IVANKA TRUMP'S EFFORTS TO REHABILITATE HER IMAGE BEFORE LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE
Donald Trump's daughter appears to be concerned about how she will be welcomed back into society when her father leaves office.
When Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner took their first jobs in the White House in 2017, they surely thought that eight years later they would return to New York and be crowned king and queen not only by an exclusive social group or by the entire city, but by the entire city. world. Vogue would bring them out in their September issue. Billionaires would beg them to sit on the boards of their companies to gain credibility. People would yell "I love you Javanka!" when they walked down the street. Politicians would constantly ask them to run for president. Penguin Random House would enter a war to publish his memoirs, telling the New York Times: “That 65 million that we offered to the Obamas? Chips compared to what we will sell for these two ”. When presented at large conferences, people would say of Jared, "And now please welcome the man who brought peace to the Middle East!" World leaders would do the opposite of putting on a "who the hell is this person and why is he here?" Face. when the president's daughter spoke to them.
Instead, they have been unceremoniously evicted after only four years, with significantly worse reputations than when they started. To be clear, no one has yearned for an audience with the couple before Donald Trump was inaugurated, but neither were they denigrated among people whose opinions once and surely now also matter. Only a small part of Manhattan is said to be looking forward to his return now. "Anyone with a minimum of self-respect, a career, values, respect for democracy, or whoever does not want their friends to judge them in public and in private will be left out," an old friend of the couple told Emily Jane Fox, something that probably has to do with the separation of immigrant children and possible prison sentences and her disregard for the victims of the coronavirus in New York.
Not surprisingly, the outgoing first daughter seems to have started an urgent damage control plan, trying to prove, through tweets that should be accompanied by corroborated data, that the Trump Administration is not the worst people. For example, on Thursday, Ivanka wrote this:
FACT: Greenhouse gases generated by the U.S. will slide 9.2% this year, tumbling to the lowest level in at least three decades. @EPA
— Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) November 24, 2020
"FACT: US-generated greenhouse gases will drop 9.2% this year, dropping to the lowest level in at least three decades @EPA" (Ivanka Trump)
… Which might sound impressive if it weren't for the fact that there is a reason why the amount of greenhouse gases has dropped and that is that his father (and her husband) really screwed up the country's pandemic response, leading to his death. than 250,000 Americans and to a situation where no one can go anywhere. As USA Today explains:
... the study said that US emissions have been declining since 2008, mainly thanks to less dependence on electricity in the coal sector. "In fact, we estimate that without COVID-19, emissions would have been 1% lower in 2020 than in 2019," the study said. "This implies that COVID-19 by itself has lowered US emissions by 8% in 2020."
Too:
The study included a caveat to its results: "2020 saw a large increase in fires in the United States and, if they were included in our analysis, their emissions partially offset the drop in emissions from human activity." Wildfires are another source of carbon dioxide emissions in our atmosphere. "The fires in the United States in 2020 are part of a global trend, since 2019, more and more forest fires have occurred in temperate zones," the study explained.
News of falling greenhouse gas emissions is not necessarily something to celebrate. "The amount of pain we have had to go through to get to a relatively modest decline shows that there is a need to adopt smarter policies and think the same way about emissions," Ethan Zindler, head of BloombergNEF in America, told him to the 'Washington Post'. "The emphasis doesn't have to be on how to reduce demand, but on how to make supply greener."
Of course, if Ivanka's father had won a second term, something that he definitely has not achieved despite what he says, he would continue to try to bury the planet, something that he has actively tried to do since he arrived in Washington.
Also Tuesday, Ivanka, like his father, apparently attempted to suggest that the Trump Administration should be recognized for the Dow Jones Industrial Average hitting a new high:
Strangely, Ivanka did not mention the fact that his father had claimed that the stock market would crash if Biden were elected:
... Nor did he mention that the reason the Dow is on the rise is that investors seem to be relieved that Biden is going to be president.
In any case, despite Ivanka's efforts to rehabilitate her image, it appears that the couple has read the graffiti on the wall and is supposedly planning to spend less time in their old city than they did before 2017. As reported by the New York Times:
Officials in the city of Bedminster, NJ, have the plans for a possible future for the Trump family, or at least the blueprints: a major addition to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's home on the grounds of the National Golf Club. of Trump, four new 'pickleball' courts, a relocated helipad and a 'spa' and yoga complex. While Manhattan waits to know if the Trump family will return, Ivanka and her husband seem to be making their plans elsewhere: a Garden State secluded behind gates with security perhaps or Florida, where President Trump is renovating his Mar- a-Lake.
"In a strange way, they will have a worse time than Trump himself," Donny Deutsch of New York told reporter Elizabeth Williamson. “He is detestable but larger than life. The other two are the unfortunate henchmen who accompanied him ”.
