Despite the animus between their parents, Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump have remained good friends. They recently met for lunch at the renowned Trump Tower Bar and Grill.
Ivanka: “Hey Chelse, glad you could make it. It’s been a while.”
Chelsea: “Always love coming to this place.”
Ivanka: “I’m having Chef Henri make us fabulous arugula salads with shrimp!”
Chelsea: “Ivanka, you know how we said we would always remain friends no matter happens in the presidential race? I have to be honest with you … I wish you could get your father to stop calling Mom, “Crooked Hillary.”
Ivanka: “Oh Chelse, you know my father isn’t being serious. He’s just being sarcastic! He’s having some fun. You know we Trumps are winners and we’ll do whatever it takes to win.”
Chelsea: “Well I don’t like it. Just like I don’t like him talking about “Second Amendment” people coming after Mom.”
Ivanka: “Chelsea, you’re being too sensitive. He’s just doing what he thinks he needs to do to stir up his base. Speaking of things that need to change, I would hope your mother stops calling my father a sexist, racist bigot.”
Chelsea: “Well …”
Ivanka: “Well what?”
Chelsea: “ She’s just saying what many people believe. You know members of his own party are calling him the same thing.”
Ivanka: “Well I don’t like it. My dad is the most tolerant, generous man I know.”
Chelsea: “ Of course you are going to feel that way. You’re his daughter.”
Ivanka: “So you think my dad is a sexist, racist bigot?”
Chelsea: “Well …”
Ivanka: “That’s it. I’ve had it. Our friendship is officially over. I’m leaving!”
Chelsea: ”But what about Chef Henri and the fabulous arugula salads?”
So ended the strained friendship between two powerful daughters of two powerful families. The two might not speak again until 2024 when they meet in the year’s first presidential debate.

I wouldn’t doubt either one going into politics. Ivanka gave a better convention speech.
Chelsea for sure. Ivanka? I don’t think so. But she did give a better convention speech.
