Peter Alexander, national correspondent for NBC News, tweeted this detail in a thread Wednesday afternoon, saying, "NEW: ”Jared & Ivanka had made an earnest deal between themselves: if sometime in the future the time came, she’d be the one to run for president (or the first one of them to take the shot)..."

As if they would be the top two choices and it would be up to them to decide who would get the prize.

Comments like this do not surprise me at all.
