Was It Worth It, Jared and Ivanka?

Frank Bruni: “Just five short years ago Jared and Ivanka were dinner-party royalty here in Manhattan. It’s that kind of place. They had money, they had youth, they had celebrity. They were thin. I’m told that their manners were impeccable, so you’d never know that his father was an actual felon and her father a de facto one. Besides, you can’t hold family against someone, can you? We don’t choose how we’re born.”

“But from then on, we do make choices, and we’re accountable for those.”

“Jared and Ivanka are about to be held accountable.”
