Ivana Trump, 69, told Page Six in an interview on Saturday that she believes her former husband shouldn't run for reelection.
"I don't think it's necessary", she said, adding that the President is getting older and already has everything he could possibly wish for, so he should just quit politics and enjoy his fortune and playing golf like he always has.
The comments were met with mixed reaction on Twitter. Some users agreed that Trump should really give it a rest.
Others said Ivana should better focus on herself and talk less.
According to the President's first wife, Trump probably wasn't expecting how much work was involved in being president.
"I think he probably [misses] a little bit of freedom… It's so [much] information — you have to know the whole world", Ivana explained.
Ivana, who divorced Trump in 1992 over an affair, also said she "feels bad" for Trump's current wife, Melania, over rumors that adult films star Stormy Daniels had a sexual intercourse with Trump during his marriage.
"I divorced Donald immediately because I told myself, ‘Am I going to live with the person [who] is going to say, ‘I'm going to go and play golf' [leaving me to] think, ‘Is he really going to go and play golf?' I cannot do it", she said in an interview.
Ivana Trump is the mother of Donald Trump's first three children: Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric.
