“Donald Trump Didn’t Want to Be President” is the headline for the New York Magazine excerpt of “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” by Michael Wolff.
But if he didn’t want to be commander in chief, who would?
His daughter Ivanka, it turns out.
Wolff writes about Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner: “Balancing risk against reward, both Jared and Ivanka decided to accept roles in the West Wing over the advice of almost everyone they knew.
“It was a joint decision by the couple, and, in some sense, a joint job. Between themselves, the two had made an earnest deal: If sometime in the future the opportunity arose, she’d be the one to run for president. The first woman president, Ivanka entertained, would not be Hillary Clinton; it would be Ivanka Trump.”
Steve Bannon would throw water on the notion. In the book, the former White House strategist calls the First Daughter “dumb as a brick.”
Agreeing was Cher, followed by others:

So who was planning on voting for Ivanka Trump for President? I’m hearing that she was hoping to be the first female President of America. Who’s down?

I just mentioned that Ivanka was more likely be visiting Jared in Danbury than she is to be president of the United States someday https://t.co/PXoFg6xo4G

Signs, women like Hillary Clinton makes it look easy running for President as a woman! She made it look so easy, Ivanka Trump think she will be the first woman president. I mean damn do they have elections in prison?
Everyone want a First Woman president, just not that one…..

The whole idea of a Trump dynasty is horrific. Unbelievable that shoe seller Ivanka thinks she has the qualifications to be president. The entitlement of this family is out of this world.
