Trump Antics, Starring Ivanka And Donald

Donald Trump became a reality TV star from his show “The Apprentice.”  However, he and daughter Ivanka have been starring in their own reality show of late: ‘The Trump Antics.’

Current Events
Ivanka Trump launched her “episode” of Trump antics with one of the most out-of-step and tone-deaf moves in modern political history.  On Tuesday, the Trump daughter used a new ad initiative to tell 18 million unemployed Americans not to worry about their regular unemployment benefits and pandemic supplement running out, because she has a solution:  FIND SOMETHING NEW!

Yes, Ivanka used her inexplicable position at The White House to launch a new strategy meant to boost morale, and she dubbed it the “Find Something New” campaign.  For all the professional actors/musicians/entertainers, sports arena vendors, public venue workers, and other furloughed employees whose jobs won’t be coming back anytime soon, all they have to do is simply find some other career and all their problems will be solved.  Easy-peasy!

“Now, as a result of Covid, people need to, unfortunately, in some cases learn a completely new skill,” Ivanka said during the 30-second spot. “But that is also an opportunity to be put on for a new trajectory for themselves and their lives and we want to facilitate that connection back to the workforce and make it as smooth as possible.”

Needless to say, social media went berserk and criticized her for daring to suggest everyone ditch their life’s work and learn some new skill in time to pay next month’s rent.  So, Ivanka went on the defensive.

“I suggest that you visit http://FindSomethingNew.org,” she barked at her critics.  “This initiative is about challenging the idea the traditional 2 and 4 yr college is the only option to acquire the skills needed to secure a job. This work has never been more urgent,” she added.

Then, in episode 2 of ‘The Trump Antics,’ Ivanka got the bright idea to seize on the support her father received from the CEO of Goya Foods by promoting the product.

On Wednesday, Ivanka Trump thanked Goya’s Robert Unanue by posting a photo on Instagram of her posing with a can of Goya Black Beans and the caption “If it’s Goya, it HAS to be good!”

Later in the day, Donald Trump posed for his own photo-op as thanks to the CEO of Spanish descent, by spreading a plethora of Goya products across his desk in the Oval Office.

Either Ivanka and ‘The Donald’ didn’t know or didn’t care that ethics rules prevent government officials from using their public office to endorse specific products or groups, but they were each in clear violation of the law.

FEDERAL ETHICS LAW:

“An employee shall not use or permit the use of his/her Government position or title or any authority associated with his/her public office to endorse any product, service, or enterprise.

If that wasn’t enough, ‘The Donald’ added his own episode of ‘The Trump Antics’ on Wednesday by telling hospitals across America that the Trump administration will immediately commandeer from the CDC all data and figures (including the number of cases and the number of deaths) related to COVID-19.  This means that Trump himself will now exclusively hold the ability to “cook the books” and either lie about the number of coronavirus cases and deaths, or to simply not release any public data at all.

Or, in other words, Trump can now present fake data that the novel coronavirus is no longer a threat or has miraculously disappeared — just in time for election day!

Make no mistake, the closer it gets to November 4th ‘The Trump Antics’ are becoming more brazen and more bizarre than ever.
