While her campaigning former husband yesterday held a disastrous Twitter Q&A, Ivana Trump was busy drawing crowds at her son's charity event in New York.

The 66-year-old socialite and ex-wife of Donald Trump last night posed for photographs and chatted to guests alongside her sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr, and daughter Ivanka.

The family - minus Donald - had gathered for the Eric Trump Foundation Golf Invitational Auction and Dinner, a prestigious charity event which raises money for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Earlier that day, her former husband had attempted to conduct a Twitter Q&A in order to win over voters.

Unsurprisingly, it spectacularly backfired - resulting in a collection of hilarious queries instead.

Using the hashtag 'AskTrump', Twitter was flooded with more than 50,000 questions within six hours on Monday morning after the floor was opened for questions, according to the Huffington Post.

Some used the opportunity to ask questions about the Republican presidential frontrunner's stance on gun control, the student debt crisis and how he would plan to protect Israel if president.

However others took to Twitter and came up with some amusing responses and hilarious questions from what products he puts in his hair to make it look like corn to if he realizes he looks like a potato.

A large amount of the users mocked Trump for his hair, with a few asking if he hates Mexicans because they have lush, natural locks.

As his open call on Twitter backfired, a good question to ask Trump now, as one user pondered, is 'When you get hold of the person whose idea this was, will there be hell toupee?'
