In the perfect coda to the rabid clusterfuck that was the 2016 Republican National Convention, armchair political correspondent and actress Kirstie Alley had very important things to say about Ivanka Trump: namely, that the daughter of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is a champion of Generation Y. In short, it inherently feels like a reboot of It Takes Two—one where the Olsen twins would probably be really into Ayn Rand, I’m guessing.
Ivanka, the fourth and last of Trump’s children to speak at the convention, addressed the crowd gathered at the Quickens Loan Arena on Thursday night with verbose—if vague—commendations for the right-wing’s beloved, dust-matted can of expired Cheez Whiz.
Lauding Trump for purportedly championing equal pay for women, affordable childcare, and other stances the Republican presidential hopeful has never actually expressed, the former model and current businesswoman attempted to display her father’s “softer side” in an effort to supposedly appeal to younger voters.
Apparently enamored by the proceedings, it was Ivanka, not Trump, whom Alley praised during the final night of the convention, further declaring that the Republican nominee’s spawn did the youths—or rather, “the millenniums”—proud.
The actress’ support of the GOP candidate—and by proxy his brood—isn’t necessarily a surprise: Alley officially endorsed Trump this past April via social media. In turn, the former Cheers star’s political backing was preceded by admiration she expressed for the candidate back in January.
“Donald Trump, whether you like him or you don’t like him, is waking this country up,” she said at the time.
Presumably reinvigorated by the GOP convention, Alley then delved into some light punditry and hard-hitting analysis. For instance: I’m not quite sure that the following things are mutually exclusive for some. (Please discuss.)
There were philosophical meanderings…
…and then it was time for Mad Libs.
