The Daily Show roasted Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner, after Ivanka detailed how they “accidentally” stumbled upon and purchased a 1,400-hectare private island in the Mediterranean. Critics accused her of being tone deaf in the face of a geopolitical crisis and rising prices across the globe.
Michael Kosta slams Ivanka Trump over her new island project
Michael Kosta slammed Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, after Ivanka detailed how they accidentally stumbled upon and purchased a 1,400-hectare private island in the Mediterranean (via OK Magazine). Critics immediately called her “tone deaf.”
Ivanka revealed how the purchase off the coast of Albania was a massive, passion-driven luxury development project rather than a business. She explained that they found the island accidentally when they stopped for a swim on a friend’s boat. They were reportedly captivated by the island and decided to purchase it. The interview generated a lot of buzz online, and The Daily Show host Michael Kosta also decided to weigh in on the matter.
“It seems like every day, there’s more depressing news about the economy,” Michael Kosta said about the revelation from Ivanka. “Gas is $5 a gallon. Raspberries are $8 a pint, which sucks because my backup plan was to fill up my car with smoothie. Now, despite all this, it’s inspiring to know that even in these tough times, there are everyday Americans out there who are still able to make it work…”
In response to critics who said Ivanka did not read the room, the host joked that the island “doesn’t have rooms yet.” “And for those of you who are thinking, hey, before buying a private island, shouldn’t billionaires maybe read the room? What you don’t understand is that the island doesn’t have rooms yet. They can’t lay the foundation for those rooms until they burn down all those stupid trees, OK?” Kosta further added.
