IVANKA/NOMINATIONS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP FAMILY/WORLD BANK: “President Donald Trump considered nominating his oldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, to lead the World Bank, according to an interview published Friday [4-12-19] in which he also talked up his daughter’s future presidential bona fides. In an interview with The Atlantic, the president showered praise over all of his children, noting that his oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., a frequent fixture at political rallies, had really enjoyed his foray into politics, as has son Eric Trump. But the president was especially complimentary of a Trump child who has mostly stayed quiet about her political ambitions: Ivanka Trump. He even confirmed he’d considered picking her for a post in his administration…Trump confirmed he had seriously considered nominating his eldest daughter for a vacancy leading the World Bank, a rumor that drew backlash from the president’s opponents…Ivanka Trump, a senior adviser to her father, has long been the subject of intense interest from outside the White House.”
