The Trumps have not exactly inspired confidence among Americans amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, but this week, the president’s daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump pretended like she was in a position to be inspirational to Americans at large. Acting as though the Coronavirus crisis that has killed tens of thousands of Americans is just some kind of crisis of positive thinking, she tweeted glibly this Thursday about the supposed “extraordinary” greatness or whatever that supposedly lies just beyond the challenges presented by the pandemic. In comments across the platform, Ivanka was promptly reminded of her own family’s role in exacerbating the very challenge whose gravity she seems to fail to grasp.
Originally, she tweeted:
‘On the other side of this challenge lies the extraordinary!’
On the other side of this challenge lies the extraordinary!

What exactly is that even supposed to mean? The Coronavirus pandemic is not some kind of mundane “challenge.” The Coronavirus pandemic is a crisis which will soon have killed a staggering total of 100,000 Americans and could kill tens of thousands more in the weeks and months ahead, according to sources like the University of Washington.
WOW: New research from Columbia University finds if social distancing in U.S. "had been in place seven days earlier…the U.S. could have prevented 36,000 deaths through early May — about 40 percent of fatalities reported to date." Now If only Trump didn't think it was a "Hoax" https://t.co/SvxL5Vrcoy

If her father and the broader administration had worked to stem the virus’s spread in the weeks and months that the president spent dismissing the threat as supposedly irrelevant, the lives of Americans could have been saved. Instead, the U.S. is stuck with a sky-high death toll and a senior presidential adviser who thinks that tweeting nonsense inspirational quotes might be a good plan after all.
Check out Twitter’s response to Ivanka’s nonsense below:
Soooooo almost 100,000 dead is a "challenge". NO! 100,000 DEAD IS A TRAGEDY!!!! The extraordinary part is how tone deaf the Trump family is. https://t.co/BDBxeKiqNt

Speaking of lies, over 100,000 Americans will die because of your father's. https://t.co/rhMVhpRzjT

The "other side" for the 95,000 who died due to your father's ineptitude is six feet under. https://t.co/rcUyW1pjib

It's incredible, we're in the middle of the biggest economic and health crisis this country has faced in a century, and the president's senior adviser is out here tweeting inspirational quotes she probably read on a novelty coffee mug. https://t.co/d9k4TJ7T4p
