The news of the billionaire presidential hopeful scrambling for cash struck many of Trump’s detractors as amusingly ironic.
“Why aren’t Jared and Ivanka bailing Trump out?
Anotherjoked, “Trump’s probably wondering why Jared and Ivanka’s phones are going straight to voicemail.”
All kidding aside, the question actually has some merit.
The Trump family has a history of helping one another out when financial matters are concerned.
Donald Trump has offered a financial hand to his children more than once, and vice versa.
For instance,Ivanka Trumpwas at one time on the board of directors of Signature Bank.
The New York fraud case against the senior Trump forced Ivanka to open up about another family money issue.
