Of Course Jared and Ivanka Think They’re the Duke and Duchess of South Florida
Unfortunately for the couple, actually royalty thinks otherwise.

One of the most irksome features of the Trump administration, besides the racism and the mass casualties from COVID-19 and the insurrection was the elevation of Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law to senior positions in the White House, despite them literally having no business being there. Entirely lacking in any self-awareness whatsoever, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner clearly didn’t see things that way, and thus thought it totally reasonable for them to advise the leader of the free world without having any relevant experience between them. (No, the Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry line doesn‘t count.) That’s how Kushner horrifyingly became one of the key players in the government’s coronavirus response, and how Ivanka was able to sit alongside so many world leaders as though they were equals that this fine outlet was able to get a whole slideshow out of it.

While the former first daughter reportedly, and disturbingly, believes she could be the first female president, it’s quite clear that this duo views themselves not as former aides to the president of the United States with designs on higher office, but as something significantly more regal than that, having spent years cosplaying Prince and Princess of the Contiguous United States. Except, obviously, they’re not, as an anecdote from a new book by Stephanie Grisham, former White House press secretary and former chief of staff to the first lady, neatly demonstrates. Per The Washington Post:

[Grisham] is particularly negative about the president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner—both of whom held senior White House positions. She wrote that the first lady and White House staff called Ivanka “the Princess” who regularly invoked “my father” in work meetings, and Grisham dubbed Kushner “the Slim Reaper” for his habit of inserting himself into other people’s projects, making a mess and leaving them to take the blame.

Tellingly, Grisham writes that Ivanka and Jared tried to push their way into meeting Queen Elizabeth II alongside the president and first lady, a wild breach of protocol on a state visit, but were thwarted when they couldn’t fit into the helicopter. “I finally figured out what was going on,” Grisham writes. “Jared and Ivanka thought they were the royal family of the United States.”

After four years of watching the poster children for nepotism actively damage the country with their own incompetence, it’s nice to hear they were on the receiving end of a diplomatic “you’re not on the list.” In fact, it’s almost as gratifying as world leaders visibly asking themselves, “Who is this and how did she get in here?“

1. Her experience was doing cheap rip-offs of actual clothing designers'...

work and his was being a slum lord of his convict father's properties...and all of a sudden they were nepotized as advisors to a questionably elected President of the US.

Only in republican America.

2. If you want to be taken seriously on the international stage, a good start...

...would be not wearing a flowered pink dress with floppy sleeves.

4. I could watch that video over and over again just to see her

humiliate herself. They're paying no attention to her and she has that phony smile at the end.

7. The expression on Mme LaGarde's face is priceless

It's as if she knows she SHOULD look that way (toward the dipshit), but that way is only ignorance and crappy knockoffs, and she doesn't want to. But because she has old world manners, she relents and looks anyway!

5. Nothing has changed as far as their entitled attitude goes.

They will believe they are better than everyone else for the rest of their lives, no matter how far they may or may not fall. They were raised by their parents to believe this and this is part of their permanent personalities. Nothing will change them at this point. They are narcissistic monsters, liars and grifters and that is in their blood. No matter how they may be chastised by the public, the press, etc. they will not accept it, just like the fucking moron. They do not live in a real world and they do not behave or have feelings as normal people would.

6. Maybe they need their carpet vacuumed

8. They should be the royalty of Riechers Island

For the rest of their lives.
