Ivanka Trump: 'There is a level of viciousness that I was not expecting'
Source: CNN
Ivanka Trump said Monday she is surprised by the "viciousness" of the media covering her father's presidency, referring to the growing "cloud" of distractions resulting from the Russia probe.
President Donald Trump's daughter and top adviser also said on "Fox & Friends" that her father felt "vindicated" by James Comey's testimony last week before the Senate intelligence committee, in which the former FBI director said there was no investigation into Trump personally during his time at the FBI.
"My father felt very vindicated in all the statements that he's been making and feels incredibly optimistic," she said. "With all the noise, with all the intensity of media coverage and obviously what makes headlines, ultimately, we're really focused on why the American people elected Donald Trump as president."
Asked whether it was hard to get things done in light of the ongoing Russia investigation, Trump admitted she was "a little blindsided" by distractions she attributed to media "ferocity

I think most of us here are all surprised by the viciousness--but it's the viciousness of the right wing media and the viciousness of Trump, his gang, and the Republican party that has surprised most of us.

And they deserve it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake
"Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", supposedly spoken by "a great princess" upon learning that the peasants had no bread. Since brioche was a luxury bread enriched with butter and eggs, the quote would reflect the princess's disregard for the peasants, or her poor understanding of their situation.

(6,241 posts)Ivanka's dad showed toward President Obama. You know... questioning if he was born in the US or Kenya. Yeah.. the respect of saying that the first black president wasn't a black American. He was a foreign born fraud, out to destroy America.
I think we're just scratching the surface of the viciousness we could show toward trump. And all of it would be 110% earned by him.

(101,322 posts)What the fuck did she expect? His campaign and presidency have hatred as their foundation.
Since then, he's demonized the religion of nearly 2 billion people, accused the father of a rival of being part of the assassination of a US president, been revealed as a sexual predator (something Ivanka admits herself), and his National Security Adviser has turned out to be a literal foreign agent. The Republicans, with Trump's support, are proposing taking away healthcare from twenty-something million people.
He spent the campaign encouraging his supporters in cries of "lock her up", and walked a fine line between joking about having protesters beaten up and actually encouraging it.
He's withdrawn from an international climate agreement, putting the lives of hundreds of millions at risk.

(51,574 posts)It is the facts they are reporting that are vicious to your father. And that is because your father is doing vicious things.
Ivanka, you are a lying grifter like your father. For you and your crime family, the truth hurts, as it should.

You're complicit in the family's dirty deeds and think most of us are too dumb to see through you.

(562 posts)Trump is using his children as mouthpieces for his propaganda. They're literally tools.
Each interview is an opportunity to get information.
Don Jr. is a particularly juicy target, with inside knowledge of Trump's Russian ties who consistently contradicts Trump.
Here are some interview questions for Ivanka -
"Why did your husband meet with Russian banker Sergey Gorkov"? "Did he know the bank was subject to sanctions"?
"How did you meet Wendi Deng, Putin's girlfriend"?
"Have you ever met any Russian officials or businessmen?"
"Why don't you manufacture your merchandise in the US instead of China"?
"Your father said in 2005 '"You know Im automatically attracted to beautiful I just start kissing them. Its like a magnet. Just kiss. I dont even wait. And when youre a star, they let you do it, you can do anything.Grab them by the p***y, you can do anything."' If someone other than your father said that, how would you react?
But these are softball interviews and I strongly suspect the Trumpsters are not allowing questions about Trump's business dealings, etc. In fact, it looks like journalists are just given questions to read.

(22,037 posts)Perhaps Ivanka should talk with her friend, Chelsea, about vicious attacks. During her father's presidency, Chelsea was a teenager and Republicans treated her with complete derision. Infamously, John McCain told a disgusting "joke" that focused on Ms. Clinton.
Perhaps Ivanka should read some of the things her own father has been saying for the entirety of his life, especially about women.
Perhaps Ivanka should take a deep breath and take an honest and searching inventory of her own self.
Ivanka is such a tender, precious and delicate snowflake. Like her stupid father, she's an idiot.

(21,893 posts)this is a quote from her stupid book:
Perception is more important than reality. If someone perceives something to be true, it is more important than if it is in fact true. This doesn't mean you should be duplicitous or deceitful, but don't go out of your way to correct a false assumption if it plays to your advantage.
