Trump Reportedly Joked That Ivanka Could’ve Married Tom Brady, But Got Stuck With Jared Kushner Instead ?

Donald Trump has become sort of notorious for his weird relationship with his daughter, Ivanka. Remember the time he said that he would be dating her if she weren’t his daughter? Or the multiple comments about her “voluptuous” figure? Or the time the Dr. Oz show had to edit out a comment about how he kisses her every chance he gets? Or the time he told the reigning Miss Universe that he thought Ivanka was hot? Or any of this whole list of other stuff?

All of us right now: 

 

The overly-familiar investment in Ivanka continues, yet again, as reports are beginning to surface of Trump “joking” multiple times that Ivanka could have married Tom Brady instead of Jared Kushner. Witnesses told the New York Times that Donald has been joking and complaining a lot lately that Ivanka could have married Tom Brady, but instead, “I got Jared Kushner.” He’s also been telling people that, “Jared hasn’t been so good for me.”

Yeah, he’s not complaining that Jared isn’t good for Ivanka. Donald Trump has been complaining that Ivanka’s romantic life with Kushner hasn’t benefited HIM in the same way that he thinks it would have if she had married Tom Brady.

But Ivanka and Tom Brady never even dated. The closest they came, according to most sources, is Donald Trump pushing her to date him. Ivanka’s mother, Ivana, explained to the whole world via her book Raising Trump that Donald pushed for it but Ivanka just wasn’t interested.

Donald and his camp, surprisingly, haven’t stuck to that narrative. Remember Anthony Saramucci? He told TMZ that Ivanka and Tom had “maybe” dated, then went on to rant about how that probably-imaginary dating history made Tom’s supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen jealous. According to this version of the story, Gisele Bundchen’s jealousy was the real reason Tom Brady declined Donald Trump’s invite to the White House.

 

Twitter kicked the roast into high gear over the comments.

Nobody other than Donald Trump has bothered to comment on the situation.

Erica is the consummate cool-kid. She’s so cool that she’s been talked about in magazines, on blogs and on the radio after losing her left eye because of a piece of glitter. She is still actively mourning the passing of Prince and hopes to one day do an all-iguana remake of Graffiti Bridge since iguanas are plentiful near her home in South Florida. She has yet to find one that can really nail the “ahhhyayayeaheaheah” that Tevin Campbell does in Round and Round, and everyone knows the music is the important part of any Prince film. She’s a mother, singer, writer and (if the internet is to be believed - which we all know it is) a Nigerian socialite mid-ranking member of the Illuminati. She prides herself on being the most popular one-eyed rock star under 5 ft tall in pretty much any room she walks into.
