After sparking a revolution in Albania, Ivanka & Jared take their traveling circus to an innocent Nordic island

Imagine being so universally hated that the mere mention of your name in connection with a business deal is enough to send a country into revolt, something that is literally happening at this moment to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Tr*mp.

Weeks ago, we collectively got wind of the couple’s latest evil plans to transform a peaceful Albanian island near a wildlife preserve into a gold-plated luxury resort. Now, after Kushner’s full plans for the project got leaked, Albanians are rioting in the streets.

The “Flamingo Revolution” started as a way to protest the uncomfy trend of rich people buying up islands and transforming them into super yacht parking lots, but now it’s gaining symbolic speed—to the point where even Albania’s Prime Minister could lose his job over the blunder. “Albania is not a Gucci bag on sale,” protest signs currently scream in a rebuke to the Tr*mp family’s grifty plans.

“Javanka’s vision includes up to 10,000 units of villas, priced far beyond what most Albanians can afford, to be built in an area where many locals lack access to 24-7 running water,” Mother Jones reports of the projected Sazan Island development plans that sparked a revolution. But considering how huge the backlash has been, it’s unclear whether they’ll be able to actually move forward with the potentially species-destroying luxury makeover.

If they do end up folding to the backlash, it doesn’t mean that Ivanka and hubby are done “Columbusing” just yet. If there’s one thing we know about the Tr*mp family, it’s that they won’t take no for an answer even in the face of complete disaster. We also know they love buying up properties—including entire islands and countries—for their own financial gain.

In Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of D*n*ld Tr*mp, we hear firsthand about Tr*mp’s tone-deaf vision to transform Gaza into a luxury destination in the wake of a years-long Israeli carpet bombing campaign. “What if we own [Gaza?]” He wondered aloud in front of Karoline Leavitt, Mike Waltz, and Steven Cheung. “That’s a good idea, right? We’ll just own Gaza.”

Disgusting, but far from surprising. Even after a disastrous year of foreign affairs blunders, Tr*mp still has his heart set on taking over Greenland, ostensibly for the reported purpose of bringing back all-you-can-eat shrimp to Red Lobster.

In the midst of their own Albanian disaster, Ivanka and Jared seem to be taking a page out of the exact same book, because tell us why they’re currently vacationing in Iceland?

It’s probably nothing more than a sweet escape from the couple’s current high-profile woes. But in the wake of a New Yorker exposé about Tr*mp’s Greenland obsession, Jared and Ivanka’s choice of destination is definitely interesting. The two Denmark-adjacent countries could prove attractive to a family constantly on the lookout for new places to purchase, privatize, and pave over.

The good news is, even if Jared and Ivanka do have plans for Iceland, they’re not going to amount to much. Considering how huge the Sazan Island backlash has been, it’s going to be a tricky proposition to get anything done with all the bad publicity. The Tr*mp name is swiftly declining in global stock, and it’s only get to worse from here.
