Ivanka Trump On Donald As A Grandpa, Her Tiger Mom & Obama (PHOTO)

Real estate heiress-turned-fashion entrepreneur Ivanka Trump sat down for Harper's Bazaar's June issue to dish on her parents, her pregnancy (it's a girl!) and her husband, Jared Kushner.

On The Donald's reaction to her pregnancy:

"He's over the moon, he's so excited." No one should expect him to be changing diapers on the boardroom table, however, especially since he famously eschews that duty. "He'll be wonderful, but not as a classic, hands-on, 'Let me take the child for the weekend' type," says Trump, laughing. "He won't be that kind of grandfather."

On her mom:

"My mom grew up in the Soviet Bloc, and she was a Tiger Mom. We didn't get away with much."

On her licensing deals:

"I pretty much wear only my own things at this point," she says, gesturing at the Ivanka Trump brand platform espadrilles she's sporting. "You have to love, love each piece." [...] "I think Jessica Simpson's actually created a great business in this space."

On Obama:

"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."

To read the rest, head over to Harper's Bazaar. You'll find it on newsstands May 31.

We've all read about Tiger Mothers in the media lately. Me? I've been noticing lots of Tiger Mamas around.

All I know is the kid better have his birth certificate on him at all times if he pops out even 1 shade darker than translucent lilly white if he wants to avoid being disowned and deported.

Loud.

He'll be a very loud Grandpa.

(I haven't read the other comments, but, one thing is certain - he'll want to see the birth certificate... )

Funny thing, this young women, born with a silver spoon, thinks she understands the business world. The only thing that she understands is that she is unhappy with the face and body she was born with and has had to surgically alter it.

Let's hope she gets a copy of the baby's gift certificate for Donald to analyze and validate.

"He doesn't have business experience or a business mind."

Now you have to have "business experience" to be President. Poor girl, if you own a business you make your own decisions. Here in the US big oil, insurances and pharma industry rule the country and the GOP filibusters and makes obstruction. But daddy said so... blablabla...

No one who has everything she has solely because she has the right last name has room to criticize the president for not having enough business experience.
