Added family friend and Avenue magazine columnist R. Couri Hay, “Donald made the best deal for his daughter. The boys get the multibillion-dollar company, and Ivanka gets Washington.”

Calling the Obamas “absolutely nice,” Trump revealed that his first order of business when he steps behind the podium will be to thank the outgoing president and his family for their help with the transition.
“I’m just thanking President Obama, I’m thanking his very lovely wife, because they have been so gracious,” he said. “We’re going to have a tremendous turnout. It’s gonna be — from what I’m hearing — it’s gonna be astronomical.”
Did she whine about her “schruggle”?
That post sure would have benefited from some editing.
Regarding an offshoot story in the blurb.....has Chelsea Clinton EVER worked hard???
Ivanka shopping for IKEA furniture gets good press. this is a smart move putting her front and center, even with Moochie...
Two women talking on the phone for an hour. Dog bites man. This is a story?
when was the last time a republican made the cover of a magazine atr the newsstand that is not Time or Newsweak!
I am LEARY of Ivanka....women are EASILY swayed unless they have VERY firm morals.....and am afraid hers are LIBERAL!! Nice pretty girl and mother, but I donlt trust her like I trust the boys!
A conversation regarding women’s fashion would have lasted about 30 seconds.
Did Ivanka have Barbara Billingsly on hand to translate?
Did Ivanka have a Gutter Talk translator by her side ?
“”Nice pretty girl and mother, but I donlt trust her like I trust the boys!””
The interview Judge Jeanine did with Eric’s wife on Saturday night was very good...she comes across as a real down to earth, genuine person - no pretense...just an ordinary, normal person. I like her. She showed enthusiasm about seeing the WH and spending the first night there like any of us would.
-—Two women talking on the phone for an hour. Dog bites man. This is a story?-—
My thoughts exactly...
She don’t look that fine without a lot of work!
Didn’t Ivanka say Michelle is her hero and mentor?
