FT says Ivanka Trump's name is being floated to head World Bank.





Possible names are already floating around Washington, including David Malpass, a current top Treasury official on international affairs, Nikki Haley, former ambassador to the UN, Mark Green, head of the US Agency for International Development, and even Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter. A Treasury department spokeswoman says it has received “a significant number of recommendations for good candidates” and was “beginning the internal review process” to make its selection.

It really sounds to me like some clever trickster may have floated this 'suggestion'.

That's what I'm going with.

Getting old on top of old, on top of OLD. if the trumps were so qualified, why were all of them such financial disasters when they came to the WH? Why wasn't 666 5th Ave. Satans home building, all paid off? Believe it or not, there's BILLIONS of more qualified people to take the job. FU ivanka. FU illegitimate one.
Must be don needs some sex.

i don't know if *she* can do much, but her *name* seems to do a lot of floating around whenever there's a job vacancy somewhere....
