Ivanka Trump faced a mixed public response after sharing a clip on X (formerly Twitter) of her husband, Jared Kushner, speaking about his proactive approach to challenges. The audio, taken from Kushner’s October 2023 interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, emphasized his belief in persistently seeking solutions despite obstacles.
In the shared clip, Kushner, the former President’s son-in-law, discussed his philosophy of relentless pursuit in the face of challenges, emphasizing the importance of trying various approaches to achieve one’s goals.
Reacting to Kushner’s words, Ivanka Trump expressed admiration for his optimistic determination, describing it as a quality she loves and a positive reminder for the new year. However, she disabled comments on her post despite claiming to have received numerous positive responses.
Critics on social media, however, highlighted Kushner’s privileged background, suggesting that his advice might not resonate with those not born into wealth.
It’s noted that during their time as White House advisers, Kushner and Ivanka Trump did not receive salaries but reportedly earned substantial outside income, ranging between $172 million and $640 million. Furthermore, in April 2022, Kushner’s Affinity Partners fund received a significant investment from a Saudi sovereign wealth fund led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
