Trump Just Explained The Real Reason Ivanka Won't Serve In His Administration Again—And Honestly Same

Donald Trump gave Bret Baier a blunt explanation for why Ivanka will not serve in a second Trump administration.

Former Republican President Donald Trump's children apparently won't be a part of his hypothetical next presidential administration, according to an interview with Fox News reporter Bret Baier.

In response to Baier's question about whether Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner would be part of his administration again, Trump told Baier Ivanka being part of his last administration was "too painful for the family."


Trump said:

"I said, that’s enough for the family. You know why? It’s too painful for the family."

He went on to further lament the supposed suffering of his family.

"Nobody has been through what my family has been through."

Trump was especially upset by his daughter's decision to close her failing self-titled clothing/lifestyle brand in July of 2018.

"When I did this, she was really—she closed it up. She sort of felt she had to."

It is worth noting this decision came after a significant amount of controversy after Trump became PPresidentwhen Ivanka branded products were featured in press briefings.

It also followed a noteworthy decline in the brand's sales.

Ivanka said last year she would not be involved in her father's future political ambitions, choosing not to become involved with his 2024 Presidential campaign.

She told Fox News Digital:

"I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics."
"While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena."

Trump was not getting a lot of sympathy on Twitter for how "painful" his presidency was for his family.



Both Jared Kushner and Ivanka drew criticism for the money they made while serving in the Trump administration.




Trump also expressed concern for his middle son, Eric Trump.

Eric was deeply involved in both his father's campaigns and his attempts to overthrow the results of the 2020 election.

Trump said of Eric:

"He’s a fine young man, good student, good everything, comes in. We’re doing beautifully, then I decide to run for president. I mean, I don’t think anybody in the world in history has ever had more subpoenas sent to him."

There is a good reason for those subpoenas, though, as Trump currently faces more than 70 felony charges between two active indictments—one in Manhattan's federal court related to "hush-money" paid to Stormy Daniels and the second related to classified documents he removed from the White House, retained at his Mar-a-Lago Social Club well after the end of his presidency, concealed after request of the documents return and issued legal filings lying about them.

Judge Aileen M. Cannon—a Trump-appointee who will be presiding over the proceedings in the second trial—set an aggressive schedule for the proceedings. She ordered the trial to begin as soon as August 14, 2023.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
