Ivanka Trump hanging out in Croatia with Putins girlfriend?

Ivanka Trump spends day during Croatia family vacation with rumored Putin love interest Wendi Deng Murdoch

Ivanka Trump on Sunday took an afternoon of her family vacation in Croatia to walk through the scenic city of Dubrovnik with Wendi Deng Murdoch.

Deng, who was divorced from Rupert Murdoch in 2013 and who has been linked romantically to Russian strongman Vladimir Putin in recent months, was pictured in an Instagram photo alongside the GOP nominee's daughter posted to Trump's account.

The two are rumored to be friends, but the optics of the photo could raise further questions about the relationship between Ivanka's father and Putin.

Trump has repeatedly made favorable statements about Putin, and incorrectly stated that Putin would never invade the Ukraine, even though he did just that in 2014.

Trump has also urged Russian hackers to find and leak Hillary Clinton's deleted emails and suggested the U.S. shouldn't uphold its obligations to its NATO allies — ideas which both have spooked foreign policy experts in and out of the U.S. as well as officials in several European nations.

Yeah, that looks really shady. They just don't give a rat's ass about optics, do they? Or perhaps catbyte Aug 2016 #3

Wait, the last one was a bad example.

We'd never hear the end of it

they've been so privileged their entire lives that they couldn't care less about how anything looks. Well, Ivanka dear, you're not helping your old man at all what with the Ukraine slush fund payments kerfuffle and all. Or maybe it was just more convenient for Vladimir to give Wendi a big fat campaign contribution to give to Ivanka. She really should just go home and spend time with her new baby. She's spent like 15 minutes with it since it was born, hasn't she?

I had heard that she had business interests in that part of the world. But why is she with the ex-wife of Rupert Murdoch? Are the rumors true that she is the latest love interest of Vladimir Putin?

Ivanka is not like her father or her brothers? She is the honest one in the bunch? Right?
