发帖数: 897 | 1 The New Yorker’s Jia Tolentino has done us all the good service of leafing
through Ivanka Trump’s The Trump Card, a 2009 self-help book that allows
readers to understand how to get ahead in life with nothing more than a
millionaire father and a world-famous surname.
Tolentino’s story is filled with eyebrow-raising anecdotes straight from
the mouth, or pen, or laptop, or ghostwriter, of an Ivanka Trump who, on the
day of the book’s release, was weeks away from turning 28 years old. But
one paragraph in particular stands out as especially, er, quite something.
When Ivanka was a kid, she got frustrated because she couldn’t set up a
lemonade stand in Trump Tower. “We had no such advantages,” she writes,
meaning, in this case, an ordinary home on an ordinary street. She and her
brothers finally tried to sell lemonade at their summer place in Connecticut
, but their neighborhood was so ritzy that there was no foot traffic. “As
good fortune would have it, we had a bodyguard that summer,” she writes.
They persuaded their bodyguard to buy lemonade, and then their driver, and
then the maids, who “dug deep for their spare change.” The lesson, she
says, is that the kids “made the best of a bad situation.”
Oh, yes. The image of the Trump family’s bodyguard, driver and maids having
to hand over their own money to satisfy Ivanka’s desire to make “the best
of a bad situation” would be quite enough to elicit some sort of emotion
from most people. But add in the use of the word “advantages” to describe
living within less affluent means, and the story becomes all the sweeter.
Now, there’s one more line in the paragraph, so why don’t we check in
there?
In another early business story, she and her brothers made fake Native
American arrowheads, buried them in the woods, dug them up while playing
with their friends, and sold the arrowheads to their friends for five
dollars each. | p******e
