'The Daily Show' mocks Ivanka Trump's island purchase

A lot of people may be struggling with the cost of living at the moment, but Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are rolling in it. The couple recently announced that they're developing a private island in the Mediterranean, and The Daily Show's Michael Kosta had thoughts. "For those of you who are thinking, 'hey, before buying a private island shouldn't billionaires maybe read the room,' what you don't understand is the island doesn't have rooms yet. They can't lay the foundations for those rooms until they've burned down all those stupid trees, OK?" says the host in the clip above, before going on to play a clip of the U.S. president's daughter speaking about the project with podcaster David Senra.
