Trump told me I could be ambassador, says Ivana

Ivana Trump, President Donald Trump's ex-wife, says she was offered the chance to become US ambassador to the Czech Republic but turned it down to preserve her globetrotting "perfect life".
Trump's first wife was raised in communist Czechoslovakia and married the New York property mogul in 1977.
"I was just offered to be the American ambassador to Czech Republic - and Donald told me. He said, 'Ivana, if you want it, I give it to you,'" Ivana, 68, said in an interview with TV network CBS, to be broadcast today.
However, she said she valued her freedom too much to accept.
"OK, why would I go and say bye-bye to Miami in the winter, bye-bye to Saint-Tropez in the summer and bye-bye to spring and fall in New York? I have a perfect life," she said.
The couple divorced in 1992 but the mother of Donald jnr, Ivanka and Eric said she still spoke regularly to her ex-husband and had advised him on his use of Twitter, suggesting it was a perfect way of preventing the mainstream media from twisting his words...
