Ivanka Trump is tone deaf and clueless, but in all fairness, she comes by it honestly. Today Ivanka is terribly upset that she was removed from the virtual graduation ceremony at Wichita State University. Her participation was requested in February but announced only a few days ago and in light of the George Floyd protests rocking the nation, WSU chose not to have the controversy of a Trump on the graduation panel and they uninvited Ivanka. (She could ask Mitt Romney how that goes, if she’s not sure.)
So Ivanka is miffed. She went so far as to send her recorded remarks out on You Tube because like Daddy before her, she’s going to share her vapid nothingness with the world, whether anybody wants to hear it or not. Trumps don’t take rejection well, apparently. That’s too bad, because they’re going to see a lot of it come the Fall. Here, without further ado is Graduation Barbie.
Our nation’s campuses should be bastions of free speech. Cancel culture and viewpoint discrimination are antithetical to academia.

Now this next clip is classic. This is Ivanka calling a man stupid because he thinks that money brings happiness. What makes this classic is that it showcases Ivanka’s complete cluelessness about what an insulated bubble she was born and bred in and what a completely unreal life of immense privilege she leads. Marie Antoinette had more sense than Ivanka, I truly believe.
Hey @IvankaTrump have you ever had to go without eating or watch your children go without? Not because you don't work hard, because for the most part, the harder someone works the less they get paid.
Having money doesn't make you happy but it sure it sure helps. #IvankaTrump https://t.co/4toFtmlddj— Says Phoebe (@phe_parker) June 6, 2020
Ivanka wants graduates to know that she feels their pain. She can reassure them from her own dynamic life struggles and challenges. The Guardian:
Seeking to reassure students now facing mass unemployment triggered by widespread shutdowns to curb the virus, the daughter of a New York real estate billionaire opined: “In my own life, I have found that my greatest personal growth has arisen from times of discomfort and uncertainty.”
The announcement of her speech drew immediate criticism, led by Jennifer Ray, an associate professor of photo media at Wichita State, who sent a letter asking school administrators to cancel it. It circulated on social media and garnered 488 signatures from faculty, students and alumni before the speech was canceled, the Wichita Eagle reported.
But others said the event should not have been canceled. Republican congressman Ron Estes said in a statement he was “disappointed” and added: “As Kansas faces many challenges recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic to get back to our booming economy, now is the time for us to be working together.”
The woman is beyond oblivious. She sincerely believes that she has something to contribute to the national discourse. Please, God, let November 3 be the day that the big hook comes out and sweeps these charlatans and buffoons off the world stage. They don’t even know they’re embarrassing. That’s the biggest embarrassment of all.
They should all be locked up in Downton Abbey. Down stairs. Polishing silver and hopping to every time a bell rings from upstairs.
No doubt, the 22nd Century equivalent of such awaits her in her next reincarnation.
Having a clue wow. Having been watching shows for years about people like her. They really are sad because they wouldn’t know how to feed themselves let alone dress themselves. That’s what I’ve always called the poor little rich kids. I’s just sad. They don’t even know how to handle life
It’s going to get worse when she gets older and her good looks fade. It’ll be Betty Draper meets Norma Desmond.
Grant Morrison wrote, “The vital ingredient in beauty is its mortality.” Apparently, the vital ingredient in Ivanka’s thought process is her inflated sense of importance. No sympathy for this ice princess.
As my mom used to say, Pretty is as pretty does.
And as my Grandma used to say, beauty’s only skin deep, but ugly’s tp the bone. Beauty’ll fade away, but ugly’ll hold its own.
Commencement speaker at a University? What qualifies her?? Maybe at a kindergarten graduation.
She’s just a whining little bitch that thinks the world owes her something. Nobody gives a crap about what she has to say.
I really don’t think your being fair in this discussion. If this was
Chelsey Clinton you would be praising her.
How old was she in that video? She has brown hair and a relatively normal vocal delivery, not the artificial, affected one she has now.
