My absurd experiences in North America over the years

From Paris Hilton's parents to her grandfather, the donation list clearly shows that the entire family holds Republican positions.

"Do you want him to win because of your family's stance, or for some other reason?" Li Fu asked seemingly casually.

"What's the difference?" Hilton shrugged. "Nobody wants their money to go down the drain! Besides, Obama is a minority; who knows what policies he'll push through."

Black people are not politically correct in this era, and she has made even more serious racist remarks before.

I can't even imagine what it will be like ten or twenty years from now.

"Keep your voice down," Ivanka, who had been silent the whole time, had to whisper a reminder.

There were also Black people at the banquet.

If it gets leaked, it will definitely cause trouble.

"What do you think?" Hilton asked nonchalantly, turning to look at Ivanka.

"McCain's campaign team never quite got the hang of economic issues. After the financial crisis, this issue became somewhat unsolvable for the Republicans," Ivanka said with regret. "Obama, on the other hand, was very good at focusing on the key points and launched a massive campaign to promote his commitment to changing the status quo. I think the outcome was probably already decided long ago."

Li Fu nodded repeatedly, thinking that the princess, whom the future president had invested so much effort in raising, was indeed insightful and got straight to the point.

Once the financial crisis fully erupted, the outcome was essentially already decided.

Economic and livelihood issues are unsolvable for the ruling party.

The Republican Party lost the midterm elections and its majority in the Senate, and since then George W. Bush has been a lame president.

Even if he were capable of saving the market, it would be almost impossible for him to pass legislation through Congress.

They're experts at sabotaging each other.

For voters, the economic crisis occurred during the Republican Party's administration, and many people simply did not understand the deeper reasons, attributing their own misery directly to the ruling party.

Obama's emphasis on changing the status quo aligns better with the expectations of most voters.

So, basically as Ivanka said, when the financial crisis broke out and a wave of unemployment swept across the United States, the outcome was already decided.

It's not that the Republican base has wavered, nor is it because Obama is particularly capable, and it has little to do with his skin color...

It can only be said that it was "fate"!

"You also think it's Obama?" Hilton raised an eyebrow.

"It must be him!" Li Fu was even more resolute than Ivanka, because he already knew the truth.

Hilton raised an eyebrow. "Are you so sure?"

"McCain's campaign team did something really stupid. After the financial crisis broke out, they actually announced a suspension of their campaign activities and returned to Washington to attend a meeting. After that, they did nothing..." Li Fu shook his head, not knowing how to comment.

McCain may have wanted to cultivate an image of being a "diligent and people-loving" leader, prioritizing national interests and the suffering of the people over his personal future.

However, he did not take any follow-up actions, and his political posturing was of very poor quality.

Of course, he is currently just a candidate with limited real power, and it is impossible for him to really push forward with sweeping measures to save the market.

However, on the other hand, if you don't have the ability and influence, you shouldn't put on this kind of show.

Having been "played" by politicians time and time again, ordinary voters are extremely tired of this kind of political showmanship.

Ivanka glanced at Li Fu and agreed with his point of view.

"So how much do you think he'll win? Will he take both houses of Congress?" Hilton was in a bad mood.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to take over both the Senate and the House of Representatives." Li Fu didn't remember the exact details, but after Obama took office, his policies were almost unimpeded, and he should have completely controlled Congress.

Hilton downed her cocktail in one gulp, then stood up, straightened her skirt, and said, "Excuse me, you two go ahead and talk."

Her family's gamble had gone down the drain, and the person who came to power was someone of skin color that she disliked quite a bit. She couldn't help but worry that future policies might favor people of color.

This made her feel extremely bad.

The terrace suddenly became much quieter.

Ivanka, holding a champagne glass, leaned back in her chair, her gaze fixed on the city lights illuminating the distance.

"You seem to be very good at predictive analysis," she turned to look at Li Fu, her delicate features sparkling under the light. "My father took over two real estate projects from the Forrest family and lost a lot of money. He's said many times that you can predict the future."

Li Fu picked up his champagne glass, took a sip, and said, "It was all by chance. How could anyone have predicted the future?"

A night breeze blew from the direction of the Hudson River, lifting a few strands of Ivanka's blonde hair. She reached up and tucked them behind her ears, a very gentle movement, as if she were used to maintaining propriety in any situation.

Trump's eldest daughter is indeed a top choice in terms of both appearance and temperament.

The music in the banquet hall in the distance changed to a slower tempo, and many people were dancing to it.

Hilton hasn't returned yet; he's probably run into other acquaintances.

Li Fu wasn't used to being alone with women who were too beautiful. Ever since he "changed his face," he had attracted the attention of the opposite sex, and now that he had so many accolades, it was even more obvious.

Socialites like Hilton and Ivanka would unconsciously display their charm in front of him.

"What's your opinion on the real estate market?" Ivanka initiated the conversation, leaning forward to get closer to him.

"It should have bottomed out. There's no room for it to fall any further. However, it will take at least two or three years, and possibly five or six years, to recover prosperity." Li Fu's assistant, Lina, had detailed survey data, and he himself knew the future trend.

Ivanka fell into deep thought, seemingly considering whether she should tell her father, Trump, what she had said.

"Didn't you make a bet with Professor Reed at the Forrest family's banquet?"

"How did you know?" Li Fu was a little surprised.

"Professor Reed is a friend of my father's. He mentioned you at a party, confident that he would win," Ivanka said with a smile. "Now it seems you were more prescient than that famous professor."

Li Fu smiled and shook his head. How could he possibly compare to Professor Reed in terms of knowledge? He just had a God's-eye view.

"My father has always wanted to meet you, and he even mentioned it to Uncle Thomas," Ivanka said softly, but with a hint of seriousness in her voice. "If you have time, you can come to Trump Tower."

Trump Tower is named after his family name and is one of Trump's proudest achievements.

Donald Trump is technically a third-generation rich kid, and Ivanka Trump, through his arrangements, entered the family business at a young age to take on an important position; she is now probably a vice president.

She extended the invitation on behalf of her father.

Of all his children, she is currently the only one qualified to make some decisions on behalf of Trump.
