Apparently, Donald Trump’s America could have happened in the 1990s.

In an interview with Today, Trump’s ex-wife Marla Maples was asked, “Did you ever, when you guys were dating, did you ever think that this day would come, where he would one day be president? Did he ever talk about it with you?”

“Oh gosh. Yes. Absolutely,” she replied. “It’s something we thought about doing in the ’90s.”

Marla wed Trump in 1993 and got divorced in 1999. She mentioned that campaigning would have affected his three, then-young children with his first wife Ivana Trump: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump.

“But I knew how difficult it would be on the kids,” she added. “Donnie, Ivanka and Eric were much younger. It’s a big toll. It can take a big toll on kids. It’s a whole other world.”

Did you ever think this day would come when [Donald Trump] would be president?
