Ivanka tells donors she got her moral compass from her dad

At a mid-August fundraiser in Jackson Hole, Wyo., Ivanka Trump was asked to name the personality traits she inherited most from her parents.

Without much of a pause, Trump told the crowd of roughly 120 high-end donors that her mother gave her an example of how to be a powerful, successful woman.

And her father? He passed onto her his moral compass, she said, according to two event attendees.


Refreshing honesty...

............“You have to have a draw to convince donors to write a $50,000 check to come to a fundraiser,” said one close White House adviser. “The president and vice president are obviously a draw, and Melania Trump would be amazing, if she would do it. The next best things are the kids. You have to fill the program with surrogates the donors want to see.”

The difference between the 2020 Trump campaign and the 2016 election is that the Trump campaign now has a more organized infrastructure, with a far greater fundraising prowess including an effort this time to land more deep-pocketed donors.

“They are doing a better job of building a bond with major donors than they did four years ago,” said a Republican operative with close ties to the Trump administration. “The major donor class did not know Trump then because he ran a campaign mocking and attacking them.”

“There is a lot of ground to be made up,” the operative said, “and the kids are very important to this.”

Yes, Ivanka, we all know you are as greedy, soulless and corrupt as your dear old daddy. You just confirmed it.
