It may be Ivankas tragic circumstance that she was born to an ethically vacant parent, and that forging a bond with him required making herself in his self-image. But it is our tragic circumstance that the man in question is a moral obscenity, a mental flyspeck, a fraud, and president of the United States. In the context of his presidency, her commitment to their relationship requires her to piss down our backs and tell us its raining.
Even if Im wrong about that, the best we can say about her brief tenure as a political operative is that shes awful at it, the kind of source whom reporters would normally take pride in disdaining, except that shes the presidents wealthy, glamorous daughter. But every political reporter will at some point find that such well-placed anonymous sources arent necessarily sources worth listening to. They lie, or they bullshit, or they think they know more than they do, or they self-deal one news clip at a time. Or some combination thereof. Thats Ivanka. If she werent her fathers daughter, hed call her a loser. For the press to give her more credit than that is an abdication of their professional responsibility to the public.

Yep. I'm almost sure that's what pushed him over the edge. It's petty and perverted retribution.
