Ivanka Trump Reveals She & Jared Kushner Purchased A Private Island In A New Interview
When people think of the Trump family, aside from the infamous President and First Lady, another notable figure that stands out is his eldest daughter, Ivanka, who has been a businesswoman and a former advisor to him.
Over the last few years, anytime she shares behind-the-scenes photos and videos of her and her family's lavish lifestyle, she's begun receiving criticism and backlash, with users calling her out for being 'tone deaf' to the times. Things were taken up a notch when she appeared in an interview with David Senra, titled "Ivanka Trump on Building an Authentic Life." As they chatted, she admitted that she and her husband, businessman Jared Kushner, purchased private land off the coast of Albania, Sazan Island, during a recent vacation. With critics sarcastically calling it a "fixer-upper," the couple has plans to make $1.4B rennovations and convert it into a luxury resort.
"We were on a friend's boat, and we stopped for a swim—effectively, that's how we found it," she said. "We swam to the island. We went on a hike, barefoot all the way up to the top, and we were just captivated."
Social Media Users Slam Ivanka As 'Tone Deaf' After Talking About The Island
After the podcast aired, it didn't take long for social media users, especially those who have been avidly against the Trump family for years, to hone in on the private island story the former model told during her interview. The story made it as far as The Daily Show, where the late-night series host called her "out of touch" and joked about the expensive, private property being described as an "impulse buy," which drew even more attention to the situation.
Now, on various platforms, from YouTube to Instagram, users are beginning to leave intense comments about Ivanka and Jared's extravagant purchase, and how it serves as another reminder of the different lives their family lives, separating them from the average American.
"This is upsetting," commented a YouTube user.
"Frankly, it's pretty difficult to look beyond Ivanka's pathetic self-centered interview here," wrote another. "She and Jared are cut from the same cloth as Trump and the Trump family. Corrupt to the core bone. Ivanka lives in a fairyland bubble in her sordid head. She fools no one."
One user called Ivanka "the queen of tone deaf," as another wrote, "Not another private island for elites!"
"An authentic life," commented a user, referring to the podcast title. "Right. Authentically unethical, corrupt, divisive, and tone-deaf."
