Ivanka Trump lost her appeal and is officially set to testify in the fraud trial against the Trump Organization.

She claimed she’d face undue hardship because it’s during the school week.

What?

She’s got a husband. I bet she still has a nanny - she mentioned having one in her book. She’s got two brothers that aren’t going to be testifying at the same time.

The kids will be in school for 8 hours, and literally any one of those people could watch her kids for the remaining time. Normal people have to deal with this all the time.

She’s literally using her own children as a shield for her lies, those poor kids.

She probably hand bakes cupcakes for the parent teacher conference, and writes each teacher’s name in icing using a plastic bag with a hole cut in it.

No, I read one of the many ridicule reviews that are quotes pieces. In this quote, she said that most of the good pics she has of her kids came from the nanny during the day.

I haven’t read the article, so I’ll continue to assume the baby sitter was intended for Jared.

They probably don’t go to school, rich kids either get shipped off to a live in school or are taught in house by a nanny of sorts.

Ivanka is likely to be less coy about her father’s business dealings, according to Mary, who believes that the heiress will “tell the truth and throw him under the bus,” since she’s “legitimately wealthy” without her father and doesn’t need to rely on him.

Lemme go out on a limb and predict that this won’t happen.

Yeah doubt that’ll happen. Though this next quote seemed pretty accurate.

“They’re going to have to walk a very thin line between obfuscating in a way that’s not perjury and appeasing their father’s ego so that he doesn’t throw them under the bus when he testifies, which of course he’s going to do no matter what they do,” Mary Trump said … referring to the two sons.

Yeah… regardless of her independent wealth, what does she stand to gain by doing that? Maybe if she was paid to do it, but not for free.

She could even hire a SE Asian worker directly instead of using the middleman slaver. They’d never send a Saudi. She could even be nice and let them keep their passport but that would take having a conscience.

What scares me about Ivanka is that if she stays in politics she’s likely to be Trump’s heir to the Maga throne. Sure Trump is an idiot and will die soon, but she’s smarter than him and can be president, as lots of “centrist” will jump to her over her dad

Somehow I get the impression she’d rather stay far away from political office after dealing with dad. Don Jr is more likely to try and fail on that front. She’d rather find a good sweatshop in China and start a new clothing line.

No, the money is still in politics you just don’t make it until you have a name and then fuck off into the private sector.

She doesn’t havea combination of toxic masculinity and an inferiority complex driving her to a self sabotaging rage, so I doubt she’ll tilt at too many windmills.

I actually thought she meant her school. Which maaaaybe, kiiiinda made sense (apart from her helping fucking up the lives of many Americans.)

But it’s her kids’ school? What a lousy, lousy excuse!
