Ivanka Trump mocked for saying she's been using pandemic to learn guitar, as eight million fall into poverty

Ivanka Trump has been mocked for saying she is using the coronavirus pandemic to learn how to play the guitar, just a few days after it was reported that eight million Americans have fallen into poverty since May.

During an interview on Monday, Ms Trump, 38, who serves as an adviser to her father, president Donald Trump, revealed she has started learning guitar over the last few months.

“For a lot of us during this pandemic, we’ve reconnected to some of life’s simple pleasures — board games, for example. We’ve dusted off all of ours for sure,” she said.

“I took up playing guitar, because my husband [senior adviser to President Trump, Jared Kushner] was working very late nights, I would come home and put the kids to bed and after I went back online and finished my work, I’d be sitting there.

Lying about how down to earth you are, in hopes of daddy staying in power as an example.

Finish her "work". Yeah, right!

That's the code word for her beauty and workout routine, which it has been reported takes a good part of her day.

It's hard living a life of grifted, worthless luxury. She is just doing PR to sound like us everyday folk.

How cute!

It is not by accident that she trolls us with "guitar lessons" at the very time news breaks of how 8 million folks are falling into poverty.

I remember when Mary Trump's audio had their aunt alluding to that cruelty:
“That damn Ivanka puts this picture of the ‘Madonna and child’ on Instagram when the big news of the day was how kids are being ripped from their families,”

……kids all day before you "return home"? So glad you can afford childcare while spending an exhausting day self-grooming, tweeting and shopping.

It's not a group of minimum wage immigrant women, is it? Like your dad uses at his hotels?
