Isn't it funny that people thought Trump was a Nationalist?

He said this to The Atlantic? I think he was yanking their chain. He knows how much they hate Ivanka.

Not so sure. Several other news sources are reporting the story. Important word here is 'considered'. Hopefully it won't become a reality as it would be a huge conflict of interest, but wouldn't surprise me.

The other stories are citing The Atlantic, so it’s only being repeated, not really independently sourced and reported.
