Lysandra Ohrstrom claims to have been the bridesmaid at Ivanka Trump's wedding, but today she is unflattering about the daughter of the still-US president: “She planned the Trump radar for status, money and power as well as her father’s instincts throwing the bus to save yourself, ”writes Ohrstrom in an essay for the magazine“ Vanity Fair ”.
The two were best friends during their youth - but in retrospect, Ohrstrom's image of Ivanka Trump is not particularly positive.
During school, for example, she persuaded several girls - including Ohrstrom - to show their breasts out of the classroom window.
“Ivanka was basically the leader, but she protested her innocence to the headmistress and got away with it.
The rest of us have been suspended, ”writes Ohstrom.
Ivanka Trump, 39, also despises poor people, according to Ohrstrom.
When they were in their twenties, she recommended Richard Russo's book These Goddamn Dreams to her friend, which deals with the lives of working-class people in a city in Maine.
Trump then asked: "Ly, why are you telling me to read a book about damn poor people?" Writes Ohrstrom.
"Which part of you think I'm interested?"
Ohrstrom, a journalist who reported from Lebanon, among others, said a necklace with her name in Arabic angered Ivanka.
“One evening, in the middle of dinner, she glanced at the necklace and said, 'How does your Jewish friend feel when you have sex and this necklace hits his face?
How can you wear that thing
It just screams 'terrorist'.
«
Ohrstrom said he made friends with Ivanka Trump in seventh grade when they were around twelve and attended Chapin Girls' School on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Ohrstrom said she wrote the article to show the real Ivanka - despite the risk of being branded a hypocritical, privileged elitist trying to capitalize on her connection to the Trump family.
This is how Ohrstrom remembers Ivanka's father
Ohrstrom also comments on Donald Trump in the essay.
He paid great attention to the attractiveness of his daughter and her friends as a teenager.
Trump asked, for example, whether Ivanka was the prettiest or most popular girl in the class.
"Before I found out that the Trumps have no sense of humor, I remember answering honestly that they were probably in the top five," writes Ohrstrom.
"Who is prettier than Ivanka?" Asked Trump with real confusion before he "correctly named the two girls I was thinking of".
The future president never remembered Ohrstrom's name.
But he noticed when it increased or decreased, writes Ohrstrom.
Once, while she was dining in Mar-a-Lago, Ivanka scolded her brother Donald Jr. for taking Ohrstrom's grilled cheese sandwich.
Her father interfered: “Don't worry.
She doesn't need it.
He's doing her a favor. "
