TinyShoes gave her his moral compass
At a mid-August fundraiser in Jackson Hole, Wyo., Ivanka Trump was asked to name the personality traits she inherited most from her parents.
Without much of a pause, Trump told the crowd of roughly 120 high-end donors that her mother gave her an example of how to be a powerful, successful woman.
Uh, no. Her mother was married to Donald Trump. Not powerful, not successful.
And her father? He passed onto her his moral compass, she said, according to two event attendees.
His…………
What could he possibly have shown her? What could it be, that she mistook for a “moral compass”?
Ivanka Trump‘s comment about the traits she inherited from her father echoed a similar comment she made at the Republican National Convention in 2016, when she told the audience: “My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass.”
But he didn’t though. We know that. He has no “positive values” and he sure as hell doesn’t have a strong ethical compass. All his compasses point to him. His idea of just and right is whatever is gratifying or flattering or profitable to him and painful to his enemies. Princess Ivanka is probably telling the truth that he taught her to see things the same way, but that’s not what anyone else would call “ethical.”
Upon which announcement, the catering staff was immediately requested to count the spoons.
“Without much of a pause, Trump told the crowd of roughly 120 high-end donors that her mother gave her an example of how to be a powerful, successful woman.”
Wait, what? Her mother gave her 120 high-end donors, and that’s an example of how her mother was a powerful, successful woman?
My brain reads funny when I first wake up.
Ivanka is usually able to rely on her idiot brothers to make her look intelligent by comparison, but this is an illustration of how she is hardly an artful politician. As repulsive as Donald is, she could have found something to credit him with teaching her that wouldn’t provoke gales of laughter. Like, “my father gave me my drive for success, taught me to be bold, etc. etc.”
True…although, it may be almost as tricky to say things like that, because we will think “yes drive for success at any price,” “yes be bold and trample all over people” and the like. I doubt there’s anything about him that isn’t equivocal in that way. I’ve seen one or two of his friends say he can be very amusing when he’s in a good mood, but 1. I don’t believe it and 2. not my idea of amusing I bet.
And, let’s face it, she can’t say “My father gave me his hair”. Because no one would want that.
I think wherever Ivanka goes, people need to carry and display broken compasses.
Wow, “marry rich” is so inspiring.
What are the four compass points on the Trump moral compass? I’m guessing Nastiness, Egotism, Selfishness, Wickedness.
Trick question. No matter what the compass points indicate, the needle of Trump’s compass always points to himself.
