Ivanka Trump: I Passed on World Bank Job
Riccardo Savi/Getty for Concordia Summit


Ivanka Trump told the Associated Press Wednesday that President Trump had asked her if she was interested in heading the 189-country World Bank—but that she declined, because she’s “happy with the work” she’s doing now. She said the idea had been raised as “a question,” not a concrete job offer. She spoke warmly of the eventual pick, David Malpass, telling a reporter on her trip to Africa that he’ll do an “incredible job.” When asked if Trump had offered her other high-profile positions, Ivanka demurred that she’d rather “keep that between” them. Trump said last week that he’d considered his daughter for the position because she’s “good with numbers.

WHOLLY UNQUALIFIED FOR THAT JOB. (Sorry for shouting)

She thinks she's all that and a bag of chips (as my kids used to say), but I think she knew that was out of her league.

But she had to put the right spin on it, of course.

"I don’t think most Americans, in their heart, want to be given something. I’ve spent a lot of time traveling around this country over the last 4 years. People want to work for what they get." Ivanka


Ivanka enjoys knowing she will never have to work to earn anything in life.
