https://www.rawstory.com/ivanka-world-bank/According to a report from the Intercept's Ryan Grim and Max Ufberg, former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was forced to intercede when Donald Trump proposed appointing his daughter Ivanka to head up the World Bank.
"As the White House moved to select its new leader, one name very dear to the Trump's heart kept floating around: his daughter Ivanka Trump," the reports states while noting that rumors of the appointment had floated about at the time, with Ivanka demurring and telling reporters she was "happy" advising her dad in the White House.
As the Intercept is now reporting, "...two sources, not authorized to speak publicly, tell The Intercept the talk of Ivanka at the helm went far beyond the realm of Beltway chatter: Trump very much wanted Ivanka as World Bank president, and it was Mnuchin who actually blocked her ascent to the leadership role."

It came incredibly close to happening, said one well-placed source.
I almost wish the orange narcissist had followed through. Just to see the galactic pants-shitting by the GQP when they found out. And to see who would come to the aid of a failed shoe and handbag entrepreneur!

(16,940 posts)that people, especially on this site, choose to voice because of who-knows-what might be bothering them now.
Based on what reactions they are seeing now from the current administration, I'm guessing - and this is my own opinion - that some people still have some issues from the past that they are looking to see resolved. It seems that there are some that simply can't stand the idea of serious issues being "swept under the rug."
But, as I said, that is just my own opinion.......
