How much would you have paid for an hour with Ivanka?

An auction offering the highest bidder “30-45 minutes” of time to meet with Ivanka Trump was cancelled Friday after it came under scrutiny.

According to a report by the New York Times, the fundraiser was cancelled after questions were raised by ethics experts about the special access to the incoming first family it appeared to offer bidders.

Earlier Friday, the Times reported that many of those who had placed bids on the auction wanted access to Ivanka Trump in order to communicate with her father's incoming administration. The charity fundraising page was taken down without explanation later the same day.

The fundraiser said the money raised would go to the Eric Trump Foundation to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. According to the Times' report, bidding reached $77,888 before the page was removed.

I have no desire to meet or talk with any one in the Trump family.

I would not answer the front door for the majority of politicians.

Not likely. She's probably too much of a pod person.

$1,000,000/minute for the first ten minutes and $5,000,000 for every minute thereafter, and she wouldn't be allowed to speak during that time.

perhaps more than $78K, but I certainly would NOT be offering quid for access that'd be in every newspaper in the nation. And, like all the rest, I'd be lining up when the time was appropriate.

Loved Eric, btw, claiming the only losers in canceling this were the poor, sick children. Something you could fix in seconds by just whipping out the ol' checkbook, Eric.

if she agrees to honestly answer how much it creeps her out having her father openly and publicly fantasize about her.

Hospital would be the ones suffering because the "auction" was cancelled. The truth is that his so-called "charity" is just as flagrant and fraudulent in funneling money to his family's businesses as his scumbag dad's. For example, $880 thousand collected in the name of Idiot Eric's "charity" went to Trump golf properties:
