"She's a natural diplomat," Trump told The Atlantic. "She would've been great at the United Nations, as an example."

Sad like a father, not the president of the United States! And she is probably just as much of a "natural" diplomat as you are as President....NOT!

But if he had nominated his daughter -- who is a senior adviser to the president -- "they'd say nepotism, when it would've had nothing to do with nepotism. But she would've been incredible."

Once again, Trump needs to be educated on what words mean!

"I even thought of Ivanka for the World Bank," Trump said. "She would've been great at that because she's very good with numbers."

It's taken out of context and it was a joke right?

Ivanka's about as qualified to run the World Bank as her father is to be "president."

She's calm because she doesn't have a clue what's going on around her, kind of like a goldfish. It's a genetic thing.

I'm good with numbers too, but that doesn't make me qualified to be a banker, much less head of the world bank.

How does being the head of a fashion business with trademarks in China prepare anyone to be a banker? Oh - it doesn't.

Overly proud papa, but daddy's usually get passed that when their kids become adults.

We are all STILL screaming nepotism with her advisory position and forced security clearance that the experts didn't want to provide.

"She's got a great calmness... I've seen her under tremendous stress and pressure. She reacts very well"

Methinks that due to having been around such a creepy dad.

More empty words from the guy looking for headlines. Of course he never considered her.

So liberals hate it which means, she’s overly qualified.

I had no idea you hung out and know her so well personally.

Her qualifications. Can speak Czech. She is Jewish. Good with numbers. Daddy is the boss of the world.

That is an affront to reason. It’s an abomination to logic. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Gosh, that guy has so many blind spots, it's a wonder he isn't walking into walls all day long.

Perhaps he is!

"What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again."

Trump also said Ivanka would be very, very hard to beat if she ran for president.

She could very well become the first female U.S. president, which would drive the left into uncharted waters of insaneness.

Haha!

which would drive the left into

Do you have a vision for the future other than to gaslight liberals?

Haha

At least she looks good on that alone she can get a lot of men’s votes, but put her up against Warren or the other idiots on the Democrat side, she might be more formidable than you think, they laughed at Trump and Trump had the last laugh, but for real though. ROFL!

-3 ( +1 / -4 )

they laughed at Trump 

You laughed at Trump until he looked like winning the Republican nomination.

Why use ‘they’?
