Ivanka Trump laments the campaign was so grueling she didn’t have time for a massage or to meditate

Ivanka Trump has revealed in a new book that the pressures of her father’s presidential election campaign were such that she went into “survival mode” and did not have time for massages or meditation.

Trump, who has been appointed as a White House adviser by President Donald Trump and founded an eponymous fashion business, said she wrote the book, Women Who Work , because she wanted to "debunk the superwoman myth."

"During extremely high-capacity times, like during the campaign, I went into survival mode: I worked and I was with my family; I didn’t do much else," Trump writes, according to an excerpt published by Fortune .

"Honestly, I wasn’t treating myself to a massage or making much time for self-care. I wish I could have awoken early to meditate for 20 minutes and I would have loved to catch up with the friends I hadn’t seen in three months, but there just wasn’t enough time in the day," she continues.

1. And the Gwyneth Paltrow Clueless Entitled Self Aborption award goes to.... (nt)

[mcar]

15. LOL!

Gwyneth was my first thought too.

[Freethinker65]

16. Ha

[forgotmylogin]

33. Having a made-up imaginary position in the Admin is harder than she expected.

If she'd take up golfing with her father, she'd have plenty of free time.

[CrispyQ]

2. Now, imagine if Chelsea Clinton had said this.

What a privileged little shit IT is. How many working women have time to meditate, much less time & money for massages & spa pampering. I hate this family.

[ehrnst]

10. Good lord, yes. (nt)

[NewJeffCT]

13. I remember John Edwards getting a lot of flak

over his expensive haircut.

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. ...

[dhol82]

4. Let them eat cake

Wonder if Ivanka will come to the same end?

[tanyev]

5. Oh, the poor dear!

[Ilsa]

6. She's the narcissist-in-training. Donald

I just don't get why anyone would think the father that inseminated the ovum that produced this spoiled brat would be understanding of the challenges they face day to day.

I like that Gwynneth Paltrow Award of self-absorption idea.

[Miles Archer]

9. I'll never understand how that "stealth liberal in the White House" meme started

OR the "moderating voice of her father's more extreme instincts" thing.

She's daddy's own girl. She pays sweat shop wages to people who churn out crap with her name on it.

[Ilsa]

17. And she adores him and probably encouraged him to run instead

of gently reminding him of his age, his other insterests, how his life would change, and how all of them would become targets.

She's an enabler. She might own some rich white girl guilt, but she is all hat, no cattle.

[ehrnst]

26. She has a lot to gain by being the handler of the president

Especially one who has no interest in ethics.

[Ilsa]

30. Maybe she's just a sociopath, vs "narcissist-in-training." nt

[Tanuki]

27. It's her would-be "brand." She probably paid a consulting firm to come up with it.

[MrScorpio]

7. The apple didn't fall that far away, did it?

[Nonhlanhla]

8. This is just heartbreaking

The poor dear...

[FSogol]

11. But she did have time to vacation in Russia with Putin's girlfriend. Why doe the media allow her to

lie nonstop.

[Solly Mack]

12. Poor dear. Was the nanny off the day IT wanted a massage?

Assuming they allow the nanny to have off days.

Did the maid wash her yoga pants on the morning she was hoping to meditate?

Could not her social secretary message her friends to let them know that IT still cares?

Why, oh why, must life be so seemingly perfect for IT - on the outside - when behind the scenes other women are working so hard to prop up Ivanka Trump! How awful for IT to feel the pressure of being a superwoman and how ungrateful are those who allow her the opportunity! They don't understand how hard it is for IT to maintain the image their labor allows her to maintain! It's so unfair!

Leave Ivanka alone! Let her proclaim from the penthouse rooftop that she is not a superwoman and that sometimes, when the help is taking an off day, she has to pour the milk herself!

Well, unless the temp agency has a part-time replacement.

14. Butterfly Princess Grifty Sof-Tone (TM) apparently had a rough campaign . . .

Poor dear. Tragic!

[crazycatlady]

18. I'll take "Why we need an estate tax for 500 Alex"

[Buns_of_Fire]

19. Next up: Beavis and Butt-head whining that things were so hectic

that they didn't have time to go out and shoot any endangered species.

[Initech]

20. Cue the Sad Hulk Music.

[CottonBear]

21. I fucking hate Ivanka Trump. Boo fucking hoo!

I don't have the time to meditate or the money for a massage.

Hell, I'm lucky to get 6 hours of sleep per night. You know, what with working two jobs and raising an 8 year old as a single parent.

Every month Trump & the GOP threaten to take away my goddamn ACA health insurance that I bought on the federal exchange.

I am freaking stressed out and I make less than half of what I made pre-recession and losing my professional 9-5 job in my career field.

[CountAllVotes]

28. +1,000 !!

n/t

& recommend!!

[sarah FAILIN]

22. I'm surprised she didn't catch pneumonia

Having to cut back like that...

[bdamomma]

23. rotten apples

do not fall far the tree. Rather delusional isn't she???

[underpants]

24. But she had time to write a book?

[PA Democrat]

25. Poor baby! Ivanka's "survival mode" sounds SOOOOOOOOOOOOO challenging.

I know a LOT of people who could teach Ivanka a thing or two about "survival mode." She is nauseating.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. She Went To Such Expensive Schools. . .

. . .and she doesn't know what the word "grueling" means? Huh? Would have thought that high price education would have fit that definition in there somewhere.

[Eyeball_Kid]

31. My tears won't stop flowing. I have to wear a towel around my neck.

Poor victim Ivanka. What a suffering life. She had to miss her massage while rubbing shoulders with all of her clients-- heads of state, all of them. I'm so sad.

Ivanka, what's an emolument? Do you think it's a kind of massage oil?

[ATL Ebony]

32. Well you should have plenty of time now, stop pretending to be a politician . . .

or someone minutely experienced and/or knowledgeable about politics. And tell your dad to stop f'ing with things he knows nothing about (and to ignorant to accept it as his personal shortcomings) -- he's not staying long anyway but seems he's going to kill us all before he leaves. Geez

[obamanut2012]

34. Boo hoo, Eva Peron

[GallopingGhost]

35. I'm getting a massage today.

It's on my list between scrub toilet and deworm cat.

[CountAllVotes]

36. Worming the cat comes first

Scrubbing the toilet comes second. After this work, you want a freaking massage? How dare you be so greedy and self-serving!

Good luck worming the cat btw; hope you don't lose an arm, eye, etc. during this process! *eek*

[GallopingGhost]

37. It's a Siamese with anger issues.

I may need reconstructive surgery instead of a massage.

Just kidding; I have no cat. But I do have to scrub the toilet for real.

I may reward myself with a couple of Oreos, the favorite junk food of Trump-hating liberal snowflakes.

[smirkymonkey]

38. Oh, the humanity!

Poor, poor Ivanka! I can't imagine the struggles you have been through. What a strong person you must be to endure such hardship!

She's just like her pathetic, lazy-ass father. They think a life that includes any kind of effort on their part is just terribly unfair. Everything should just be handed to them and there should always be someone around to cater to their every whim. Meanwhile, do everything in your power to make sure that life is a misery for hard-working Americans who are already suffering and struggling and just trying to stay alive. God, they are revolting! Bring back the guillotine!

[niyad]

39. whahhhhhhhhh. self-inflicted deprivation, you clueless disgrace to the female population.

[dalton99a]

40. The asshole might just give her a Purple Heart for her patriotic devotion and personal sacrifice

[GeorgeGist]

41. The buffoon didn't fall far from the tree.
