March 01, 1990| From Times staff and wire service reports

NEW YORK — President Bush has found a rich vein of joke material: the divorce battle between Donald and Ivana Trump.

On a fund-raiser for a Republican candidate in a Staten Island congressional election, Bush said his visit to New York had put him in the midst of "one of the greatest contests of 1990," a battle with "a lot at stake, a lot of money spent on both sides, a lot of press attention."

"But I'm not here to talk about the Trumps."

The President, who received a good deal of positive press when the first dog, Millie, had a White House litter, also offered advice to congressional candidate Susan Molinari:

"Puppies are worth 10 points, easy."
