Ivanka Trump’s ‘Low Point’ Remark Reveals How Flimsy Her Charade Is

With her doe-eyed, bummed-out stare into the face of America today, Ivanka Trump would have you think that she’s some innocent force for good in a turbulent world. What she doesn’t know is that everyone sees her exactly as she is: Cold, hard, shiny plastic.

In a live interview with Axios on Thursday, Trump said that when her father, President Donald Trump, separated children from their parents, it “was a low point” for her in working for the administration.

Now, if reading that sentence alone didn’t make you want to get up from your chair, find a very sharp object, and poke yourself in the eye repeatedly with it, the rest of what I’m about to say probably won’t resonate with you.

However, if you are now back in your seat after said eye-poking and want to read on through the bleeding mess in your field of vision, please go to the hospital. Seriously, you need someone to check that out.

Ivanka made the “low point” statement in a lengthy, albeit rare interview, in which she was looking to clear the air after Daddy Dearest polluted it with such filth as saying that “the media is the enemy of the people.” Though she had enough common sense to refute that fascistic claim, she went full-on victim when it came to policies that have torn people’s lives apart – policies she could’ve stopped.

And here’s where we come to the point: Ivanka Trump is pure goddamned evil. She came on the scene as the beacon of hope kinda-sorta peeking out of the sopping heap of wet garbage that was the Trump campaign – or maybe it was a shiny piece of metal, no one could really tell. Now, we all know it was definitely just the metal, and somehow the Trump administration thinks they can brand that metal as a beacon.

Guys, the jig is up; we know you’re all complete steaming trash, and it’s futile trying to make the prettiest one of you look like an actual human being with a beating heart.

How do we know Ivanka Trump, not only first daughter, but also White House official, is dishonest and corrupted? Well, we ought to look no further than this latest, erm, regret of hers, if we can even call it that. Here, she treats the heinous practice of separating children from their families as a) something she had zero jurisdiction over (please, her own father and husband were directly involved with this policy), and b) something that affected her personally (no). Framing that choice as “a low point for me” makes her sound helpless and subjugated, and she was neither in this situation. She did not speak out when it was happening, she obviously was not personally separated from her own child, and in fact the only involvement she could have possibly had with this issue is if she actually had some moral fortitude and chose to say “Hey, American people, my dad is doing a bad thing, I told him so and you should, too.”

Those are the only grounds on which Ivanka can earnestly say, “Yeah that whole family separation thing really sucked,” and she doesn’t have them. The evil comes from not recognizing that and continuing to condone, with her silence, disgusting policies such as family separation and making it legal for an adoption agency to deny a child a loving home because the two parents happen to be the same sex. (Yup, that happened.)

There’s nothing worse than someone who’s complicit thinking they’re a saint. In the immortal words of Janis Ian, “See, at least me and Regina George know we’re mean! You try to act so innocent like, ‘Oh, I use to live in Africa with all the little birdies, and the little monkeys!'”

Let me guess, Ivanka: It’s not your fault that we’re all, like, in love with you or something?

See, that’s the thing with you plastics. You think everybody is in love with you.
