Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsHave you noticed that Ivanka Trump has no friends?
Have you ever seen her in any photo with a friend or buddy? Her only buddy is Jared.
Jared seems to have is shady-business-bros who probably are not real friends but who have a mutual love of grift.
I have never seen Ivanka out to lunch with the girls, shopping with a friend, playing tennis with "long time friend Suzy."
When she eats out at Trump Hotel -- it's with Daddy and Jared and their group.
Perhaps once they "double-dated" with Mnuchin and Louise Linton.
When she's at the spa - she's alone.
Where are her friends to speak for her in the media? "Well I've been friends with Ivanka since college and she's just the bestest!"
Has any person ever spoken personally for Ivanka except Kellyanne Conway who violated the Hatch Act to tell people to go buy her clothing line?

(4,448 posts)Folks in the media. They carefully craft their image.
If she does have friends, I doubt that they would want to be posing for photo ops along with.
Honestly though - folks that are that wealthy. They have no shortage of friends. (or at least people coming off as a friend)

1 Wendy is (or was at the time) Putins girlfriend
2 Ivanka was supposed to be working closely on her daddys first presidential campaign
What a family.

(15,696 posts)I remember that trip you're talking about. Creepy on many levels, considering Trump said he didn't know Vlad at the time.

(36,461 posts)I'll never get over that he got a security clearance in spite of lying & having to change it over & over & over & over & I'll always believe that he sold state secrets. I loathe them both.
Retrograde
(10,136 posts)Jared could not pass the screening for a security clearance, but Donnie wanted him to have one so he ignored the advice of his security experts and gave him one anyway.
I'm with you, though: I'm afraid he'll actually end up getting away with all the underhanded, felonious things he did while Donnie was in office.

She would go to Daddy for a credit card so she could go shopping with her friends.
The Former Guy would ignore her friends except to ask if Ivanka was the prettiest and most popular.

(16,389 posts)I never really paid much attention, but I believe you are correct.
Maybe she'll make some friends in prison. Martha Stewart was supposedly quite popular with the other inmates during her stay. Of course, Martha taught the other ladies to crochet, and Ivanka probably doesn't know how to do anything that useful. Maybe she can share makeup tips or something!

(51,590 posts)from way back when she was still in college. She said tRump used to check her out and comment on her body. She finally stopped being friends with Ivanks when she decided to work for "a cause/purpose" and Ivanka couldn't understand why she would waste her life that way. However, for at least 5 years they were close pals who led very privileged li es and they were very snobbish. Pretty much as I figured it would be. Soulless, rich young women with privileged lives which they didn't work for.

You're really nonentities unless you're regularly invited to dinner parties, cocktail parties, events by Washington Society.
They were never embraced. And you figure, they would be by virtue of their proximity to WH power.
