Trump kids forced servants to buy lemonade from their stand.

[RandySF]

The New Yorker’s Jia Tolentino has done us all the good service of leafing through Ivanka Trump’s The Trump Card, a 2009 self-help book that allows readers to understand how to get ahead in life with nothing more than a millionaire father and a world-famous surname.

Tolentino’s story is filled with eyebrow-raising anecdotes straight from the mouth, or pen, or laptop, or ghostwriter, of an Ivanka Trump who, on the day of the book’s release, was weeks away from turning 28 years old. But one paragraph in particular stands out as especially, er, quite something.

When Ivanka was a kid, she got frustrated because she couldn’t set up a lemonade stand in Trump Tower. “We had no such advantages,” she writes, meaning, in this case, an ordinary home on an ordinary street. She and her brothers finally tried to sell lemonade at their summer place in Connecticut, but their neighborhood was so ritzy that there was no foot traffic. “As good fortune would have it, we had a bodyguard that summer,” she writes. They persuaded their bodyguard to buy lemonade, and then their driver, and then the maids, who “dug deep for their spare change.” The lesson, she says, is that the kids “made the best of a bad situation.”

1. Wow, and I thought her father was out of touch.

And he is.

[Vinca]

2. Poor kids. I bet they wish dad had a double wide in a park somewhere instead.

Idiots. All of them.

31. He probably owned some trailer parks

he just didn't know it

3. made the best of a bad situation"

Being filthy rich must be such a burden.

[TeamPooka]

13. That leapt out at me too. Talk about entitled brats. Fuck them. nt

[left-of-center2012]

16. And now they'll treat us like their servants n/t

[JI7]

4. scumbag family.

[Solly Mack]

5. Wow. Is this for real?

Is she fucking serious?

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Oh look...little narcissists in training.....isn't that sweet?

So the lesson is that the kids were being clever.

Not that they coerced employees to spend their money on the kids.

[Ilsa]

7. And fraud! They made some arrowheads, buried them in

The yard, pretended to find them. Then they sold them to their friends for $5 apiece.

I don't care that their rich little buddies got taken, but why didn't someone explain to the trump parasites that defrauding people is wrong, and defrauding your friends can get you fucked over?

8. Apples don't fall far from the tree,

learning the shakedown during grammar school..nice.

[awoke_in_2003]

18. Or

The shit doesn't fall far from the bull.

[BSdetect]

9. That says it all. No concept of fairness.

[DesertRat]

10. Ugh. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

11. Oh wow...must be nice to be that rich...or is it?

I know it's not the kids fault they were born with silver spoons but geeze. Most of us would love to be rich...for a day maybe, but not filthy rich. I much prefer to be well off.

[Initech]

12. Donald Trump is the Man In The High Castle. Trump Tower is the high castle.

[Barack_America]

14. Hah! Wow. I actually teared up a bit at their plight...

...the servants that is.

Having to scrounge up change for these insufferable shits.

They probably forced the servants to make the lemonade too.

[Maru Kitteh]

15. Ivanka, rotten, stupid apple from a tree of stank.

[murielm99]

17. This isn't satire?

It's real? If so, it should be publicize everywhere.

Entitled assholes.

[awoke_in_2003]

19. Satire died long ago. nt

[yeoman6987]

27. I doubt the country will do more then yawn

If a guy can brag about assault, you think Americans will get angry over this. Most will say, oh how cute. Poor kids didn't have a way to sell lemonade but were ingenious. I hope I would be wrong but I think I'd be right. We are in trouble.

[Kingofalldems]

28. I think you just posted YOUR thoughts on Trump.

Your constant defense of him has become ponderous.

[tanyev]

20. And the servants totally bought the lemonade because they wanted something to drink

and not at all because they feared their jobs depended on keeping the Trumplings happy.

[kebob]

21. The Imperial Family

[world wide wally]

22. Come on everyone. They only got $500 a week allowance!

A kid's got to do something

[Mc Mike]

23. Schooled in extortion from age 8.

[heaven05]

24. I hate this first fuhrer family

what a spit in the eye they are to every senior in danger, every minority citizen in danger now, every independent woman in danger and every PoC in danger now.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

25. COME PLAY WITH US.

[Mike Nelson]

26. I feel so sorry for...

...anyone who feels sorry for them.

[NastyRiffraff]

29. the maids, who dug deep for their spare change.

You can't make this shit up. The weird and awful part is that evidently Ivanka believes this is an inspiring story.

[Wolf Frankula]

30. Like Parent Like Child

Donald Rump couldn't manage a lemonade stand. It looks like his kids can't either.
