She’s not a fan of the Green New Deal’s job guarantee because, “I don’t think most Americans, in their heart, want to be given something.”
Ivanka Trump is a public figure because of her last name. Born into wealth, she had only ever worked for her father’s real-estate companies before he became president. While she and her husband, Jared Kushner, enrich themselves off her father’s turn in the White House, she’s fashioned herself into an advocate for working women — or at least, that’s what she’s tried to do. A person who relied on sweatshop labor to produce her fast-fashion line is not the most obvious choice to represent the needs of workers. And on Monday, the contradictions of Trump’s self-appointed role revealed themselves with particular clarity. In an interview with Fox News host Steve Hilton, Trump disparaged both the Green New Deal and its job-guarantee provision.
