Ivanka Trump announces that she and her husband, Jared Kushner, are building a massive off-the-grid private island


Ivanka Trump announces that she and her husband, Jared Kushner, are building a massive off-the-grid private island in the middle of the Mediterranean. The island spans 1,400 hectares and currently has no power.
They will be working with some of the world's greatest living architects to bring this vision to life.

"It's massive in scale."

Cut off all access, including communications. Turn it into Trump Alcatraz. My first thought would be to then drop a missile or two in it. But, they all hate each other, so being stuck on an island together for the remainder of their miserable lives would be far worse punishment.

Do they expect the US military to keep them safe from pirates and terrorists?

Gotta figure there has been some pretty serious crimes that Jared needs to hide from facing consequences for doing.

and in the strait between the Adriatic and Mediterranean, it's hardly in the "middle of the Mediterranean. either.

Per media, Platner's business partner's family owns Ingall's Island, in the waters around which they harvest their oysters. Not much on the island, as far as Google maps shows. (Maybe one day we can all own our own island?)

What problem is she solving by doing this?
