Ivanka Trump just had a bumpy start to her Xmas holiday ... an out-of-control passenger on her flight began verbally berating her and "jeering" at her 3 kids. Ivanka was on a JetBlue flight leaving JFK Thursday morning with her family when a passenger started screaming, "Your father is ruining the country." The guy went on, "Why is she on our flight. She should be flying private." The guy had his kid in his arms as he went on the tirade. A passenger on the flight tells TMZ Ivanka ignored the guy and tried distracting her kids with crayons. JetBlue personnel escorted the unruly passenger off the flight. As he was removed he screamed, "You're kicking me off for expressing my opinion?!!" BTW ... Ivanka, her family and bunch of cousins were all in coach.
One of the reasons rich people are rich is they don’t throw their money away trying to impress strangers on planes...
Exactly. The MSM has ginned up the idea Trump is somehow illegitimate as President. These nut-bags think anything goes.
Maybe Ivanka is just frugal.

Maybe Ivanka is just being sensible and teaching her children to “adapt.” When I took my children on summer trips, one night we might be staying in a first class hotel, the next night maybe we were camped out and catching a trout for dinner. Wealthy children should not be denied the chance to see the world from all aspects. That is what is called being “educated.”
I’d bet my bottom dollar he’s already on a “no fly list” .. and has earned it. Good luck now getting to FL or anywhere else for your holiday. And Jet Blue does NOT owe him a refund or booking on another flight. All around loser!!!
Why didn’t some man do something?
Man my oldest boy woulda been throwing punches
No question
My wife woulda been yelling but honey remember your pacemaker
Screw that
I’m mad I wasn’t there
I would not sit there while any man yelled like that to a girl or a child
No effing way
Historically I sure haven’t
I ain’t no millennial
Course it helps being 6/5 237
Some man shoulda spoke up
I agree. It was DEFINITELY a better world!
I hear ya but they have to deal with the realities of liberalism...security should come first.
I hear you. :)
JetBlue released a statement on Thursday morning saying: ‘The decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly. If the crew determines that a customer is causing a conflict on the aircraft, the customer will be asked to deplane, especially if the crew feels the situation runs the risk of escalation during flight.’
It was then noted that Lasner and Goldsten were placed on the next available flight.
Members of Secret Service were on the flight with the family, but did not intervene and instead chose to let the airline handle the issue.
There was a third account of what happened as well from Marc Scheff, the man who was sat in front of Ivanka and with his young son and seemed to be minding his own business when Lasner snapped his photo.
He wrote: ‘He didn’t accost her directly. When he got on and saw her, sitting behind me, he said “oh my god. This is a nightmare” and was visibly shaking.
‘He said “they ruin the country now they ruin our flight!” (Context: Boarding and therefore the flight was delayed because they needed to get on first through some other way)
‘He did not yell. He was also not what I would describe as calm. Agitated maybe. His husband behind him was very calm. His son is adorable and sharply dressed.
‘When the JetBlue staff went back to speak to the man I overheard Ivanka say to them “I don’t want to make this a thing.” My assessment is that she was happy to let the man take his seat. Security made a different call.’
Scheff later wrote: ‘Honestly, if I was her security I would have made the same call. I don’t _think_ the man was capable of violence, sure. But I would worry that he would leave his seat or cause a scene in some way.
‘And his husband had tweeted that he planned on doing that. So, again you know my politics, but I would have made the same call here.’
Or maybe 3 seats together was preferred? The thriftiest people are also the wealthiest sometimes.
“Did he want her to bake a cake?”
Love it! Should be the reply to any Drama Queen.
Aww, the poor thing was “visibly shaking?” Really, he’s afraid of her? Good grief.
Did you see the latest insult?
I say we cut ALL funding to ‘the arts’... I damn sure don’t want my tax dollars supporting this crap... and that goes double for NPR and PBS. ‘Liberals’ would never pay for a conservative radio network for 40 years. They wouldn’t pay for a conservative radio network for a day.
We owe them the same... nothing. Absolutely nothing.
“Artists Want Ivanka Trump to Remove Their Work That Hangs on Her Walls”
I agree. I probably would have wound up tasered and dragged off in flex cuffs, but I would have gotten right in that pervert’s face and backed him down.
