ON OUR FAVORITE STATE MEDIA PROGRAM, FOX AND
FRIENDS IVANKA TRUMP WAS ASKED ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING A
PART OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
SHE TALKED ABOUT HOW VICIOUS HER
FATHER'S CRITICS ARE ñ POOR HER.
>>IS IT HARDER THAN YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TO STICK TO THE
THINGS YOU WANT TO DO BECAUSE OF
WHAT KEEPS COMING UP WHETHER IT IS THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION OR
SOMETHING ELSE?
>>IT IS HARD AND THERE IS A LEVEL OF VICIOUSNESS THAT I WAS
NOT EXPECTING.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE INTENSITY OF THE
EXPERIENCE.
BUT THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EASY.
MY FATHER
AND THIS ADMINISTRATION INTENDS
TO BE TRANSFORMATIVE AND WE WANT TO DO BIG, BOLD THINGS.
WE ARE
LOOKING TO CHANGE THE STATUS
QUO.
I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE EASY.
I THINK SOME OF THE
DISTRACTIONS AND SOME OF THE FEROCITY WAS ñ
I WAS BLINDSIDED BY ON A PERSONAL LEVEL.
>> THE HEARTBREAK.
>>I WILL JUST REITERATE SOME OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES FROM THAT.
SHE SAID THERE IS A LEVEL OF VICIOUSNESS I WAS NOT EXPECTING.
SHE SAID I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE
INTENSITY OF THIS EXPERIENCE.
>>YOU CAN TELL BY THE WAY OBAMA'S RETURN TO THAT IT
MIGHT BE A ROUGH RIDE?
>> SHE SAID SHE WAS BLINDSIDED BY ON A PERSONAL LEVEL.
I HAVE A
LOT OF THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS.
ONE OF WHICH IS THAT SHE SAID A LOT
OF THESE STRUGGLES THAT SHE IS DEALING WITH CURRENTLY ARE MADE
UP FOR BY THE PEOPLE SHE MEETS WHEN SHE IS OUT ON THE ROAD,
POOR WORKING CLASS PEOPLE THAT GREET HER WITH SMILING FACES
BECAUSE CLEARLY THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT HER FATHER'S
ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO
TOTALLY FUCK THEM OVER.I DON'T THINK RESPONDING TO THE
VICIOUSNESS OF HER FATHER'S ILLUSTRATION ñ I DEFINITELY
THINK HE GETS A LOT OF HATE, BUT THAT IS JUST IN RESPONSE TO THE
VICIOUSNESS THAT HE IS PUTTING OUT.
THAT IS THE VICIOUSNESS WE
SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT, NOT
THAT IVANKA TRUMP IS GETTING MEAN TWEETS.
>>OF COURSE, HE IS THE BULLY IN CHIEF.
BEFORE HE WAS PRESIDENT
HE WAS TAKING ON THAT GOLDSTAR
FAMILY, REMEMBER THE KAHNS?
WHAT A SUPREME MISERABLE A WHOLE
WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
THAT IS WHO HER DAD IS.
DON'T
LOSE SIGHT OF THIS.
REMEMBER WHO WHEN HE MOCKED THE DISABLED
REPORTER.
THE MAN IS DESPICABLE,
THIS IS HER FATHER.
THEN HE GOES ON FOX NEWS AND SAYS ñ
AND SHE IS SHOCKED BY THIS?
IT DISGUSTS ME.
>>I DON'T THINK SHE IS SHOCKED.
THIS IS A STRATEGY OF WHITE
SUPREMACY, THIS IS HOW IT OPERATES.
PROMOTES AND
PERPETUATES OF VIOLENCE AND THEN POSITIONS ITSELF TO BE APPALLED
BY VIOLENCE.
IT IS NOT JUST THE INSTANCES THAT YOU MENTIONED.
ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE VIOLENT THINGS, AND THEY ARE NOT SUBTLE
THEY ARE ACTIVE.
OF COURSE WE USE IVANKA TRUMP, WE USE HER
FEMININITY, HER WHITENESS, AND HER POSITION IN STATURE TO GO ON
AND TALK ABOUT FEELING
VICTIMIZED OR THE FEROCITY OF ñ
THE VICIOUSNESS OF PEOPLE AGAINST TRUMP.
HE COULDN'T GO ON TV AND SAY HE FELT SURPRISED BECAUSE HE IS
THE EMBODIMENT OF THIS VIOLENCE.
I DON'T BUY IT, I THINK IT'S RIDICULOUS.
I CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH IT.
>> MAYBE IT IS A PLOY AND YOU ARE RIGHT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME
I THINK THERE IS A CHANCE THEY
LIVE IN THIS BUBBLE WHERE THEY REALLY DO THINK THAT WHAT THEY
ARE DOING MIGHT BE RIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I THINK THERE
IS A CHANCE HE MAY NOT REALIZE FUCKED UP
HE IS.
>> YOU CAN'T ñ THE PRESIDENCY CANNOT BE A FIRST JOB IF YOU
HAVE NO TRAINING, BUT YOU CAN IF
YOU ARE TRUMP.
THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBTING WHITE MEN IS JUST
RIDICULOUS.
I DON'T THINK YOU
ARE UNAWARE OF SAYING CRAZY THINGS.
AND THEN WHEN YOU HEAR
CRAZY THINGS BACK TOWARD YOU YOU
ARE SURPRISED.
>>BY CALLING HIM IDIOTIC AND BIGOTED, I'M NOT GIVING HIM THE
BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT BUT I THINK
THERE MIGHT BE A CHANCE HE IS JUST IN THIS SCARY TORNADO AND
PEOPLE ARE JUST TRYING TO MOVE THE TORNADO.
>> I DON'T THINK YOU ARE EXCUSING HIM AT ALL.
>>I THINK BOTH CAN BE TRUE.
IT IS TRUE THAT TRUMP IS DAMNED,
PROFOUNDLY INCOMPETENT, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL HE IS
DOING.
HE IS USED TO SELLING A
BUNCH OF CRAP BASED ON SLOGANS.
HE IS USED TO THAT STUFF SO HE
DOESN'T REALLY KNOW THAT, BUT THAT IS REINFORCED BY THE WHITE
PRIVILEGE THING YOU ARE TALKING
ABOUT.
IN THIS CASE THOSE THINGS COEXIST.
>>ABSOLUTELY.
>> I THINK IVANKA TRUMP DOUBLES DOWN ON THIS.
SHE WAS SAYING I
HAD TO SACRIFICE, I GAVE IT MY
MASSAGES AND SHE'S BASICALLY DOING THE SAME THING HERE ñ
SHE'S FALLING ON THE HATERS
GONNA HATE MENTALITY.
ONE LAST THING, SHE SAYS THE FEROCITY OF
THE PEOPLE, OR HER FATHER'S CRITICS ñ I THINK SHE IS TALKING
ABOUT THE RESISTIVE MOVEMENT AND
I WANT THE RESIST MOVEMENT TO STAY FEROCIOUS.
I WANT THEM TO
KEEP THAT.
>> AND ALSO THE FACT THAT SHE HAS AN OFFICE ñ EXCUSE ALL THE
NEPOTISM THAT IS HAPPENING.
WHY ARE YOU SERVING IN THE
ADMINISTRATION INSTEAD OF ASKING HER HOW SHE FEELS ABOUT HOW HER
FATHER IS BEING CRITIQUED.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY WE BENT THE ETHIC RULES FOR THEM, BUT I
THINK WE BROKE THEM.
SHE STILL HAS BUSINESSES THAT ARE BEING
BENEFITED BY CERTAIN DECISIONS BEING MADE.
TO HAVE IVANKA TRUMP COMPLAINING ABOUT ANYTHING
IS INSANITY.
>>IT IS.
