Ivanka Trump Tells Harper’s Bazaar

Just call her the “Pregnant Playboy Bunny.” (We’ll bet there’ve been lots of those over the years!) The real estate heiress and one-time teen model talks pregnancy (She’s having a girl due in July!), her two-year marriage to New York publishing magnate Jared Kushner, and her dad’s now-scrapped bid for The White House with Harper’s Bazaar’s June/July edition.

“We both said we wanted to wait one year and just enjoy being newlyweds. So we waited pretty much exactly that,” Trump, 30, says of her first pregnancy. “Jared is ecstatic. She’ll be a daddy’s girl. I have a feeling they are going to gang up on me,” she laughs.

“We have our work cut out for us to ensure that our daughter is grounded and not spoiled.”

Ivanka was even more chatty when quizzed about dad Donald Trump’s shelved run for president. More thatn 60 percent of Americans polled last month revealed that The Toupee would have to climb out of bed very early in the morning to snag their vote, but Ivanka gave her father one glowing endorsement.

“I think he’s exactly what we need. He’s the best equipped to deal with the most important issues this nation has, which is ultimately that we’re suffering under a massive burden of debt. We need a very acute financial mind to get us out of this mire. America is the largest corporation on the planet. You wouldn’t hire a novice to run a similarly sized company in the private markets,” the mom-to-be explains.

Should we really be surprised to learn that Ivanka didn’t back President Barack Obama in the 2008 race for The White House.

“Of course [once he was elected] I wanted him to succeed, but he’s proven to be a very ineffective leader. He has just not risen to the occasion. He doesn’t have business experience or a business mind.”
