An irate passenger berated Ivanka Trump and “leered” at her kids aboard a JetBlue plane out of JFK on Thursday morning, screaming, “Your father is ruining the country,” according to a published report.
The man was clearly not happy with the election of Donald Trump as president.
“Your father is ruining the country,” he said. “Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private.”
One passenger on the flight told TMZ Ivanka ignored the guy and tried distracting her three kids with crayons.
The airline removed the unruly passenger, who screamed, “You’re kicking me off for expressing my opinion?” according to TMZ.
The president-elect’s daughter, her kids and some cousins were all flying coach on JetBlue.

The professor’s area of expertise appears to be “landscaping.” I wonder if some nice Hispanic lawn crew wouldn’t consider taking him on? He can clearly shovel it with the best of them.
iOS doesn’t accept “Ze” as a pronoun? How transphobic. That’s awful. (lol)
I'll have to try to read that. Perhaps my public library will have it, so I can read for free. LOL.
But seriously, these people were just normal people who you wouldn't guess had that much money. They weren't misers, but they just didn't throw money around.
My son is in college, and I advised him to spend as he normally would for two weeks, but to keep a small notebook to record every cent he spent. That would give him an idea of where his money was going.
It's not the "big" items that destroy a savings plan for most people. The rent, the car note, the insurance payments... those are factored into their mental budget. It's the small things that can add up, and most people aren't even fully aware of how they can eat up the checkbook.
What kills a budget? Buying lunches rather than brown-bagging... in fact, just eating out period. That daily Starbucks. Taking the family to a Friday night movie, rather than a Saturday afternoon matinee. For young people, it is electronics... getting the newest phone the instant it hits the market. College textbooks bought at the bookstore rather than checking Amazon or another vendor.
I suspect that the Trump family does not think of themselves as royalty, like the Clintons and the Obamas.
A passenger on the flight told TMZ that the passenger was yelling – not talking in a “calm” manner.
Ivanka tried her best to ignore the idiot, as she was with her three children.
Goldstein didn’t confront Kushner, who was sitting right next to her.
Maybe he didn’t recognize him? Or he’s hyper focused on Ivanka, the source of his TDS.
Lasner is a professor at Hunter College and lives in NYC. He’s the author of High Life: Condo Living in the Suburban Century.
Lasner identifies his husband as Goldstein in the book Affordable Housing in New York. Goldstein is a lawyer in Brooklyn and they ‘have’ son named Amos, who was flying with them. IOW, all three were kicked off the flight.
Wait a minute, the perp’s hubby, the Hunter College prof and their son were on the plane with the perp, and the prof did nothing to rein in his spouse?? If so, looks like Hunter College has one heckuva PR prib, too.
I see what you did there. A berkshire hunt = CU&T.
I hope he gets put on the No Fly list.

He is ruining the country and he hasn’t even taken office yet?
These same idiots will blame Trump for the last eight years.
That was not my intent but if the moniker fits ... now that I know the origin of the word, I will no longer use it.
So educated and yet so uncivil.
Where are the buildings he has designed?
I think you would enjoy the book. It’s been a few years since I read it, but I recall one theme was that it was both big and small items in the budget that separated the “millionaire next door” from the family that lives from paycheck to paycheck. Most of the unobtrusive millionaires drove ten-year-old cars, lived in the same, unassuming ranch house for thirty years, stayed married, AND often brown-bagged their lunch to work.
It get’s worse. The Daily Mail always has the best scoop:
“Lasner has been very vocal about his distaste for Trump on Twitter, writing shortly after the election about marching against the President-elect.
He also posted a video when he marched in Chicago with the hashtags ‘#notmypresident’ and ‘#weslay.’
Lasner also retweeted a man who wrote on Twitter: ‘Dear @IvankaTrump + @JaredKushner, there are swastikas being painted across America by people who support your father. PLEASE SAY SOMETHING”
Didn’t realize those were side effects of being tazered, but it makes sense.
Why? She is an adult. The US taxpayer is not bound to provide her protection. I suspect she had her own security detail.
While I understand the sentiment, Obama's Peace Prize was apparently awarded after he was sworn in as President, announced on October 9, 2009, and was apparently nominated just over a week after taking office.
