Surprise, Surprise — Ivanka Trump Busted Telling Yet Another Huge Lie

Nothing like a little hypocrisy to underline how much of a Trump you are.

Donald Trump’s eldest daughter — yes, he has two — Ivanka served in his administration the first time around. After the conclusion of his first (and hopefully only) term, she made a dramatic announcement about her departure from the political sphere:

“This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics,” she told a cadre of reporters.

But as it turns out, she may have become addicted to the power it afforded her. Well, the power and the MONEY it brought not just to her, but her Slenderman doppelgänger husband Jared Kushner.

During the Trump years, not only did she get to call herself a presidential advisor, but she got millions of views and replies on her tweets, got patents in China, sold voting machines, and even gave Goya brand beans a boost in sales while smiling and holding a can.

Her husband Jared, who also served at the whim of his nepotistic father-in-law, isn’t so sure about re-joining the administration.

That could be because he’s made so much money from the Saudis he made friends with while Don was in the Oval Office. He’s been scrutinized pretty heavily — not to the point of anyone actually doing anything, of course — and a return to the fold would likely cause some skeletons to fall out of the closet.

But Ivanka seems ready for a triumphant return, despite her statements just two years ago. I know, I know…a member of the Trump family told a lie? HOW COULD IT BE? Well, as the late war criminal Henry Kissinger once famously said, “power is the ultimate aphrodisiac”.

Ivanka and Jared’s personal advisors have, well, advised them to wait for a full-throated return to the campaign, indeed to Team Trump, until the GOP convention this summer.

That’s probably because nobody knows yet whether her dad is going to jail, either for contempt, or tax fraud, or inciting the January 6 riots. And even if he DOES, he may still get the nomination and campaign from jail.

Associating yourself with your father is one thing. Associating yourself with an adjudicated rapist and possible felon is entirely another.

Ivanka is smart and pretty (after her plastic surgery AND before as well), and ruthless, just like her father. She knows how t get what she wants. In fact, she’s already getting in some of her famous photo ops, like her trip to Israel in December:

It seems like now, she wants a little more of that power back. Maybe she’s tired of her kids, like her dad.
