Two Trump items of note to point out today, so, uh, which do you want first, the good news or the bad news? OK, the good news: Ivanka Trump graces the cover of Philly Style this month, which we applaud because for Philly Style it’s like one of those moments of self-actualization where the town whore has a breakthrough, a moment of clarity, where she’s like, THIS is my lot in life, to service the wretched and inane. And wisely, this is as much of the cover story as P-Style will let slip on their website:

After several last-minute delays and one windy, rainy helicopter ride from New York to the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, Ivanka Trump greets her awaiting entourage with quick apologies and firm handshakes.

Good for you, Philly Style. Even Mother Theresa must have gotten sick of giving it all away eventually. Item two: Those Trump towers on Delaware Avenue? Happening. With groundbreaking happening any minute now, we heard from one tipster that the Trumpforce gathered a bunch of local realtors at the Rittenhouse Hotel this morning, whereupon a videotaped message from Donald Hisself was played, something to the effect of, “Anything I put my name to turhns gollllllhhhd.” (Followed quickly by another major selling point: Proximity to SugarHouse!) Thanks, Don. Meanwhile, potential tenants were directed to a window, pointed in the direction of the Delaware River, and told that if they lived there, they’d be waiting in the cold already for their $700 per square foot condo to be built. We’re told that at that price, it’s basically priced at double whatever anything else comparable has sold for, but look at the upside: There’s a putting green, tennis courts and the ever-looming promise that one day, maybe Ivanka’s helicopter will need to stop for a pee break. Sigh.
