Ivanka visits school set up by rapper Pitbull, who called Trump a joke
Miami-based rapper 2016 Trump campaign was ‘unfortunate’ and a ‘joke’
Ivanka Trump has made a surprise visit to a school set-up by Cuban-American rapper and Donald Trump critic, Pitbull.
The president’s daughter paid a visit to the Sports Leadership And Management Academy (SLAM) during a trip to Florida to address trump supporters. The school serves Miami’s Little Havana neighbourhood, whose students Ms Trump met on her visit.
According to the Miami Herald, the senior White House adviser told an audience at SLAM that Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee “opposes school choice”.
But Pitbull has not historically been a fan of the Trump family.Otherwise known as Armando Christian Pérez, Pitbull has previously criticised Mr Trump, whose 2016 campaign he described as “unfortunate” and a “joke”.Students also performed a dance routine for her and former-White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was also present.
“Oh my gosh, you guys are amazing,” Ms Trump was said to have remarked. “I am exhausted just watching you.”
Pitbull, a Miami-Dade County voter, received a mail ballot last week that has not been returned, the Herald reported.
