Ivanka Trump posted a Twitter message on Monday calling for “religious tolerance.” Trump, a convert to Judaism, finally reacted to 11 different bomb threats directed against Jewish Community Centers (JCCs) in multiple states across America. This marked the fourth time that such threats have been made since the start of the year.
Well that finally showed em’, right!
America is a nation built on the principle of religious tolerance. We must protect our houses of worship & religious centers. #JCC

This may just be an attempt at damage control on the part of Ivanka Trump for her father’s sake. President Donald Trump has been criticized by many for having taken so long to speak out against the increased incidents of antisemitism across the U.S. President Trump even scolded an orthodox Jewish reporter who dared to ask a question about it at his bizarre press conference last week.
And many people responded on Twitter asking what took Ivanka Trump so long.
The Anti Defamation League has also taken issue with how long it took for both President Trump and his daughter Donald Trump to speak out.
“We are confident that JCCs around the country are taking the necessary security protections, and that law enforcement officials are making their investigation of these threats a high priority,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO. “We look to our political leaders at all levels to speak out against such threats directed against Jewish institutions, to make it clear that such actions are unacceptable, and to pledge that they will work with law enforcement officials to ensure that those responsible will be apprehended and punished to the full extent of the law.”
Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump’s business is in trouble for unpaid taxes. The New York Daily News reports that Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry owes $5,165.06 in unpaid taxes. The publication cited a warrant issued by the New York state department on January 27 against Madison Avenue Diamonds LLC. This is the official name of Ivanka Trump’s fashion business which is incorporated in New York State.
Oh Ivankaleh, is this why your father refuses to release his tax returns.
