Ivanka Trump says she opposes the Alexandria Ocasio Cortez-spearheaded Green New Deal because she feels, deep down, that people prefer to earn money rather than having it given to them. At a certain point, one has to wonder if shes doing this on purpose, or if shes really so far up her own ass that shes tasting her Skinny Vanilla Lattes twice.
The First Daughters comments came during an interview with Fox News Steve Hilton, which will air in its entirety on Sunday. Trump believes that the Green New Deal will fail because people dont want a higher minimum wage or a jobs guarantee. I dont think Americans, in their heart, want to be given something, she whisper-sang at Hilton.

Ivanka Trump hasnt earned a thing in her life except a permanent ban from the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, and maybe by the end of her fathers term, lifetime VIP status at Cracker Barrel.
If I had to venture a guess, Id say Ivankas targeting of AOC and the Green New Deal is part of a broader Republican strategy to seize upon the socialist part of the New York representatives democratic socialist ties. Socialist policiesuniversal healthcare, a higher minimum wage, universal childcare, subsidized green infrastructure projectswork just fine in plenty of other places and are more popular stateside now than theyve been in decades, but if we try anything that even hints at wealth redistribution, the reasoning goes, were proposing that old ladies stand in a line to wait for bread and children eat rats. We so much as agree that we are collectively responsible for each others well-being and were basically Venezuela. Its kindergarten-level political apples-and-oranges, but right now, its all theyve got.
