IVANKA TRUMP

US President Donald Trump’s daughter mocked after tweet misquoting Albert Einstein resurfaces Ivanka’s June 2013 tweet attributed the quote “If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts” to Einstein. One Twitter user said, “The fact that Einstein never said any such thing only makes this tweet that much more perfect” 2 Some of them poked fun at the irony of such a mistake, while others questioned whether Ivanka might actually be mocking the notion of changing facts herself 3 The misquote was also significant in light of the rise of “alternative facts”, a phrase that has become inextricably tied to Trump’s presidency after it was first used by top aide Kellyanne Conway
