“Find something new.”
That’s the slogan of a new White House campaign launched yesterday by Donald Trump’s favorite daughter, Ivanka.
The coronavirus — and Ivanka’s father’s disastrous handling of it — has left literally tens of millions of Americans out of work and devastated countless small businesses.
And it may get even worse, as federal relief efforts like expanded unemployment benefits and a moratorium on evictions and foreclosures could soon expire.
It is not an exaggeration to say that we are looking at a nationwide economic meltdown as bad as — maybe even worse than — the Great Depression.
And Ivanka Trump thinks it can be solved by perky-sounding but hollow catch phrases.
She actually said (via Twitter, just like dear old dad uses) that it’s a good “time to explore new opportunities” — as if Corporate America is just waiting around with millions and millions of rewarding, high-paying jobs and nobody to do them.
Tell Ivanka Trump:
How about YOU find something new? In Siberia. Your dad knows who to call. Take him and your brothers and Jared Kushner with you. It is time for all of you to explore new opportunities.
Thanks for taking action.
Stay safe.
