“Hello, this is Donald Trump,” he said. Emma thought it was a prank.

Trump invited her to “stay at one of my beautiful places” and have dinner.

The call came the same day Emma’s divorce from Kenneth Branagh was finalized.

Emma joked Trump was looking for “a nice divorcee to take on his arm.”

She laughed: “I could have changed the course of American history!”
