The Daily Mail faced backlash after publishing a story about Ivanka Trump, claiming that the President’s eldest daughter farted and blamed it on someone else while attending an exclusive New York City private school, according to Fox News.
Lysandra Ohrstrom, an alleged “friend” of the first daughter wrote a story for Vanity Fair detailing her old friendship with Ivanka.
The piece was titled, “IVANKA TRUMP WAS MY BEST FRIEND. NOW SHE’S MAGA ROYALTY.”
“One of the earliest memories I have of Ivanka from before we were friends is when she blamed a fart on a classmate,” Ohrstrom wrote.

Honestly I didn't think the media could embarrass itself any more than it already had, but it found a way. Amazing. Almost inspiring, in a weird way. https://t.co/aNajb9cM8a
