1. Jared and Ivanka are not naive. They are downright stupid. They actually believed that they could "make a deal" with Richards and PP to remove abortion services.

2. Jared and Ivanka were stupid to believe that Richards was stupid and greedy to accept alleged more money from federal dollars for the remaining PP services.

2a. Whom were Jared and Ivanka prepared to demand more money for PP? Daddy Dearest? (Couldn't be. The House is the only entity to allocate funds for the Federal Budget.) Paul Ryan? The Republican Majority?

3. Knowing how Trumps "make deals," I can imagine Jared and Ivanka (and Daddy) waiting for the press release from PP, announcing no more abortions and then stiff the organization the promised money, never having asked/demanded any of it.

4. It's apparent that Ivanka's never been inside a PP clinic and observed all the necessary services it provides to women.

5. Jared and Ivanka didn't figure on Richards going public on this one.
