When Ivanka Trump is not hard at work in the family grifting business, she’s “writing” books with all kinds of interesting information, like American slavery is not unlike being a wealthy woman who is trying to be a parent and a CEO. The Washington Post has an article about Ivanka Trump’s newest tome of advice Women Who Work. One of the takeaways from the article is that, not unlike her father, Ivanka Trump says dumb made-up shit to prove vacuous points.

She claims our sixth president said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” Anyone who has read even a single letter by JQA knows that this neither captures his worldview nor sounds anything like him. Ironically, the president tweeted this same fake quote two years ago:
Of course, it’s not “ironic” at all. She’s dumb. He’s dumb. They have lot of money and little time for reality or the history of ideas, or real facts.
