Trump wanted to make Ivanka head of the World Bank.

According to a report from the Intercept's Ryan Grim and Max Ufberg, former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was forced to intercede when Donald Trump proposed appointing his daughter Ivanka to head up the World Bank.

"As the White House moved to select its new leader, one name very dear to the Trump's heart kept floating around: his daughter Ivanka Trump," the reports states while noting that rumors of the appointment had floated about at the time, with Ivanka demurring and telling reporters she was "happy" advising her dad in the White House.

As the Intercept is now reporting, "...two sources, not authorized to speak publicly, tell The Intercept the talk of Ivanka at the helm went far beyond the realm of Beltway chatter: Trump very much wanted Ivanka as World Bank president, and it was Mnuchin who actually blocked her ascent to the leadership role."

I have no words.

1. There Wouldn't Have Been A Penny Left If Ivanka Got Her Hands On THat Bank

[Irish_Dem]

32. My thoughts exactly. Only one reason Trump wanted Ivanka in that job.

Obtain all kinds of financial benefits.

2. FFS! n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Reminder: Trump also wanted Ivanka to be his running mate,

and had to be talked out of that, albeit let's say he was quite reluctant.

4. Lordy, what an idiot.

[Tommymac]

12. He wanted her to be his playtoy too.

Sick perverted excuse for a human being.

7. Stopped clocks.

14. A liar and a cheat, but he's not stupid.

[JI7]

16. He didn't have much choice

[JHB]

31. A WB presided over by Mobster Barbie would have affected his own investments

And not in any way he would like.

8. I have plenty of words. Most are not fit for polite society, much less DU.

[milestogo]

9. Yes that's kind of like being the Queen of Shoe Shopping.

At least in her little mind.

[MyOwnPeace]

27. A superb, like 'for sure' analysis.....

of like, you know, someone who has certainly earned her way into the inner-circle of government by way of, like, you know, having someone own part of that circle - or arc - or whatever that shape thing is that they can maneuver to make, like, lots of money...............

11. I heard he defended the possible action by saying that she was "good with numbers"

A basic understanding of arithmetic, along with an ability to read and write, are definite requirements for the job, so she had that going for her.

[Celerity]

23. she knows what 10 is

[ailsagirl]

13. I guess I am really not surprised...

considering dump and his crackpot mind.


But also !!!!!!

[malaise]

15. I'm sure I read that here at the time

Typical of these grifters

17. "It came incredibly close..."

From the link:

“It came incredibly close to happening,” said one well-placed source.

I almost wish the orange narcissist had followed through. Just to see the galactic pants-shitting by the GQP when they found out. And to see who would come to the aid of a failed shoe and handbag “entrepreneur!”

18. Christine Lagarde+Ivanka +youtube

[2naSalit]

19. Of course he did...

Why do you think she was so giddy at the international events and that look that Christine Leggard gave her as if to say, "Don't even think about inserting yourself here" was clear she wouldn't be well received at any post.

The wannabes from hell.

20. That's like making Porky Pig Secretary of Agriculture. n/t

[Celerity]

21. the current Porky has had less 'work' done though

then there is daddy

[Haggard Celine]

24. Or human traffickers in charge of the Dept. Of Transportation.

Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell would have been perfect for the Trump administration.

[spanone]

22. Of course he did. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

25. This was reported back when Trump was in the white house.

Why do people feel the need to regurgitate Trump white house bullshit?

[MyOwnPeace]

28. Well, there is a certain 'anger'

that people, especially on this site, choose to voice because of who-knows-what might be bothering them now.
Based on what reactions they are seeing now from the current administration, I'm guessing - and this is my own opinion - that some people still have some issues from the past that they are looking to see resolved. It seems that there are some that simply can't stand the idea of serious issues being "swept under the rug."

But, as I said, that is just my own opinion.......

30. so we can say- we told you so.

[canetoad]

29. Don't forget unwanted Ivanka

(Ok, that last one was real)
