Ivana Trump, the first wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, confirmed what many of us have been thinking for a long time now: Trump is a childish buffoon. Her story of a young Donald Trump on the ski slopes is telling of the temperament we see in the nominee now.
Ivana Trump: ‘He Could Not Take It’
Trump biographer Michael D’Antonio spoke with Ivana Trump about her marriage to The Donald, and she remembered a time he took her skiing. This was early on, before they married, and one would think Donald would want to show his best side, right?
No.
You see, Ivana neglected to tell the young Donald Trump that she was a very accomplished skier. According to Ivana Trump, Donald skied down the slope first, and then:
“… He goes and stops, and he says, ‘Come on, baby. Come on, baby.’ I went up. I went two flips up in the air, two flips in front of him. I disappeared. Donald was so angry, he took off his skis, his ski boots, and walked up to the restaurant. He could not take it. He could not take it.”
She said he stormed off, saying:
“I’m not going to do this for anybody, including Ivana.”
We all know by now that Donald Trump is a man who doesn’t like to lose. Ever. He is a man easily baited, easily goaded, and he has the temper of a petulant child. His outbursts have sparked the hashtag #trumpertantrum.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was correct when she said, in her speech at the Democratic National Convention:
“A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.”
Nor is a man who storms off in a huff when bested by his girlfriend on the ski slopes.
Donald Trump: ‘I Loved To Fight’
D’Antonio also said that Donald told him how he loved a good fight.
“I loved to fight. I always loved to fight. All types of fights. Any kind of fight, I loved it, including physical.”
There’s a word for people who act like that: Bully.
Of course, Trump has put his childish, bullying ways on display for the world during this election cycle. Ivana just happened to be one of his earlier victims.
