    Default Ivanka Trump could be head of World Bank: US president's daughter is among nominees

    Ivanka is thought to be a possibility after she was the driving force behind a $1 billion, Saudi-supported World Bank fund to promote entrepreneurship by women.

    The outgoing President Jim Yong Kim abruptly announced Monday he was cutting short his tenure as the bank's president more than three years before his second term was due to end.

    This has opened the field to Ivanka, as well as Haley who stepped down as Ambassador last month, the Financial Times reported Friday.

    I don't foresee either one of them accepting the job.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    IMO, Nikki wants to focus on her private life until the 2024 elections.

    Ivanka has enough on her plate already. And she is too controversial a figure. Her name was floated mainly to draw attention, iMO.

    The fox-hen house analogy comes to mind here.
