In reply to the discussion: Ivanka Trump Had Deal With Jared Kushner That She'd Be First Woman President, New Book Claims [View all]regnaD kciN
(26,990 posts)5. How is this a surprise...?
I've been saying this for the past year. Should Trump manage to steal a second term, come 2024, he'd make sure Ivanka got the nomination to succeed him. And, as the potential "first woman president" and "first Jewish president," the reasoning goes, she'd have a good chance of grabbing a lot of votes from two reliably-Democratic voting blocs.
Obviously, this will all go for naught if Daddy's popularity keeps skidding along where it is today. But in the event of something like another 9/11, it isn't impossible to see Mad King Donald benefit from The Dubya Effect, wherein any president will get a yuge popularity boost if they can present themselves to a terrified nation as the one person who can save them.

"suggesting Ivanka could run maybe in fifteen years. Or as they say locally, ten-to-fifteen years.

I believe this is why Trump ran in the first place. Daddy's Little Girl wanted to be President.
