Ivanka Trump mocked for saying she's been using pandemic to learn guitar, as eight million fall into poverty

Ivanka Trump has been mocked for saying she is using the coronavirus pandemic to learn how to play the guitar, just a few days after it was reported that eight million Americans have fallen into poverty since May.

During an interview on Monday, Ms Trump, 38, who serves as an adviser to her father, president Donald Trump, revealed she has started learning guitar over the last few months.

“For a lot of us during this pandemic, we’ve reconnected to some of life’s simple pleasures — board games, for example. We’ve dusted off all of ours for sure,” she said.

“I took up playing guitar, because my husband [senior adviser to President Trump, Jared Kushner] was working very late nights, I would come home and put the kids to bed and after I went back online and finished my work, I’d be sitting there.
