Seriously?

Another claim from Omarosa Manigault Newman's explosive new book Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House is making the rounds. This time it's less about embattled President Donald Trump and more about his daughter and one of his senior advisors, Ivanka.

According to Manigault Newman, Ivanka was frustrated after seeing an SNL sketch parodying her perceived complacency to her father's words and policies. The sketch had Scarlett Johansson playing Ivanka in a fake perfume ad called Complicit.


The video's most scathing critiques are still relatively mild, with lines like "I bet when she watches Titanic, she thinks she's Rose. Sorry, girl. You're Billy Zane."

While the sketch was definitely less skewering than SNL's sketches about her father tend to be, according to Manigault Newman, Ivanka "couldn’t stop bemoaning it, how offensive it was, how ridiculous it was.”

Manigault Newman went on to write:

We’d all been subject to SNL attacks … We’d all been hit, many of us in that same week’s show. But Ivanka would not stop talking about being ribbed. Like her father, Ivanka was thin-skinned and could not seem to take a joke.

Manigault Newman also mentioned that her father wanted to intervene, telling his daughter to leave the White House and run the family business, because he couldn't protect her in the political arena.

However, the sketch only echoes what a lot of Americans have begun to believe about Ivanka Trump. She recently took heat after saying she was "vehemently against" Donald Trump's family separation policy. Many felt she'd done nothing to stop it and only spoke out against it after it was abolished.

Now, Americans on social media are relishing her reaction to the SNL sketch.

If Ivanka was furious at the Complicit ad, she's likely seething at the other allegations Manigault Newman mentions in the book.

The president's fixation on his daughter has been criticized since before the 2016 election.

In Unhinged, Manigault Newman doesn't hold back in seeking to confirm these rumors, saying that the president "covets" his daughter and that Ivanka often exploits his affection:

For as long as I'd known Trump, I'd observed the way he hugs, touches, and kisses Ivanka; the way she calls him Daddy. In my opinion, based on my observations, their relationship goes up to the line of appropriate father/daughter behavior and jumps right over it. I believe he covets his daughter. It's uncomfortable to watch them carry on, especially during that season of Celebrity Apprentice when she was so young. For her part, she knows she's Daddy's little girl, and I believe she exploits his fixation with her to get her way.

Donald Trump famously said of his daughter "...she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her," as well as other quotes some have found disturbing.

Much of the public shares Manigault Newman's discomfort.

Manigault Newman also claims to have taped phone calls of Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner. At the rate Manigault Newman has been releasing tapes, this Complicit sketch could prove to be the least of Ivanka's worries.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
