Rumors that Ivanka Trump is eyeing a run for the Florida governorship began swirling late last week. It seemed far-fetched at first, considering that she’s never lived, voted, or paid taxes in Florida, but now those rumors just got kicked up several notches.
Page Six reports that Ivanka and Jared have reportedly put in an offer on a $32 million plot of land on Indian Creek Island, also know as the “Billionaire’s Bunker”, in Miami, where the couple plans to build a lavish bayfront estate.
The island, which is about an hour’s drive from Mar-a-Lago, is private, guarded, and gated, making it one of the most secure neighborhoods in the city. It also has its own 13-man police force for just 29 residences, as well as a 24/7 armed boat patrol.
It is believed that Ivanka and Jared purchased Lot 4, which is listed at $31.8 million with a tax bill of $472,764 per year. The lot measures 1.84 acres and has a 200-foot stretch of private waterfront.
How about we take this to the next level?

Page Six reports:
A source familiar with the deal told us that Ivanka and Jared had been on the hunt in Florida, as many of their friends have moved out of NYC to Florida and the Hamptons, saying: “The Kushners have been looking to purchase property in Florida for quite some time, and will also maintain their home in New York.”
The sale is scheduled to close next Friday.
Florida’s next gubernatorial election won’t be until November 2022, so it makes sense that Ivanka would begin setting down roots in the Sunshine State now. That way she can spend the next two years working on building a political coalition.
A source confirmed to CNN last week that the first daughter “definitely has political ambitions” and “wants to run for something, but that still needs to be figured out.”
A longtime acquaintance added, “[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 noted. “He sees Ivanka as the heir apparent.”
Of course, who knows if any of this will ever actually happen? Considering that Ivanka is currently ensnarled in at least two investigations–one for inauguration spending and another for tax fraud–she may have more urgent matters to focus on than a long-shot gubernatorial run.

no more non-qualified candidates!!!

Oh please, they’re going to Florida because houses can’t be seized to pay creditors during a bankruptcy if you live in Florida.
Her P.R. team regularly tries to leak out B.S. like this.
peterluthy
Their lot won’t qualify for “homestead” protection, which only applies to lots less than or equal to a half acre. Their lot #4 is 1.8 acres in size — too large!
Cam
@peterluthy
LOL! I bet they didn’t check!!! Unless it’s outside a municipality, then it can be up to 160 acres.

This is the second time you’ve referred to Ivanka paying taxes in Florida. But there is no state income tax in Florida.
rock9221
Property taxes are very real in Florida.
Essie
No state income tax but property tax is VERY high.
Doug
I seriously wonder if by now Florida is still stupid enough to vote her in.
dhmonarch89
….Yes….
Essie
Yes. Yes they are.
Joshooeerr
Seventy million Americans voted for Trump after four years of solid evidence of his incompetence and indifference. And you’re still asking if people are that stupid?!!
PoetDaddy
NOTHING is too stupid for Florida.

I find Ivanka attractive and I’m sure that she’s intelligent, but in no way is she qualified to run for POTUS or even VPOTUS.
Cam
Actually we have no proof that she’s intelligent. Her business failed, and in any interview she hasn’t shown that she has a deep understanding of anything.
barryaksarben
I think she is very unattractive as she has dyed her hair and had a ton of facial work done making he look unnatural but hey to each his own. No matter what she looks like she is in no way qualified to hold a major office. She has no political experience and her company failed badly even with her father threatening stores like NOrdstroms who stopped selling her crap because it didnt sell well enough. She also was sued for stealing shoe designs by a internationally famous shoe maker. Her dishonesty is a deal breaker for me but hey obviously it isnt for many as her father is nothing but a liar and a cheat

I keep hearing rumors that the Florida Governor is planning on running over Ivanka Trump. So she better hope she gets incarcerated first.
dhmonarch89
well- that’s one way to flatlin the state’s economy…can you imagine the boycotts??
zealot
I was going to ask if you can run for governor in Florida if you’re in jail…but reconsidered. I’ll just say that this country and each state should institute a set of competency and ethics tests for prospective candidates immediately. People like the Trumps and all their ilk view this country as their personal ATM, and every dimwit they can convince that the Democrats are communists will see to it they get unlimited access.

BUILD THAT WALL!!! (Around Florida, that is…)

The Only thing Ivanka is qualified for is servicing her daddy.

This is entirely expected as an adult child of a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. There is usually a “Golden Child” who learns to support the narcissistic parent no-matter-what. They bolster the narcissist and often develop similar narcissism. The lesson Ivanka has learned is the politics is nothing be empty platitudes and slogans and does not actually involve learning anything or serving people other than herself. Sad and scary…
I encourage everyone to read Mary Trump’s book who is a trained psychologist.
LumpyPillows
God, I can’t wait for these Trumps to go away…jail preferably.
Roy Moss
Suicide is the best thing Ivanka could do for the world but, barring that, Florida is a good place for her. It’s a garbage state filled with lowlife redneck trash – just the place for the Trumps.
Jbaltes
There goes the neighborhood! Who the hell would want these pieces of trash as their neighbors! Florida deserves them!
Phillip
My goodness she’s not intelligent enough to become one, but that hasn’t stopped any of them from becoming governors.
Thad
Ron DeSantis is hardly a great governor. Ivanka could do better. But Florida is known for dubious politicians (Marco Rubio, really?).
cuteguy
After their current governor Rom Disaster, this banana republic proves that they will vote ANYBODY into office
Cam
It’s disturbing how Trump wants all the women in his life, including his daughter to have the standard porn star styling. Oversized fake boobs, makeup too heavy, especially eye makeup as you can see on Ivanka and especially Tiffany, overly processed hair, if they go blond they go too blond, those whispery baby voices.

She’ll win. The racist mind controlling Cuban/American mafia that runs Florida have a political debt to Trump and her being anointed governor will be the payoff. Not only did Obama start negotiating to restart diplomatic relations with Cuba to give our farmers another market to sell their produce many younger Cubans (fifty and below) whom have no personal recollections or emotional ties to the island thought it was a good idea and wanted diplomatic relations. If that happened that would mean that the Cuban mafia had no boogey man to point to and their power over the immigrants whom have enjoyed a free ride upon arrival since 1959 would end and they are having none of that. They handed Florida to Trump in 2016 with the promise of his ending those negotiations and thats what happened. This ventriloquist dummy is just what the doctor ordered.
dougie
Can you blame her for such aspirations? After all, she saw her totally incompetent, corrupt father get elected to the highest office in the nation, so she figures that she’s got a shot at the governorship.
Prowelsh56
Once again the MEDIA will pick up on this and give her and the Trumps all the free media coverage. Exactly how Trump did in fact ” Trump” the media. The media is hungry for any story. Please ” stop making stupid people famous.” as we have seen there are certainly enough folks in Florida to make it happen. So what position will Donald Jr run for ?
trojanboy
Lock her up.
woodroad34
She probably looked at Pam Bondi and said to herself, “I can do that. I’m blond, a bimbo, and amoral — Cinch!”
alex1435
She’s put together visually but that’s about it she is an idiot like the rest of her family. If she ran for governor that would kind of screw Ron DeSantis, this guy loves to kiss trumps ass, but surely a bad after taste if she runs for governor.
Roger Doremus
She’s barely qualified to work the morning shift at Hotdog On A Stick.
