While Ivana Trump has been supportive of her former husband Donald Trump's presidential aspirations, she was allegedly overheard insulting his wife Melania. Now, Donald is responding to the comments.

According to the New York Post, Donald's ex-wife insinuated that Melania would be a less-than-stellar first lady during a recent event in New York City. She reportedly told a partygoer, "She can't talk, she can't give a speech."

Donald was in Manhattan signing copies of his book Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again, while his pregnant daughter Ivanka was also in the Big Apple accepting her Breakthrough award at the Accessories Council Excellence Awards.

"It's a great honor and an amazing validation of our hard work," Ivanka said.

According to their website, the ACE Awards were created to "pay homage to those individuals and groups that have made great strides in raising the awareness of the accessories industry."

Donald is getting ready for a big weekend as he hosts Saturday Night Live amid a flurry of controversy. Many are calling for a boycott of SNL due to Donald's anti-immigration remarks from earlier this year, but Trump seems to invite the negative attention.

"Well, I think that's great because it's just going to make it hotter," Donald said. "I hope there's some kind of a picket line because that'll just drive the ratings even higher."
