| Ivanka Trump |
Make America Great and Glorious Again!!!!! That’s all you got, Donald.
Geez. No wonder staffers at Mar-a-Lago were handing out packets of No-Doz during your announcement that you are running for president once again.
Trump’s low-energy and boring speech had had people wondering: Why?
He can’t even generate enthusiasm for his campaign from his closest advisor. Here is what former First Daughter posted on Instagram.
I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.
While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena. I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and I will always be proud of many of our Administration's accomplishments.”

At the podium, Trump talked about a fantasy America that exists only in his mind.
“America has been mocked, derided and brought to its knees, perhaps like never before,” he said without providing a clue to what he was referring to.
He blamed the “decline of America” on “Joe Biden and the radical left lunatics.”
Trump spoke just after his endorsed candidates were repudiated by midterm-election voters who preferred those so-called lunatics.
The Cook Political Report found that Trump-endorsed candidates tallied five percent less of the vote than non-endorsed ones.
NBC News says of the most competitive races, 42 Trump-backed candidates won and 29 lost. Not exactly a sterling performance.
Those losers include Kari Lake and Blake Masters (Arizona), Mehmet Oz (Pennsylvania), Adam Laxalt (Nevada), Lee Zeldin (New York) and Don Bolduc (New Hampshire).
So why is Donald running? Alyssa Farah Griffin, his former White House director of strategic communications, says her old boss is unfit for office and is a clear and present danger to democracy.
My hunch: Trump is running to sell MAGGA hats, shirts and other junk to the cultists who make up about 40 percent of the Republican party.
Ivanka has more of a chance to become president than her dad.
