This is some story, huh?
Thousands of Albanians have taken to the streets — and the internet — to rage against a planned luxury resort linked to Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, with protesters demanding the government cancel the project and chanting "Ivanka, go home."
The flashpoint is a proposed €4 billion ($4.7 billion) development — described by Prime Minister Edi Rama as an "extraordinary investment" — on Sazan Island and the protected Vjosa-Narta coastal wetlands in southern Albania. Ivanka described it in dreamy terms on a recent podcast.
"It's an unbelievable, beautiful, 1,400-hectare private island in the middle of the Mediterranean," she told host David Senra. "We swam to the island, we went on a hike, barefoot all the way up to the top, and we were just captivated."
Imagine. You find a beautiful, pristine island, and because you're a Trump, your immediate reaction is: Hey, let's fuck it up with a huge resort with massive environmental impacts -- you know, like sewage. And I presume you call Daddy, and put on your best little-girl voice, saying, "Daddy, anything you can do to help?"
