It should be 1977 to 1991. They got the article from International Business Times which has it as 1977 to 1991.

I guess even Copy/Paste can be difficult

If she truly raised them without any input from Trump, they sure all turned out just like him. Lying, entitled, rich kids.

Maybe he wasn't living with her and the kids in their home but his influence is what stuck, apparently.

...is going to have as much if not more influence. I've no doubt Ivana did her best (whatever that was), but if she raised the kids as millionaire children who had nannies and maids and cooks, who lived in outrageous luxury, spoilt beyond belief, and never having to really pay for any wrongs they did, never having to sacrifice anything...it's rare that such kids turn out well. And I'm sure that for all she raised them single-handed, they wanted daddy's attention and approval. The children of famous fathers, with dad's last name, are viewed by others as "this famous man's son/daughter," and often view themselves that way, too. They have trouble with autonomy. They can sometimes worship such fathers too much, and worry too much about a father's (their name's) legacy.

Also, the parent who isn't there, especially if famous, often has more power, more allure than the parent who is seen every day. The every-day parent is merely human. The distant parent can be "mythic." So, I'm not surprised if these kids are lock-step with Dad now, never mind who raised them. Especiallly if dad (however crookedly) provides for that lifestyle they've lived and don't want to give up.

Uday & Qusay are even creepier than the Romney bots.

Did anyone read the interview linked to in the article?

Who’s paying? You and me.

If he had no hand in raising them how did they turn out equally as hateful as he is?

For all others, who like me have kids who graduated college, would you ever say something like this?:

It's not the first time Ivana has commented on raising the kids alone. "Once the children were the age of 21 and out of the university, I said, 'Donald, this is the final product, now you deal with it,'" she told the New York Post in an April interview.

I've never heard any of the three children even mention their mother or any contribution she may have made to their lives. Can anyone disagree? Perhaps I've missed something, but I seriously have never seen them make any reference to Ivana.

It's always "my dad" did (fill in the blank).

They must be embarassed with Trumps conduct.

When Donald left Ivana to join Marla, Donald Jr. is supposed to have accused him of loving nobody/nothing but his money.
“How can you say you love us? You don’t love us! You don’t even love yourself. You just love your money,” twelve-year-old Donald junior told his father, according to friends of Ivana’s.

And Jr.'s crossed over to the Dark Side since he left Ivana's nest.

Nothing like it!

I'm surprised that he could even be a sperm donor with those tiny little hands.

because they are almost as psychopathic as him.

... Oh wait, that was Mr. Mitnik, that's right.

But who figured out how to HIRE Mr. Mitnik?

Oh wait, that was poppa Friedrich, that's right.

Hey, at least he told little 4 year old donnie Jr not to run with the "bad crowd" (that bad crowd always exists in groups of pre-k 4 year olds, of course), and he told 4 year old junior not to smoke drink or do drugs, when sending him off to school. Plus, he gave his kid that great advice "don't trust your father, loser."

You can't buy that kind of parenting, for any amount of money, no matter how rich you are.

So there.

I think that she was divorced by 1991. She had a cameo in the movie The First Wives Club and famously said: "don't get mad; get even!"

Ivana was determined to get everything she could out of "the Donald".
