Ivanka Trump surprised by 'viciousness,' 'ferocity' of father's critics

Of course she did, but those were Dems who thought Dad was one of them and so the viciousness was not on display. .....

Pretty much spot on. Being petty creatures by nature, they were falling all over themselves to "hang out" with DJT, and happy to take his money too.

Not only that, but the viciousness against Trump has been unprecedented.
I am 74 and have seen a lot of Presidents, but I have never seen the display of ignorance posed by the Democrats against this President.
Not only the President but his family.
They have attacked every person he has proposed for a job .

It went so far that they tried to run down a man for the Supreme Court who they anonymously accepted before.
The hypocrisy and ignorance seems to have no bounds.

Trump is doing exactly whet I voted for him to do.
Sure some of it hurts, but that is where his courage comes in.
Any time you take money away from people who shouldn't have had it in the first place---expect them to cry.

As many have observed - far too many of his current critics - and publications criticizing him - were all too cozy with him in the not too distant past.
Pick someone and you can probably find a shot of them with Trump in his pre-political days. They all liked him just fine.

I think I might also be surprised at the level of viciousness someone might hurl at MY dad - if it had come from someone he might have once called a *friend*.

There is a huge difference between by or donating his way into social circles in New York to being an incompetent President.

think about it I am sure your views of him changed since then too.


I used to know him as a tacky crass New York millionaire.


Now I know him as a man who watches Tv all day and gets angry and tweets his frustration out in unintelligible language. I know him as a man who has a problem keeping well qualified individuals in his cabinet. He is the very definition of un presidential.

I hope his behavior bothers you to the point of insanity. Eight years should be enough time.... ;-)

I'd bet an awful lot that your caricature of him bears little resemblance to reality but exactly squares with the left's propaganda.
I just don't see how a man like him can accomplish what he has by being an inept couch potato.
We're still just four and a half months in and you somehow "know" all this. Simply amazing.

hey its the BIG LIE - Joseph would be proud


Well I remember how much the right told this narrative about how Obama didn't even start work until around nine, and knocked off promptly at dinner time.
That he spent as much time just playing basketball or watching sports or entertaining himself and his family as he did his job.
And especially how he seemed to just avoid the responsibilities of the Presidency and simply enjoyed the perks.

And - they clearly oversold that.

Previously, the Dems portrayed Dubya as a dimwit who had never opened a book - until those with him were clear that while he wasn't up on the classics, he read a lot.
Or that Cheney really ran the White House - until those part of his administration said oh hell no - Cheney is more serious in his demeanor - but Dubya is the alpha male.

I'm not buying that a man worth billions is some dim-witted cantankerous fool who tweets all day and watches TV.
Just because you don't agree with someone or don't like him doesn't mean he doesn't work hard.

If Trump were as incompetent as the left portrays him, they'd just shut up and watch him sink himself. They know that he is effective and that terrifies them, so you have this 24/7 onslaught of negative reporting on the same damn issues (Russia, Russia, Russia) in order to drown out what he is accomplishing daily. The progressives loathe what he is accomplishing, and knows that your average American would approve as well. So it goes unreported and the "lazy, sitting in front of the tv" narrative is pushed. It is my hope that it backfires, and the media again gets egg on its face during the next election cycle.

Did you see his most recent proclamation today that he has accomplished more in the first four months then any president other than FDR. Do you think that is what a sane person says ?

Besides EO's and Gorsuch what has he accomplished? Almost nothing.

And he has directly tweeted about news reports on foxnews as he is watching so it's not a caricature. It's the truth

Who are these average Americans? Have you seen his poll numbers ? Do you think only Trump voters are average Americans?

He may be good in terms of real estate and marketing but do you know how many of his business have failed? How many times he has declared bankruptcy?

How many times he has declared bankruptcy?

Exactly zero.

Like many - most even - very active and aggressive entrepreneurs, he has owned/acquired businesses that did fail, and legal bankruptcies are the ONLY way you dissolve or reorganize them. Duh. You non-business socialist types don't know anything about that world.
