Donald Trump’s ex-wife, Marla Maples, wants to jump back in bed with him and be his running mate.
Maples, who is Trump’s second wife, said in a new interview that, beyond forgiving her ex-husband for cheating on her with Melania, she is “open to whatever way that she can serve” the former president—including, sources say, being his VP.
She also defended Trump when asked about his criminal conviction and said she didn’t think “there was a crime done” in response to a jury finding him liable for sexual abuse of the writer E. Jean Carroll. She expressed similar suspicions about Stormy Daniels.
“We have a country that is failing. Our cities are not protected. How do we make people feel safe again? That’s more important than having these lawsuits that are not affecting any of us today.”
Maples and Trump’s highly publicized affair let to Trump and first wife Ivana’s divorce in 1990, and the two then married in 1993. By 1999, they were divorced and Maples was left raising their daughter, Tiffany.
Maples previously revealed she cautioned Trump about launching a bid for the White House while they were married in the 1990s.
“It’s something we thought about doing in the ’90s, but I knew it would be difficult on the kids, it takes a big toll on kids, and Donny, Ivanka and Eric (Trump’s three eldest children from his first marriage) were much younger then,” said Maples in a 2018.
