Ivanka Trump is one of the names being considered to replace The World Bank's outgoing president, Jim Yong Kim, the Financial Times reported Friday.
Before joining the White House, she worked as a vice president of acquisitions at the Trump Organization.
She also directed her own fashion line, the Ivanka Trump brand, which was shuttered last summer.
President Donald Trump also floated Ivanka as a replacement for the outgoing US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, but ended up nominating State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert after concerns of nepotism were raised.



President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, who works as a White House adviser, is one of the names being considered as a replacement for The World Bank's outgoing president, Jim Yong Kim, the Financial Times reported Friday.

The DC-based World Bank, founded after World War II to finance economic-development projects in emerging economies, has traditionally been led by an American. Kim's sudden departure from the bank came as a surprise to employees and leaves the bank's future uncertain.

The Trump administration, which has been wary of and even hostile toward Western-led international institutions like the World Bank, will now be tasked with submitting a recommendation to the bank's board. .............................

1. The masters of the universe.

ugh. this is sheer insanity.

[Power 2 the People]

21. +1000

[guillaumeb]

2. Not the Onion?

On the other hand, Ivanka is as qualified to lead the World Bank as Donald is to be President.

[nilram]

4. So painfully true that I'm crying

[nycbos]

15. I was just about to post that.

[gristy]

30. I thought for sure it was

Sadly, it is not, because I love the onion!

[pazzyanne]

46. If you were trying to be consoling, you just failed - miserably!

[pangaia]

3. Why is trump tasked with recommending somebody?

[onenote]

48. Because he is US president

And the US is a member of the World Bank —in fact the US is the largest shareholder in the World Bank, which is why the president of the Bank has always been an American.

[Codeine]

5. Harry Reid wants to use the government to chase UFOs

while the Executive branch wants to put Malibu Barbie in the World Bank.

What the actual fuck is this world coming to?

[stonecutter357]

56. Is this whataboutism ?

[Codeine]

57. No, it's a reaction to stupidity.

Obviously we’ve got one example and they’ve got about a million, but it irritated me.

[George II]

6. She's not qualified to run this bank:

[CozyMystery]

8. That's for sure. But actual qualifications no longer matter. :-(

[Scarsdale]

47. Obviously, Jarred

did not want the job. He wears so many hats for daddy orange ass already.

[True Dough]

36. Ha ha!

She does possess her daddy's business acumen!

7. Well good for her! We need more ppl that can work with trumf.

9. My "beautiful" money

launderette!

[groundloop]

10. Even if Tiny nominates her there's no guarantee that she'd win the position

From Slate. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/01/jim-yong-kim-world-bank-trump.html

The bank is owned by the world’s governments, with voting shares on its board largely determined by the amount of money they’ve pledged to the institution’s lending arms. Nigeria controls 0.7 percent of the votes, for example, while China has a 4.5 percent share and the U.S. has 16 percent. Officially, World Bank presidential candidates are nominated by board members, and whichever candidate gets the majority of the votes is the winner.

In reality, the U.S. nominee has always been selected, thanks in part to a deal with European shareholders that the U.S. will back the European candidate for the head of the International Monetary Fund if the Europeans back the U.S. candidate for the World Bank. ......

Europe could conceivably end their cooperation with the US in this matter and leave Ivanka out in the cold.

[keithbvadu2]

23. Then Trump should nominate her, listing her qualifications. That should be embarrassing.

Then Trump should nominate her, listing her qualifications.

That should be embarrassing.

[Mr.Bill]

11. How about Chelsea Clinton?

She has a doctorate degree from Oxford in international relations.

Plus, wingnut heads would explode.

[sakabatou]

12. Can anyone say nepotism?

[ck4829]

13. This is a joke, right?

[packman]

14. Shit, why not?

Down the rabbit hole too far to get out

[Mrs. Overall]

16. Breaking News: Fox vows to protect chickens.

[Autumn]

17. Because she knows how to carry a purse?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

19. LOL, Trump-style qualifications. Or, just padding your daughter's resume.

I have this rotten feeling he thinks he's preparing her for high office someday......

[B Stieg]

18. Can you run the World Bank from prison?

Just askin'

[Marcuse]

20. Why not Eric for Chair of the World Trade Organization?

[True Dough]

37. Or for musical chairs?

[Gothmog]

22. she is clearly not qualified

[question everything]

24. If he can be president she can lead the world bank

Eric can lead the SEC and Jr. - I don't know, the U.N?

[GeorgeGist]

25. I have no doubt Ivanka would be quite effective ...

at destroying it.

[louis c]

26. Ivanka Trump will head the World Bank right after her father wins the Noble Peace Prize (NT)

[Siwsan]

27. She got a bachelor's degree in economics, back in 2004. Seems like thin qualifications

And she likely learned everything she knows about 'business' from her crooked father.

[Kali]

28. oh FFS!

[Squinch]

29. One of the names being considered by whom? This seems like bullshit.

[alittlelark]

31. This HAS TO BE A JOKE...... seriously......

........for the sake of my sanity........a joke....right...??!?

[mahina]

32. Jesus Christ, under consideration by whom, the man talking to parking meters?

Mercy!

[Honeycombe8]

33. The gall. "Economic developments"? Like she's not going to rape the countries....

to send whatever money and land and buildings she can over to the Trump Organization? Or hire other relatives and big donors to serve as executives and agents to implement her plans.

I hope the World Bank stands up to him.

The former head of the WTO leaving suddenly gives me Justice Kennedy redux feelings. I wonder if Trump arranged this? A little money in the pocket of someone does wonders to get what you want.

What has happened with Trump, the President, is that The Trump Organization, headed by Trump, has taken over America, and is now beginning to take over international organizations. The Big Kahuna of mobster gangs.

[DoctorJoJo]

34. In Other News, She Is Also the Top Candidate to Replace Mike Pence As VEEP!

[friend of m and j]

49. Ivanka as VeeP could really be on his agenda.

Several months ago I predicted that The Donald would force Spence to retire and give him a lifetime job as a Federal Judge and appoint Ivanka as Veep. My thinking was that would give him more protection from criminal charges or impeachment. If he thought that criminal charges or impeachment was inevitable and imminent, he would resign for "health reasons" and he could brag about all his accomplishments as President including creating the first female President of the US. It would also insure that his legacy and "Trump Brand" would extend into the foreseeable future.
But I think the flaw in that theory is that Ivanka would have to be approved by the Congress. But if Trump can survive in office until the 2020 election and run on a ticket with Ivanka as his VP and win the election the same principles would apply. He would resign in all his glory and Ivanka would grant him a pardon just in case.
As much as we here on DU hate and mistrust Trump it could happen (remember no one thought he would win in 2016). We all need to not jut talk but get off our asses and work hard to make sure Trump doesn't do it again.

[DoctorJoJo]

58. I Was Being Facetious--POTUS and VEEP Are Precluded From Being From the Same State!

[Me.]

35. ENOUGH!

ALREADY!

[dflprincess]

38. I would assume the Trumps just think the World Bank is a giant piggy bank they can loot.

Will this horror never end?

[trusty elf]

39. She can't even multiply 17x6.

Neither can Benedict Donald or Traitor Tot.

[John Fante]

53. Complete nitwits. The whole lot of 'em.

[steve2470]

40. she's not even qualified to balance her own checkbook, much less the World Bank

What a freaking joke.

[trusty elf]

41. ...

[Judi Lynn]

43. Who knew! Thanks for the history lesson. n/t

[Solly Mack]

42. WTF? What the fuck is wrong with the universe?

[olddad56]

44. why not Stormy Daniels

[Hekate]

50. I'd trust Stormy over that little grifter. At least Stormy is honest about her profession...

...and is minus that overpowering sense of Trump entitlement.

[allgood33]

45. Destroying America isn't enough for them. They want to destroy the world.

[AlexSFCA]

51. makes sense: they want to eliminate world bank

so ivanka is the most qualified for that, or anyone from trump family for that matter.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

52. Oh FFS

The Trump kakistocracy rolls on

[Yeehah]

54. Yeah, I heard she was pretty good at Monopoly,

so oughta be a good pick!

[truthisfreedom]

55. Hands on hips is normal now?
