This has gotta sting.
The Trump Freak Show masquerading as a family can denounce NYT, CNN, MSNBC, and the rest as fake news. But let Vogue slap Ivanka upside the head and I’ll bet they pay attention.
Vogue: “Look, It’s Time to Collectively and Officially Give Up On Ivanka Trump”
. . .
Which begs the question: what political capital? Ivanka Trump has displayed none in her father’s White House—and it’s time to accept that there’s a good chance she never will. To invoke the old cliché, if insanity is repeating the same actions over and over and expecting a different result, it’s time to stop expecting Ivanka will do anything meaningful with her proximity to power. It would be pointless to continue to note her silent opposition to her father’s agenda or paint her as a bastion of virtue amid Steve Bannon’s alt-right swamp. She is not going to save us, or anyone else. And she is not going to stand in Trump’s way as he scandalizes Boy Scouts, or sanctions potentially unconstitutional discrimination from the Oval Office.
Ivanka recently went so far as to return to her pre-White House claim that she tries to “stay out of politics.” Another translation? She’s all but given up, and it’s high time we gave up on her, too.
