Well folks, there appears to be even more trouble in paradise than just Donald Trump being angry that Mike Pence has a higher approval rating than him. Uh, the approval that's being fought over right now is the approval of Donald Trump himself. And that fight is taking place between Ivanka and Donald Trump jr at least according to a new report by the Atlantic's McKay Coppins. Here's what's happening. According to this bombshell new article from Coppins, allegedly both Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump for the last several years, including during the original 2016 campaign, have been fighting to be the one that their dad depends on, right? They just want daddy's approval. They want daddy's love. They want to be the favorite. And so in their quest for that favoritism, they have both grown increasingly paranoid. And Ivanka and Don Jr are both accusing the other one of planting negative stories about them in the media. One specifically that Coppins mentioned was a story from 20 2018, I believe, or no, excuse me, 2016 he said Trump kids on the campaign trail.
Don Jr wows Ivanka disappoints. Now, according to the report, Ivanka actually accused on Jr of being behind that specific article and then Don Jr called her out for allegedly being the one who was feeding all these off the record negative things about Donald Trump jr to the press, allegedly. Also, at one point, Donald Trump jr came up to Ivanka and said, uh, tell your people to stop being so negative about me and planting these stories in the press. So he outright, according to the sources, accused her and her staffers of doing this. Now here's what's really interesting about this. We know that Donald Trump jr definitely has political aspirations once his father leaves office, he has talked multiple different times about running for office as president of the United States. Uh, he's hinted at maybe he'll run for mayor in New York, maybe he'll run for governor in New York. Brad Parscale. Donald Trump's 2020 campaign manager has warned us that we could be looking at a Trump political dynasty that lasts for decades.
But does Ivanka actually have political aspirations? Could Ivanka actually go out there on the campaign trail and be successful? Is she likable? I think the answer to every one of those questions is no. Now I'm not saying that Donald Trump jr is likable by any stretch of the imagination, but he does have a little bit though probably not enough of his dad's ah brash personality to at least gain some votes. I think Ivanka would fall flat. Now, don't get me wrong, I think they would both absolutely get slaughtered in an election, but I think Trump jr would fare much better than Ivanka would. Ivanka has no personality, she has no likable traits, and she has that slimy little weasel of a husband who probably is going to end up behind bars that at least some point in his life just like his daddy did. So there's lots of baggage with these two kids.
