‘Nepo baby’ Ivanka Trump is mocked after praising husband Jared Kushner for telling people nothing is too ‘hard’ to achieve – as critics point out success is always easy ‘when you’re born into a family worth billions’

Ivanka Trump’s praise for her husband Jared Kushner’s tenacity in facing challenges has sparked angry reactions as critics point out that they were both born into wealth.

The former White House senior adviser, 42, opened herself up to ridicule on Sunday when she shared a short clip of Jared, 42, discussing his can-do attitude on a recent episode of Lex Fridman’s podcast, which was released in October.

“I just think it’s just something where if you want to achieve something, a lot of people, I hear, complain about what other people are doing or why it’s hard, or why it’s impossible,” he said, before briefly alluding because his enormous privilege.

“And again, I say this as someone who has been so blessed with so many things in life, but when I’ve had challenges or things that I wanted to accomplish, I just focus and say, ‘What can I do?’ he continued.

‘I’ll read everything I can get my hands on. If I fail at something, when the door closes, I try the window. When the window closes, I try the chimney. When the chimney closes, I try to dig a tunnel. It’s just that if you want to achieve something, you just have to go for it.’

Ivanka claimed that she “received a remarkable number of warm compliments” about the interview with Jared, but she still disabled comments on the post and banned herself from receiving any more.

“Personally, I love this clip because it shows the determined optimist who firmly believes that there is always a solution if you are willing to take enough roads,” she wrote in the caption. “I love this about Jared…and it’s a great reminder to start the new year!”

The former first daughter also shared the video on X (formerly Twitter) with the same message, prompting a quick public reminder that she and her husband are “fake babies.”

“Her husband Jared, born into a family worth billions, explains how his tenacity led to his success. “I’ve learned that if I never give up on my dreams and work really hard, I can be born into a rich family,” one critic responded.

“Most trust fund babies are optimistic. It’s built into the free money,” another noted.

“Name someone who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple… Name one thing he’s done on his own, without any help from others,” someone else added.

Like Ivanka, Jared’s family made its fortune in real estate, and it’s true It is estimated to have a net worth of around $1.8 billion Forbes.

Jared has long been plagued by allegations that his parents, Charles and Seryl Kushner, gained admission to Harvard University, from which he graduated in 2003.

He was admitted to the Ivy League school shortly after his father pledged a $2.5 million donation to the university. ProPublica reported.

Daniel Golden, author of The Price of Admission, revealed that Jared was accepted despite his high school administrators claiming he was a less-than-stellar student.

“There was no way anyone in the school’s administration office thought he would get into Harvard based on his merits,” said a former administrator at The Frisch School in Paramus, New Jersey.

“His GPA didn’t justify this, his SAT scores didn’t justify this. We thought for sure: this couldn’t be happening. Then Jared was hired.

“It was a little disappointing because there were other kids at the time who we thought really needed to be on their merits, and they didn’t.”

Jared and his family have denied the claims.

In 2005, a few years after she graduated from Harvard, his father, Charles, pleaded guilty to eighteen charges of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering.

The sensational New Jersey case, prosecuted by Chris Christie, involved the real estate magnate who hired a prostitute to entrap his own brother-in-law.

After serving a two-year prison sentence, Charles walked free in 2006, while Christie became governor of New Jersey and later head of President Donald Trump’s transition team, despite his feud with the Kushners.

Trump pardoned the father of his son-in-law in 2020.

Ivanka and Jared both served as unpaid White House advisers in the Trump administration, raising ethical concerns due to potential conflicts of interest.

They intervened $172 million and $640 million in outside income while working in the White House.

Six months after President Trump left office, Jared secured a $2 billion investment in his private equity firm Affinity Partners from a Saudi sovereign wealth fund led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Critics of Ivanka’s effusive post about Jared were quick to point out the questionable business deal, including her cousin Mary Trump, who was an outspoken critic of her uncle, former President Trump.

“Nothing like $2 billion in Saudi blood money to keep you optimistic,” she wrote sarcastically.

Others have mocked Ivanka for turning off the comments on her post after saying she had received so many compliments on her husband’s discussion.

‘”Warm compliments.” LOL. Trying to change reality. The comments were so ‘kind’ she turned them off,” one person joked.
