Ivanka Trump Sells The Fail By Touting Worse Than Obama Jobs Numbers As A Great Success

The Trump is good at doing one thing. They are setting the bar lower so that failures like Trump creating fewer jobs this year than Obama created last year are viewed as a great success.

Ivanka Trump tweeted:

The problem as LA Times editor Jackie Calmes pointed out:

Trump is creating fewer jobs than Obama did over the same time last year, which is a red flag that the economy could be slowing, but the way Ivanka Trump sees it, fewer jobs is a success, because that is what the Trump family sells.

No matter how much they fail, the Trumps understand that their brand is success, and if they keep screaming success, enough people may believe them to make it a reality. The problem they are having is that governing and the presidency don’t operate under the same principles as personal branding. Success isn’t defined by the Trumps, but by the American people.

By every metric, Donald Trump is a failure. Trump is destroying the success that Obama left behind via a combination of malevolence and ineptitude.

Trump is a failed president, but in the mind of Ivanka Trump being a worse president than Barack Obama is the definition of success.
