When Ivanka was a kid, she got frustrated because she couldnβt set up a lemonade stand in Trump Tower. βWe had no such advantages,β she writes, meaning, in this case, an ordinary home on an ordinary street. She and her brothers finally tried to sell lemonade at their summer place in Connecticut, but their neighborhood was so ritzy that there was no foot traffic. βAs good fortune would have it, we had a bodyguard that summer,β she writes. They persuaded their bodyguard to buy lemonade, and then their driver, and then the maids, who βdug deep for their spare change.β The lesson, she says, is that the kids βmade the best of a bad situation.β
