And if you wish POTUS would keep his Twitter habit in check, don’t look to Ivana Trump for help. The 68-year-old author, business executive, and former model says she encourages it.

She is promoting her upcoming memoir Raising Trump about parenting the Trump kids, Donald Jr., and Eric, who run the family biz while dad’s a bit busy, and Ivanka Trump, who joined her father in the White House as a top adviser.
