Ivanka Trump tries to stay out of politics
Oh lordy the disconnect, the obliviousness, the lost up a tree with no map itude.
Ivanka Trump, special assistant to the president, told Fox News on Monday: “I try to stay out of politics.”
Trump was speaking to Fox & Friends, the morning show which this weekend broadcast an interview with Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump.
“I try to stay out of politics,” Ivanka Trump said in answer to a question about her father’s use of Twitter to bypass most normal channels of presidential communication. “His political instincts are phenomenal. He did something that no one could have imagined he’d be able to accomplish.
“I feel blessed just being part of the ride from day one and before. But he did something pretty remarkable. But I don’t profess to be a political savant.”
Hey, here’s a fun fact – it’s not a ride. It’s not a family gig. It’s not perks and positions for the whole clan. Ivanka and the rest of the kids are not supposed to be on that ride. It’s a very serious job and the job is the job of one person, not one person and family. Ivanka Trump is in her 30s and was not living at home when Don was elected and she has no business setting herself up in the White House as if anybody had voted for her. Hello? Did no one ever bother to tell them this?
Asked in the interview broadcast on Monday if she ever disagreed with her father – who has, for example, pursued policies on climate change, pulling out of the Paris agreement, that might be thought anathema to a registered New York Democrat, which she until recently was – the first daughter said: “So naturally, there are areas where there is disagreement.”
Climate change, with women’s rights, is part of Ivanka Trump’s White House brief.
“We’re two different human beings,” she continued. “I think it’s normal to not have 100% aligned viewpoints on every issue. I don’t think anyone operates like that with a parent, or within the context of an administration.
“And I think that all different viewpoints being at the table is a positive thing. And I think one of the things that, in this country we
And one thing we have a great deal too much of is the presence of random relatives of a raging narcissist incompetent in the White House.
She’s a (the?) special advisor to the president, but she tries to stay out of politics?
I can agree with that, since I would say I don’t imagine anyone who comments on this blog agrees 100% with anyone else, including the blogger herself…but…
This isn’t about having a disagreement. This is about her being part of an administration that is tearing apart the country, trashing the environment, grabbing women by the pussy, and in general making an enormous mess. And she’s on board. She’s his assistant. She is responsible for the mess, too.
In a sense. In a sense that he can blunder his way into getting elected by doing the exact opposite of what all the pundits say you should do, by doing what they have been saying for decades not to do…those ‘instincts’ were phenomenal.
In terms of actually doing the job? That’s part of politics, too, and his instincts are horrible on that front.
She doesn’t claim to be a ‘political savant’? Such humility.
It’s interviews such as this that show the Trumps have never taken politics seriously. It’s just ego-boosting and brand advertising all the way down.
