Ivanka Trump Returns to Instagram With a Photo Shoot Pretending to Be a Good Person
The former first daughter would like you to know she’s very charitable in her free time.
By Bess Levin
January 18, 2022


One person who Donald Trump’s time in the White House really hurt was Ivanka. Sure, millions of people were affected by the 45th president’s terrible policies—from the children taken from their parents under his heinous family-separation policy to the transgender people who lost their health protections to the hundreds of thousands who literally died on his watch—but the first daughter saw her political and social aspirations take a hit—an outcome that, she’d likely argue, is much, much worse. Whereas she and Jared Kushner moved to Washington reportedly believing it would be just a few short years before she’d become the first woman president, those plans have been put on hold thanks to, among other things, her dad lying to the public about a virus that has now killed more than 5.5 million people worldwide, and that business of encouraging his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol and overturn the election.

Necessarily, that‘s forced Ivanka and the ole ball and chain to lay low this past year, save for a misguided attempt to reenter polite society before being promptly told to fuck off. On Instagram and Twitter—where the former first daughter once regularly cosplayed as a person with an actual job—she’d been completely silent for a record eight months. But on Tuesday, she apparently felt a pull too strong to stay away. You know the pull we’re talking about: the one whispering, “Don’t even think about doing something good for others without posting about it in an attempt to start rehabbing your image.”




According to the New York Post, Trump was in Rochester, New York, on Friday helping distribute food boxes with Chobani founder Hamdi Ulukaya, which is obviously a worthy thing to do. Less clear is how posting several stylized photos of the event after the fact—and with no information for people who may still be looking for food assistance—helps anyone but herself.

A walking, talking promoter of herself. I wonder what she'll wear to her fraud hearing in NY. Hopefully an orange jumpsuit will be her next photo shoot.

was empty. Just a prop for a photo shoot.

A box that size filled with typical groceries (produce, canned food, dairy products) would be quite heavy.

This is evidence that America, and quite possibly the entire world has not only crashed through the Looking Glass, but we are now using the broken shards to slit our fucking wrists.

Every fiber of my being, from the deepest depths of my soul, to the tips of my male nipples in the frozen-food section at Harris Teeter, knows with a crystalline, pure spar certainty, that I should NOT BE REQUIRED to give ONE-FUCK what this soulless, hell spawn "Netherworld Barbie" has to say about fucking anything!

My intellect, my psyche, my conscience, my decency and grace...all tell me that I shouldn't even be required to know who in the fuck these people are.

I know that these lifeless, grifting, vapid, empty vessels deserve NOT ONE SECOND of my serious thoughts.

These spray-on-tan, Loreal of Bakersfield, plastic, Axe-Body Spray wearing morons SHOULD BE THE MOST FUCKING INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE WE EVER ENCOUNTER.

Their impact on our lives should have the same effect of a fucking gnat blocking the path of a charging rhino.

I will NEVER forgive fucking Donnie Shit for Brains voting morons for requiring me to take seriously A FUCKING BUNCH OF IGNORANT FUCKSTICKS that should NEVER be taken seriously

This fucking family and their supporters, are like dog-shit stuck in the grooves of your tennis shoes.

So she was on the ground for what, fifteen minutes? BTW, those boxes are empty.
