Ivanka and Jared included in presidential delegation to Davos
Critics have repeatedly questioned Kushner and Ivanka Trump's role in shaping the administration's financial and foreign policy.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday named his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner to the official White House delegation to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Ivanka Trump and Kushner serve as assistants and advisers to the president and have accompanied the senior Trump on numerous official appearances. Several Cabinet secretaries will also be in the Davos delegation, including Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer. Keith Krach, undersecretary of State, and Christopher Liddell, assistant to the president, will also be there Jan. 20-24.
Critics have repeatedly questioned Kushner and Ivanka Trump's role in shaping the administration's financial and foreign policy.
Ivanka Trump was the subject of a social media frenzy over the summer when the French Elysée palace released a video clip of the first daughter trying to engage in a conversation with world leaders at the G-20 summit in Japan, including then-British Prime Minister Theresa May, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde and French President Emmanuel Macron.
Lagarde's perplexed facial reaction to Ivanka Trump's comments, as well as Ivanka Trump's own body language, prompted memes and commentary that the first daughter appeared wildly out of place in the setting.
The French presidency later said it posted the video because Ivanka Trump was a keynote speaker on a session on gender equity. Still, the Elysée acknowledged there was "a larger narrative in the U.S. about Ivankas diplomatic role and that goes beyond us, of course."
The Trump administration canceled its appearance at Davos last year owing to an ongoing government shutdown over border wall funding.

(10,024 posts)In her three years in the White House, the only thing Ivanka seems to have accomplished is the art of using taxpayer money to fly around the world and obtaining valuable patents from China that will benefit her financially in the future. Ill give Jared some credit for helping get the criminal reform bill passed, but has he accomplished anything other than that? Not much to show for three years. I can only hope that the 2020 election will see these grifters, along with the rest of their family, disappear from public view.

(86,650 posts)those two plan on taking over when daddy's out, however and whenever that happens. They really think they will be next in the Oval Office.
We must make certain they don't.

(9,426 posts)when she discovers that there are no sweatshops in Switzerland. Useless to try to obtain rights to slap her name on "stuff". Does she EVER see her kids, or do they now call the nannies "Mommy"? I see her daughter is named ARAB-ella. Bet that earned some points overseas, eh? She is such a vacuous, plastic, Botoxed to the hilt fake.

(9,426 posts)she refuses to believe that she is not qualified for whatever she wants to do. If she avoids prison time, she WILL run for the WH. Qualifications for the position only apply to democratic nominees. Maybe Don Jr. will be her VP?

Hey, maggots: this country was founded on getting rid of hereditary aristocracies. Guess it's OK to you when your cult leader tries to form one.
