Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner don’t let their Secret Service security team use their WCs.

Apparently Trump was shocked to discover that so many of his supporters are "low class".

Actually that was why they supported him. They recognised him as a kindred spirit.

Even in America, where money seems to count for more than anything else, Trump and his family are considered to be utterly crude and vulgar. Their behaviour has put them all completely beyond the pale.

I don’t know what you’re all complaining about - it’s well known that Trump family wees are liquid honey-scented ambrosia and their poos smell only of violets (designer brand scent obviously).
Of course they don’t want Ordinary People (who may well be poor, too! ? ) contaminating their loos, or ‘rest rooms’ as I dare say they’re known there.

I had no problem with the decorators working at my Mums empty house ( renovation work by insurance company after water leak)using the bathroom. Bot I did have a problem when, after they after used all the stored toilet rolls, they started on the kitchen towel - and blocked the toilet which I had to get in plumbers to sort out!

I expect in the forthcoming weeks there will be many more interesting revelations to enjoy.

Prudes are small- minded.

It's quite likely that some of the secret service were black.

They are already getting their comeuppance. They have spent $30 million on a piece of land on "Bunkers Island" which is apparently very exclusive. It also has bylaws which ensure that owners cannot have their property taken away to settle debts in cases of bankruptcy. Anyway, their neighbours won't have anything to do with them.

My first thought was that it reminded me of the servants in The Help not being allowed to use the white peoples toilets.....

Not that I have any time for them whatsoever but changing the loo seats and the oven or having it cleaned is normal?
Isn't it?

I read somewhere that when the Trump clan took over from Barack & Michelle Obama, they insisted on the loo seats being replaced. Might not be true but I wouldn't mind betting it is.

In mitigation, I thought everyone did that when they moved into a house unless it was a new build?

Surely it's one of the first things you do?

They have sufficient bathrooms to allocate one for female and the other for male use. They had 3 bathrooms left over- what was the problem?

I was happy for builders etc to use my two loos- I just did not like any of them using my lovely towels but that was easily rectified.

You’re asking the wrong person Alexa. I consider it common decency to allow anyone in need the use of a W.C.

I have a girlfriend who found her bathroom smelling lovely after a tradesman had been using it. Turns out he had considerately and generously used her highly expensive spray perfume to mask any unpleasant smells.

Esspee, why would they be like that? Is it a form of prudery not wanting strange hairy men where you do your business?

NotSpaghetti, their Secret Service detail, was/is often required to be in the Kushner's home and grounds. Thus to put them in a position where they are unable to go to the toilet in their place of work, is an outrageous indignity. It’s also a potential cause for a legal grievance. Clean, safe and reasonable access to toilet facilities is part of basic employment rights. Otherwise the service would not have spent c$100,000 dollars renting a basement studio apartment to create toilet facilities for their workforce.

The Washington Post reported that the Secret Service detail would sometimes go to the Obama’s home to use the toilet facilities there!

I recently had some men working outside. I told them to let me know when they needed tea or coffee or something heated up and that I would clean the downstairs bathroom for their sole use.
Apparently this is unusual as many people do not allow workmen to use their toilets.(nothing to do with the pandemic). I was shocked.

Kushner and I. Trump really are 'non-U' are they not! They are quite boring people, unlike Father Trump who at least is interestingly outrageous.

I did wonder if it was concern about Covid but then decided not as they weren't concerned enough to wear masks when mixing with others.

It’s a reflection of the way they’ve been raised isn’t it? Somebody who was at school with Ivanka said she complained about having to read a set text by Steinbeck, presumably ‘The Grapes Of Wrath’ and asked why she had to read about poor people. Contrast this with Princes William and Harry being taken by their mother at a very young age to homeless shelters because she wanted them to see the reality of some people’s lives and appreciate how lucky they were.

Niobe sorry I missed your post, you'd already raised Ivanka's political ambitions.

Yes they are vulgar and arrogant. The thing I don't understand is how they're not embarrassed by Trump's outlandish behaviour. Too many incidents to list (especially during his Corona virus briefings, bleach anyone?) but one that comes to mind is that interview where he claimed to have outperformed all comers on an IQ test which is actually one used to determine early dementia....... the one where he remembered 5 words in the correct order and the doctors were amazed! Surely you'd feel embarrassed by your father publicly exhibiting his total lack of any credibility or self awareness, but they just don't seem to care. I suppose the money and power outweighs everything else. It's said Ivanka has political ambitions, the first female POTUS?

Nortsat - I don’t think they prevent them from having toilet breaks - just prevented them from using their toilets.

vulgar

Sums them all up

Unbelievable behaviour you couldn't make it up could you ?

It’s such vulgar behaviour and shows a complete lack of respect for the men and women whose job it is to protect them.
These men and women have been trained to put themselves in harms way, to protect ‘the first daughter’ (as she styles herself) and her appalling husband.

I don’t think it’s legal, as an employer to deny your staff toilet breaks. How dare they inflict such indignity on public servants.

I just go from disgusted, to more disgusted, to outraged with that President and his rag-bag entourage.

Presumably none of the security team will voluntarily 'take a bullet' for them!
