trump wanted ivanka to be head of the world bank

[butters]

mnuchin managed to block that

if certain people hadn't blocked a lot of what he wanted, twice-impeached, disgraced one-term ex-president trump would have installed certain, totally unqualified people (aka his immediate family, whom he could control) in positions of extreme power. His aim, of course, was to establish an autocracy, a golden dynasty with him as its golden emperor to be elected and re-elected forever and ever and ever

As the Intercept is now reporting, "...two sources, not authorized to speak publicly, tell The Intercept the talk of Ivanka at the helm went far beyond the realm of Beltway chatter: Trump very much wanted Ivanka as World Bank president, and it was Mnuchin who actually blocked her ascent to the leadership role."

That's like putting Hunter in charge of cybersecurity.

Used to be that the Rand Corp was the developed world's economic hit man. That job is now filled by the World Bank. It's mission is to ensure developing nations remain subservient.

Same level of experience to qualify for the role as Jared had for the David Accords

have you read Salman Rushdie's The Golden House? a work of fiction but drawn from so many recognizable characterisations

of course, the patron and children in this story are a whole lot more educated & talented

She's isn't qualified to be the head of her sorority.

Then why would Ivanka be unsuitable?

Unnamed/anonymous sources = unsubstantiated rumor = no news or fake news.

There was nothing fake about Woodstein's Watergate coverage, even though the identity of Deep Throat never came out until decades later.

She's good at giving head??

Thing here is, nobody in the future's gonna give enough of a shit about Cheeto or his brood and their fail of a tenure to empirically prove something easily believed and in perfect alignment with his character.

Yes, it is good that some folks did actually rise to that level and stop 45's insanity.

Installo your family in high positions....class 101 in the school of facist authoritarians.

“It came incredibly close to happening,” said one well-placed source.

Representatives for Mnuchin and Ivanka Trump did not respond to requests for comment, nor did the World Bank or the Trump Organization.

The line above, the “did not respond to comment,” seems to say quite a bit. It is not difficult to put out a statement such as “The story is patently absurd. Ivanka was never seriously considered…” And yet we hear nothing, a deafening silence.

About fifteen years ago, maybe twenty, there was talk of naming Bono, the lead singer of U2 as head of the World Bank. The rumor had some teeth to it despite the fact it made no sense at the time. But Bono sounds eminently more qualified for the position than Ivanka. At least Bono has dealt extensively with various governments about debt forgiveness and extending aid to poor countries. Ivanka designed jewelry.

It is really difficult to swallow that Mnuchin, a carrion that became a billionaire picking the meat off already long-suffering real people, is often seen as a hero in the administration. Yet it is fact. We presume that it is because Mnuchin is the guy in the administration who was at least as rich as Trump (validating his very being to Trump) and the guy with the money in the United States Treasury.

Ivanka isn't entirely devoid of credentials in this. She's a cum laude graduate of Wharton, the business school of the University of Pennsylvania. Of course, with the Trumps, there's no telling who might have bought what or done the papers and study for who.
