This New York magazine, uh, expose on Ivanka Trump. Uh, we had talked about it earlier, but I want to come back to it again because theres another important part of it that people need to understand if you havent taken the time to actually read the article. And that is that according to Ivanka Trumps friends up in New York, the people who spoke to New York magazine for this article, Ivanka Trump has no idea that shes privileged. These friends claimed that Ivanka Trump truly believes that she has accomplished everything in her life, that she is accomplished without the help of her father. And even the friends admit that this is a pretty delusional way for Ivanka to go through life. Here is what one of them said quoted in the article.
Ivanka always has to prove to herself that shes gotten ahead on her own without her father
She really has no idea shes privileged. She genuinely thinks shes earned everything she has. She goes on and on all the time about how hard she works.
Now, the friend did say, yeah, hey, she works hard. And she, she goes to the gym and she goes to dinner with friends, which was really, dont classify as hard work for any kind of business, but a, okay, sure she goes to the gym and she eats dinner. Good for her. But the fact of the matter is that Ivanka might be as delusional as her father because Ivanka has not accomplished anything on this planet without her fathers help, whether its her last name, whether its money from her father, whether its her father promoting her stuff, or giving her cushy jobs that she otherwise would not qualify for everything she has, she owes to that man. And that may actually be one of the reasons why she is such a suck up to Donald Trump.
But we have seen this kind of, Oh, I earned everything, even though I never did mentality before. We saw it in George W. Bush. George W. Bush was a complete failure throughout his entire life. You know, went from being a drug addict and an alcoholic failing and bankrupting every company he ever ran. But his dad and his daddys buddies kept giving him more, given him more, and then eventually his dad and dads friends gave him the presidency. Ivanka Trumps the same way. You know, George W. Bush continued to fail upwards and thats basically what Ivanka Trump is doing. She doesnt have the bankruptcys and failures necessarily that George W. Bush had, but she has that same, Im a very good person and very good at job mentality as what we see from her. Thats what her friends see from her when they hang out with her. You know, they also went on to mention the fact that shes very bitter now and that she has no problem just taking things that she believes she is owed. For example, a security clearance that she did not qualify for using her private government computer for official government work or private personal computer, excuse me, for government work. And of course, all of those trademarks that shes won from China because of her position in the White House, they believe that something has changed with Ivanka and that shes now a little bit more just angry and just if she thinks shes owed something, she takes it now, that is reminiscent of another president, the president that we have today.
Good.
So it may have taken her 30 plus years to get there, but Ivanka Trump, according to her friends, is finally turning into her father.

(14,858 posts)Most Americans should consider their privilege of being born in this country as opposed to a much poorer one.
There's many examples from my upbringing when my parents attitude was "you're on your own in this world", much more than I observed among other children and their parents in my neighborhood.
Yet I still take time to reflect on all of the things that I couldn't have done without the help of others. I would've died without my parents (or others) keeping me alive as a baby, for starters.
When Obama tried to remind people of how we're all dependent on the help of others, with the "You didn't build that" comment in regard to infrastructure, it was mostly my conservative coworkers with their DELUSIONS of being "self sufficient" who were the most upset about it.

(9,426 posts)original parts? Fake from head to toe. Wispy voice, batting false eyelashes, never matured. Daddy bought her a "job" as a model, and then had her get extensive plastic surgery because she did not compare to the REAL models. I wonder if that was about the time he was involved with Epstein and the young girls? Maybe Epstein did not find her attractive, so Don the Con tried to "fix" her? What a family. Not one of them is a normal human being. Putin did a great job getting him into the WH. The country is being destroyed from within.

(61,698 posts)for her kids so she can dress up, dine out, and hobnob with other wealthy people is a sign of her privilege, and that she wouldn't have been able to do it without daddy.
Truth is, people like her are afraid to go it alone without family help. Put her in regular clothes, give her another name, give her money equalling the average savings a woman her age in the US has. One month later, see how she's doing.
