Helen Mirren Dismisses Ivanka Trump as Out-of-Touch Fluff, Hopes Melania Will Take President Down
People ^ | 8/15/2017 | Char Adams

Dame Helen Mirren has never been one to bite her tongue.

The 72-year-old Oscar-winning actress gave her thoughts on First Lady Melania Trump and Donald‘s right-hand woman Ivanka in a new interview for the August issue of Allure — and, naturally, didn’t hold back.

“[Ivanka] talks a good game, but there’s no substance,” Mirren said. “Her book [Women Who Work] is so ignorant about how the majority of women live, talking about ‘Make time for yourself to have a massage.’ Puh-lease.”

As for Ivanka’s father, Mirren says Donald is “less of an extremist than he lets on.”

“[Donald] just said and did what ever it took to get what he desired,” Mirren said. “That is quite terrifying, because it means there’s a lack of morality there and a lack of conscientiousness.”

The president’s administration has been marred by scandal, firings, resignations and low approval ratings. But, according to Mirren, if there’s anyone who can stop the embattled leader, it’s Melania.

“You look at old Mel there, and she is one of the most powerful women in the world because she could take him down. She almost did that with the hand,” the actress said, referring to a May incident in which the First Lady swatted her husband’s hand away as they landed in Israel.

“I’m Eastern European, you know; [we’ve] got these dark souls. That dark Slovenian soul is about to come out.”

Fitting that the Caligula woman would be on the side of the Democrats.

Guess what....My daughter is one of these busy, working mothers and makes time for a massage. In fact....she takes her busy grown daughter with her.

Of course, not everyone can afford a massage....but lying on the beach for a couple hours, or gardening, or going to the quiet of the library can have the same effect.

Ivanka is right.

Actors, is there anything they DON’T know?

I’m pretty sure Ivanka could run intellectual rings around Helen.

Actors are constantly conflating intelligence with political opinion-espousing.

I haven’t heard anything from her in 25 years.

You should see the full-court press LinkedIn is running against DJT this morning.

Just because you’re a ‘Dame’, Helen, it doesn’t mean you are intelligent. Please.....just act. Why not just let people speculate about your stupidity, instaed of spouting out and removing all doubt?

Might there be just a little bit of anti-Semitic loathing leaking out there, with the dismissal of Ivanka Trump?

Ivanka is what she is, and in so many ways the most ameliorating factor in Donald Trump’s world, softening and re-directing his most blunt and sometimes controversial opinions and conclusive statements. Melania is rightly noted, however, as the one who has the greatest personal effect on the President.

Helen should just go play pretend and leave the rest to people who live in the real world.

"“[Ivanka] talks a good game, but there’s no substance,” Mirren said."

Oh! It's substance you want?
Like the vast depth of substance you displayed in this quote?

"I’m a naturist at heart. I love being on beaches where everyone is naked. Ugly people, beautiful people, old people, whatever. It’s so unisexual and so liberating."

*That* kind of substance?
