Ivanka Trump wants to be president

International Desk: Ivanka Trump wants to be American’s first female president, according to a new book.

Ivanka and husband Jared Kushner agreed to join her father’s administration — against the advice of “almost everyone they knew” — in the hope that it would propel her into the presidency one day, according to “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.” 

“Between themselves, the two had made an earnest deal: If sometime in the future the opportunity arose, she’d be the one to run for president,” journalist Michael Wolff writes in the book, out Jan. 9.

“The first woman president, Ivanka entertained, would not be Hillary Clinton; it would be Ivanka Trump.”

Former adviser Steve Bannon, a longtime critic of the couple, was “horrified” to learn about their deal, Wolff reports.

“They didn’t say that?” he said, per the book. “Stop. Oh, come on. They didn’t actually say that? Please don’t tell me that. Oh my God.”
