Everyone’s talking about Ivanka Trump.
More specifically, everyone’s talking about what Ivanka Trump is going to do after her family is evicted from the White House next month and she’s thrust back into civilian life as persona non grata.

First, there were reports that she planned to stage a grand New York society scene comeback. Then there was talk about a possible career in reality television. Now, the latest rumor is that she’s considering a possible run for… Florida governor?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
If you’re like us, you’re probably wondering, “Wait… wha? Why Florida? Huh?” And that’s a very good question. Ivanka doesn’t live, vote, or pay taxes in Florida and, aside from maybe partying at Mar-a-Lago on occasion, she doesn’t appear to have any ties whatsoever to the Sunshine State.
CNN reports:
Talk of an Ivanka Trump run for Florida governor in the near future has come up, as has a possible run for Congress in New Jersey, both states where Trump has vacation homes. The Trump-Kushner family currently rents a home in DC’s tony Kalorama neighborhood two miles from the White House.
Our guess is Ivanka views Florida as low hanging fruit when it comes to winning votes while simultaneously being a place she could actually envision herself living. Unlike, say, Mississippi, where she might have an even easier time getting elected, but which doesn’t have Saks.
A source confirms to CNN that Ivanka “definitely has political ambitions” and “wants to run for something, but that still needs to be figured out.”
A longtime acquaintance of the first daughter adds, “[She] has ambition in her bones. She is driven by getting to the top of whatever it is she wants to get to the top of.”
“Of all the children, Trump is focused on her running,” another source adds. “He sees Ivanka as the heir apparent.”

While Ivanka may be Trump’s favored pick to carry on the family’s political dynasty, Eric’s wife, Lara, is also rumored to be considering a run for office. Last month, it was reported she was eyeing the seat of North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, who plans to vacate in 2022.
Of course, who knows if any of this will ever actually happen? Considering that Ivanka appears to be ensnarled in at least two investigations–one for inauguration spending and another for tax fraud–she may have more pressing matters to focus on than a gubernatorial run in a state where she isn’t from.
Then there’s that pesky little poll that came out last month which found a majority of Republican voters don’t think she should ever run for office and wouldn’t vote for her if she did.
Be best, Ivanka.

If she manages to stay out of jail, Florida might be a place she can get elected governor or senate or whatever because they aren’t too bright down there. (Too much sun, you know.) After all, they did elect deSantis and Jeb Bush, two of the dumbest men on earth. I don’t think not living there would matter. The Kennedy’s have been elected in several different states that they didn’t live in before running for office. All she has to do is buy a house. I think Florida deserves her so I’m all for her running.

Ivanka is no John F Kennedy.
Heywood Jablowme
Yes – to be fair, almost anyone could be a better governor than their current one. Like the average meth addict living under a bridge.

How could you forget Rick Scott. Like Ivanka he is a criminal who stole money from the government in Scotts case ti was medicare. Yes, our govs have been a rogues gallery of horrid peoiple

Ivanka keeps desperately having her P.R. team drop trial balloons to see if she gets any good reactions.
CNN is helping her out by continuously reporting her staff calling them as if they are actual rumors. The fact that the rumors keep changing shows that Ivanka is getting horrible responses to everything she’s tried.

CNN sees her and the rest of the corrupt Dump family as cash cows. Crimes, grifting, treason, no biggie. That network would have been as happy as lottery winners had the Dumps been able to steal the election as its news unit and pundit staff apparently are by their defeat.
They probably have already started dreamboarding November 2024 and praying that Dump pardons himself and the rest of his spawn, that the federal, Congressional, NY State, and NYC investigations go nowhere, and that Deutsche Bank and other creditors don’t call Don the Con’s bluff. If they can shoehorn at least one Dump, preferably Ivanka, into the future GOP political mix, they’ll be very happy.

Maybe she needs to run for Arkansas Senate. Hillary went to New York and did that after the Clinton’s left office.
Den
But Hillary actually had intelligence and political savvy.
All Ivanka has is a good makeup artist and delusions about her talents.
Cam
The Clinton’s bought a place in NY and lived there. The Trumps are terrified to not be seen as stylish and “in”. They would never move to Arkansas, they despise their base.

FOOLS forget that Hillary served the people of this country her whole adult life while Ivanka has done nothing for anyone but herself and her daddy/lover
david-tullis
Many of us in Arkansas do not want any Trump to visit our beautiful state, let alone live here.
Liquid Silver
Maybe not there, but I’m sure she can find a place that will take her and will be good enough for her.
Cam
Good enough for her? So a burning tire fire in a chemical dump outside of Lagos?
JoeFXX
People will definitely vote for her.
Cam
Doubtful. Sara Sanders tried to float the idea of running for Senate in Arkansas and she couldn’t even get it off the ground.

We have to do whatever it takes to ensure no member of that shitstain’s extended family or any of his enablers ever get elected to anything or are ever able to sell anything ever again.
The only reason I want them employed at all is so they can’t go on the dole. Don’t know what they can be employed to do, though. Ivanka, for example, is unworthy to poke the giant ball of fat studded with human excrement and dead goldfish that plugs up the sewer beneath Jackson, MS.

All I want for Christmas is the whole Trump family to just go away!
radiooutmike
Good Lord. Can someone wish them off to foreign country to be never from again?
WTF. WTH, can she offer any state as an elected official or representative? Nothing. She isn’t even like a normal dilettante, where she might express helping the poors as her election motive.
No value added. No substance added.
ShiningSex
She won’t have time. Jail is upon her soon.
Zombiez8mybrain
In all fairness, how is this any different than Hillary moving to NY just so she could run for senate?
Unfortunately, her who family has seen what they can get away with and how they can serve themselves as politicians, and will do the same as other politicians.
yaletownman
She would most likely win. Florida can be quite trashy.
John
Politicians don’t care if they have “lived” there it is IF they can get elected there-
SPEEDOSWIMMER
So, she and kushner are soon to be exiled to Florida…

Not anymore folks! CNN reports her and Jared just bought a 30 million dollar mansion in Florida. Rumour is she wants to run for governor , which is a slap in the face to the current Governor DeSantis who has been a staunch Trump supporter.
As usual Trump will trow another one of his supporters under the bus to move forward his own agenda – trying to get Ivanka into the White House. If he can’t win president himself he”ll live vicariously through Ivanka
