For years now, Ivanka Trump was a somewhat prominent figure in New York society. This is part of the reason why she is so Precious to her orange madman father – Ivanka was part of the glitzy society which often looked down on Donald Trump (for good reason). Bigly was always desperate to be accepted by the cool people. While I would hesitate to say that Ivanka was one of the cool people, she was always more accepted by those high-flying society people than her father. It also helped that she married Jared Kushner, and that their circle of friends included Wendi Deng, Anna Wintour and more. All of which to say… Ivanka and Jared attended the annual Met Gala many times over the years. They got to rub shoulders with movie stars, models and elites and all was well. Now that Ivanka has the nuclear codes and Jared is in charge of everything, they no longer have time for the Met Gala. SAD!
The theme for this year’s Met Gala, hosted by Anna Wintour, is “Avant-garde,” we’re told.
The Vogue editor and her team are already in the intense planning stages for the glamorous event, which takes place in early May, and the dress code will be devoted to the unusual and experimental.
Missing from this year’s host committee are Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who usually attend every year, but we are told they will be too busy in the White House to act as co-chairs.
Seriously, imagine the outcry if they did attend the Met Gala. My guess is that if they confirmed their plan to attend, Wintour would have to deal with an outpouring of rage and disgust, and many celebrities would cancel their appearances. If Ivanka and Jared did attend, they would probably get booed and heckled on the carpet. Which sort of makes me wish they would attend, just because that would be funny to see. But yeah, obvious story is obvious. Of course they won’t attend. They’re too busy changing Bigly’s passwords and trying to avert disaster at every turn.
