Ivanka Trump, elder daughter of a billionaire president, married to the son of a real-estate mogul, thinks Americans want to make their own way up life’s ladder
Ivanka Trump at a panel discussion at the Munich Security Conference in Germany. elder daughter of a billionaire president, married to the son of a real estate mogul, thinks Americans want to make their own way up life’s ladder.
In an interview with Fox News’ Steve Hilton, Trump was asked about the provision of the Democrats’ “Green New Deal” that would guarantee a job to all Americans. Trump was not a fan of the idea. “You’ve got people who will see that offer from the Democrats, from the progressive Democrats, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Here’s the “Green New Deal,” here’s a guarantee of a job and think, Yeah, that’s what I want. That’s simple,” said Hilton, asking: “What do you say to them?”
“I don’t think most Americans in their heart want to be given something,” said Trump, seemingly conflating a promise of jobs with an offer of welfare. “I’ve spent a lot of time traveling over the last four years. People want to work for what they get. I think this idea of a guaranteed minimum is not something most people want. They want the ability to be able to secure a job. They want the ability to live in a country where there’s a potential for upward mobility.
Other Democrats have endorsed a job guarantee, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J. A national jobs guarantee would not preclude people from taking a better job if they found it, as Trump implied by contrasting it with “upward mobility.”
