MELANIA VS IVANKA!

Inside the ugly catfight tearing team Trump apart

BELEAGUERED Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka is locked in a bitter 18-year feud with her hated stepmom Melania over the ex-president’s $3 billion fortune — and sources squeal the savage struggle threatens to torpedo his bid for a second White House term!

Insiders tell GLOBE the bad blood runs deep with cruel insults, petty cheap shots and dirty tricks on both sides — with the hapless politician trapped between the two most important gals in his life!

“Melania and Ivanka hate being in the same room — and never speak except to his catty comments,” an insider dishes. “From the very first moment they met, they’ve viewed each other as mortal enemies.”

Ivanka, 42, considers her father’s third wife a gold-digging opportunist who can’t hold a candle to her late socialite mom, Czech-born beauty Ivana Trump, sources spill. Ivanka sneers her dad settled for Slovenian seconds when he wed model Melania, 53, an insider claims.

Meanwhile, confidants in sist miffed Melania secretly calls her eldest stepdaughter “The Princess” — and sees Ivanka as a spoiled brat whose sense of entitle ment knows no bounds!

According to tipsters, the colossal catfight worsened because Ivanka believes she and her brothers — Donald Jr., 46, and Eric, 40 — are the rightful heirs to their 77-year-old dad’s empire, while sibling Barron — Melania’s only child with Trump — is entitled to mere scraps!

Sources say Ivanka’s brothers share her disdain for their elegant stepmom — who they view as a cold fish — and their half-brother, who turns 18 on March 20.
