Ivanka Trump: ‘These blanket lockdowns are not grounded in science’

G20 summit in Osaka

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead because of Donald Trump and his administration. Hundreds of thousands of Americans will continue to die because of Trump and his administration. At no point did Trump actually give a f–k about Americans during the pandemic. He hasn’t cared enough to actually throw his support behind a comprehensive pandemic relief/economic stimulus bill. He never cared enough to wear a mask consistently, or to encourage social-distancing, or to ensure that American hospitals had what they needed with equipment, medicine or PPE. There has never been a national mask mandate. Trump refused to give guidance or political cover to states when it came to lockdowns or reopenings. To this very day, there are moron MAGA people “protesting” lockdowns and local mask mandates. Americans and American businesses have been left to die (literally) by this incompetent and evil “president” and his administration. Speaking of, Senior Advisor Ivanka Trump thought she was doing something:

Blanket lockdowns ARE grounded in science, Ivanka. But even more than that, blanket lockdowns are the last resort for cities and states trying to contain a deadly virus and protect the collapsing hospital system, all while receiving zero support from your father’s incompetent administration. If states and localities had guidance back in March, if the government was actually paying people to stay home and paying businesses to stay closed, then maybe we wouldn’t need these f–king lockdowns IN DECEMBER.

    so I’m suppose to believe an entitled brat over medical doctors? If people would have taken this pandemic seriously, and not been so contrary, we wouldn’t need shutdowns now…it’s their fault.

    • Esmom says:

      That’s the problem, people do believe her if she’s telling them what they want to hear. Right wing propaganda and hyper partisanship has broken people’s brains.

      I wonder if she reads these replies. And I hope somehow she is punished for the destruction she has helped wreak.

    • Size Does Matter says:

      She’s an effing handbag designer. Jesus Christ how did we come to this? It’s like relying on Ronald McDonald for architecture.

      • Kristen820 says:

        @Size – OMG! RM designed MY house!

        In retrospect maybe not the best choice, as I’m scared of clowns :-/

      • Digital Unicorn says:

        No – she STOLE and COPIED other designs and slapped her name on them. Just like Daddy.

      • LightPurple says:

        @DigitalUnicorn, was going to add that. She stole handbag designs and shoe designs and settled multiple lawsuits. To design something, you need to know how to construct it. She does not.

      • Vavavoom says:

        She isn’t even a designer. She paid others to design for her. She’s a phony.

      • Betsy says:

        What @DigitalUnicorn and @Lightpurple said. She’s a thief and a criminal and a traitor to her country and I hope they throw the damn book at her.

    • marehare says:

      What’s really bad and not known by very many is Trump knew of virus in Nov 2019 and warned Israel and NATO but didn’t do one thing to warn Americans or prevent it from coming to the US. The Israel Times had an article about it.
      So it was deliberate by the Trump’s and Kushners to not inform Americans. They need to be charged with mass murdering Americans.

      • YatterOn says:

        @ marinate, I did not know that!! That is criminal, as I agree with you that Agent Orange must be held accountable!

    • Lexilla says:

      This reminds me of one of my favorite memes: Trump supporters believe scientists, scholars, teachers, economists and journalists have devoted their entire lives to deceiving them, while a reality TV star with decades of fraud and documented lying is their only beacon of truth and honesty.

      Extends to Ivanka, needless to say.

      • equality says:

        Not to mention all the Trumpers who believed the virus was a hoax and would disappear after the election, like all these other countries were going to shut down just to impact a US election.

    • Arpeggi says:

      What’s sort of funny is to claim that lockdowns aren’t based on grounded science and then talk about the economy because that is sure as hell not a reliable science (and not a science at all)!

    • Chica1971 says:

      Didn’t it work for New Zealand and Australia ( second time around)?

      • Ange says:

        Chica it absolutely worked in Victoria in Aus. They were recording 700 odd cases daily and got up to 20,000 cases approx before lockdown. Now since lockdown has finished they haven’t had a community transmission in 47 days and counting.

    • josephine says:

      In my mind these people flat out killed people. Killed them in order to protect their own financial interests and their political positions.

    • Coco says:

      But Ivanka has spent so much time at the plastic surgeon’s office, she FEELS like she has a medical degree.

  2. MaryContrary says:

    Ah, she’s starting her campaign by appealing to those people. I wonder if her intent is to go after Rubio’s Senate seat.

  3. Seraphina says:

    The apple does not fall far from the tree, spewing misinformation and placing blame elsewhere to detract from one’s own transgressions.
    The entire system needs to work together in order to eradicate the pathogen. I have read reports in England it has mutated and worry over whether the vaccines will be effective. I am at a loss for words. Banks, businesses and government need to work together. Easier said then done.

  4. Angel says:

    She is going full Maga mode now. It seems like she knows that she will never have her pre White House socialite life back so she is going full extremist now. I sincerely believe that she will enter into politics as soon as she leave The White House.

    • LahdidahBaby says:

      Yes to all of the above–I had the very same thought. We can only hope that she’ll be arrested as soon as she leaves the White House, and her future career will involve making license plates in prison.

  5. Arb says:

    Remember when they tried to make her a model but all the nepotism in the world couldn’t make up for her inability to emote?

  6. Veronica S. says:

    Somebody’s setting herself up for a political run down the line. I will take immense pleasure in donating as much money to take her down as possible when she does.

    • LahdidahBaby says:

      Yes! Let’s all agree that when (not if) she runs for office–any office anywhere–we will contribute all we can to her opposition, whoever it is! We need to rid ourselves of the pestilence of Trumpism everywhere in the United States.

  7. Ariel says:

    The rich can’t continue to get richer if the poor don’t die working.
    She needs to make sure the poor keep working to keep the money rolling in for the 1%.
    And her strategy works on maga. Sadly, they aren’t the only ones who die.
    Every person is in danger from “hoaxers” spreading the disease.

    I really want her to do prison time for her financial crimes and crimes against our country and mis-use and abuse of our government.

  8. Amy Bee says:

    STFU Ivanka.

  9. Capepopsie says:

    No, off course they aren’t. And the earth is in fact flat and the moon is made of green cheese and babies come with the stork. . . . .
    🙉🙈

  10. Chilicat says:

    So every other country that had blanket lockdowns are wrong then? I mean, don’t get me wrong, the uk aren’t completely on top of this by any means, but I do wonder how bad things would have been if we hadn’t had lockdowns.

    • ican'tanymore says:

      Australia and New Zealand did the hard work of locking down and now…businesses aren’t collapsing, people have relatively normal lives, and they don’t have bodies piled up waiting for lonely burials. It IS science IVAn-cuz-I-don’t-really-KAre. Just seeing her face makes me want to scream. My husband is currently in isolation and awaiting a test result because he is an essential worker and had contact with a COVID carrier. Gah. I hope history has clear eyes.

  11. KBeth says:

    Her face is grounded in science

    • Megan2 says:

      I love this comment. I was upset about this empty space telling us about science, but this comment made my heart a little bit happier somehow. 😀
      I’m still laughing. Thank you.

    • Sumodo1 says:

      Thank you. Merci. Danke.

  12. lola says:

    German scientists have been basically begging the government to go back to a total lockdown and since today everything is finally closed again. So stfu, beaver veeners.

  13. Golly Gee says:

    Also, the world is flat.
    Maybe Covid will fall off the edge.
    But that won’t help because cell phone towers will just create more Covid.
    Science that probably makes so much more sense to Ivanka & friends

  14. LightPurple says:

    300,000 Americans would not be dead if Daddy hadn’t listened to Nagini’s advise and spent the money for the pandemic preparedness units on his damn wall of hatred and her endless lavish vacations and personal business trips two years ago.

    Nagini needs to hush her lying tongue.

  15. jferber says:

    Yes, because “grounded in science” is what she and her whole grifting, ignoramus family is all about.

  16. Chill says:

    LOL, lol, lol! All I can do is laugh at them anymore. Otherwise I would be too angry.

  17. Mumzy says:

    Their entire clan needs a lockdown….for 25-50 years perhaps? We’ll even throw in a blanket. Then the rest of us can get on with the hard work of fixing what they’ve broken.

  18. waitwhat says:

    No, b*tch, YOU and your grifting family are not grounded in science.

  19. Jumpingthesnark says:

    She needs to get those words out of her mouth.

  20. Teresa says:

    Purely mean cause she’s evil. I don’t know how people find her attractive. She looks like a goldfish that inhaled too sharply and her face got stuck like that

  21. Marigold says:

    Republicans are the dregs of society and they will believe anything the disgusting Trump crime family’s says.

  22. Case says:

    This is laughable for her to comment on when the US hasn’t even had a full lockdown. For individual state lockdowns, we still had freaking liquor stores open. What is she on about?

  23. lucy2 says:

    I want to scream a lot of profanities right now and say things I really shouldn’t, so I’m just going to say this:
    I hope she’s the first arrested, and we never see her free again.

  24. WeirdFishes says:

    Says the woman who got her PhD in Epidemiology from Twitter University!

  25. Lizzie says:

    Says the woman who’s kids were kicked out of school because she would not stop going to super spreader events.

  26. Keroppi says:

    The Trumps should get their own personalized lockdown – complete with bars!

  27. shanaynay says:

    You can just blame your father that this is even happening. If he would have handled COVID properly from the beginning, hopefully, it wouldn’t have gotten as bad/far as it has. Your father is the root of the problem. Your father is the root of most problems. YOUR FATHER IS A MURDERER!!!!! So, Ivanka, it’s time for you to finally STFU, and bury your head back in the sand.

  28. Thaisajs says:

    Yes, blanket shutdowns are bad for small businesses. So is having small businesses and their customers get COVID-19 and die. If only the Trump administration had prioritized working with Congress on continued financial support for small businesses hurt by the loss of business due to COVID-19 — along with that others have previously commented on re: better testing, mask wearing rules etc — these businesses might not have failed. Instead, Trump has spent the last half of the year focusing on the election (and his subsequent loss) instead of prioritizing getting this virus under control and helping small businesses and millions of struggling Americans, many of whom are losing unemployment benefits and getting evicted from their homes.

    Ivanka needs to go away now.

  29. GrnieWnie says:

    aw, thanks for letting us know, Dr. Trump. I look forward to your comprehensive lit review on lockdowns.

    Guess who doesn’t recommend lockdowns? The WHO! Why? Because they recommend ACTUALLY DEALING WITH THE CRISIS through public policy measures! But when you fail to take federal action, you get a lockdown instead.

  30. The Recluse says:

    She’s already courting her father’s true believers. She’s got plans for us all.
    SDNY needs to put some nails in her new built political career coffin.
    We cannot let this grifter get into Congress or the Senate and definitely not the White House.

  31. Jayna says:

    We’re here because of you and your husband and your father. I feel for business owners. My heart breaks every day for them. BUT point the finger at Daddy and your husband and yourself and the rest of your motley crew for the criiminal mishandling of this pandemic. Your father mocked people for wearing masks, encouraged them with his rallies and encouraged the country to ignore health experts. You are part of that swamp.

    I despise her. I think I hate her.

  32. Rise & Shine says:

    The fact that Ivanka and Jared were given prominent roles in handling decisions regarding COVID is unconscionable. People died needlessly because of this. MY GOD! And Ivanka is still mouthing off with other misinformation. Unforgivable, and they should be held accountable.

  33. Holly hobby says:

    Coming from the admin who actively wanted kids to infect everyone in the name of herd immunity. Politico has an article today re a cdc memo from some dummy who wanted everyone infected. They had no plan to contain this. They wanted all of us to die.
