Would Marla Maples Have Been A Better First Lady?

Marla Maples is ultimately known for being Donald Trump’s ex-wife, and the woman he cheated on his first wife Ivana with, but there’s a lot more to Miss Maples. Yes, she was an actress and a model, but Marla is also a philanthropist with a deep spiritual foundation and devotion to the environment. She’s worked with numerous charities, and continuously spreads her message of peace and love through various mediums. One can only wonder how different things would have been if she were still standing by Trump’s side.

Marla Maples started seeing Donald Trump when he was still married to first wife, Ivana. During that time, he supposedly put Marla up to live in one of his hotels and would have her secretly join him on vacations, even when Ivana was there. The two women confronted each other during one infamous trip to Aspen, which led to Ivana leaving Trump through a very expensive divorce. The media had a frenzy with Marla, and the public was furious, siding with Ivana. Marla was 18 years younger than Donald. He married her in 1993, when their daughter Tiffany was a little over two months old. She and Trump divorced six years later.
