How many of you posters cannot find some empathy for the "plight" of the Trump children?
By being super industrious as a young child, Ivanka Trump wrote about having a lemonade stand. In her 2009 memoir The Trump Card, the Trump daughter explains how having a lemonade stand taught her the fundamentals of business.
"First of all, my mother wasn't about to let us set up shop with a lemonade stand at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street — and to do so in the lobby of Trump Tower would have been just a little too precious, don't you think?" she writes.
So they made an arrangement to set up shop one summer at their house in Greenwich, Connecticut, and the kids agreed to keep track of the costs of the lemonade and reimburse "the house" for those expenses out of their proceeds.
But unfortunately, there wasn’t much in the way of “foot traffic,” and so the young Trumps did what Trumps most often do.......Ivanka writes that she and her brothers used their "wily charms and persuasive marketing skills" to get their bodyguard, their parents' driver, and some of the household staff to buy enough lemonade to cover their expenses. They "took pity on us and dug deep for their spare change," she writes.
LOL
