The eldest daughter of former President Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, is encountering backlash on social media over a post about her husband, Jared Kushner.
On Sunday, Ivanka Trump posted a video of Kushner on X, formerly Twitter, promoting a go-getter attitude to podcaster Lex Fridman. In the clip, which was recorded in October 2023, Kushner said how “if you want to accomplish something, you just have to go at it.”
“I just think it’s just something where, if you want to accomplish something, you know, a lot of people, I hear, complain about what other people do or why it’s hard, or why it’s impossible,” Kushner told Fridman in the clip.
Ivanka Trump shared the clip she claimed that she had received several compliments on her husband’s discussion and optimism.
“I’ve received a remarkable number of gracious compliments on @jaredkushner’s recent in-depth discussion with @lexfridman. I personally love this clip as it reveals the determined optimist who firmly believes that there’s always a solution if you’re willing to try enough paths. I love this about Jared…and it’s a good reminder as we start the new year!” Ivanka Trump wrote on X.
However, in response to her post, some took to X to criticize Ivanka and her husband over the supposed difficulties he had to overcome in order to succeed in life by pointing to the wealth they both were born into.
Working as Donald Trump’s White House advisers, Kushner and Ivanka did not receive wages. However, they did earn millions in outside revenue, according to a report by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which assessed the couple’s financial disclosures.
