Donald Trump’s first wife Ivana has branded her ex-husband a “bad loser” following his bitter US election defeat.

The 71-year-old, who is mother of Trump’s three eldest children, suggested he should go down to Palm Beach, where he owns a luxury estate, to accept his political career is over.

Ivana said: “He’s not a good loser. He doesn’t like to lose, so he’s going to fight and fight and fight.

“He has to go and declare that he lost. 

“I just want this whole thing to be over with, one way or another. I really don’t care.

“I don’t think he has a choice. He’s going to go down to Palm Beach and play golf and live the normal life, I think.

“This is the best choice for what he can do”.

“He hates to be a loser, that I’m sure of. But if he loses, he loses.”
