“You have only one life, and that’s simply not how I wanted to live mine,”
So, Trump took his life back into his own hands; the definition of this being his affair with, Marla Maples, essentially replacing one blonde model with another.
Ivana filed for divorce in 1992, costing Trump a pretty, gold penny. He quickly wedded Maples the following year. The marriage between the adulterers only lasted six years.
