Ivanka Trump Says She Will Not Be Filling In as First Lady in Trump Administration

Ivanka Trump dispelled speculation that she would be filling in as a surrogate first lady or occupying the East Wing office of the White House, traditionally reserved for the president’s wife.

Speculation that Ivanka Trump would fill in for incoming first lady Melania Trump started swirling after Trump transition sources said Melania Trump was not expected to move to Washington, D.C., until the spring after her and President-Elect Donald Trump's 10-year-old son, Barron Trump, finishes the school year. But Donald Trump's eldest daughter said those speculations were “an inappropriate observation.”

She and her husband will likely be busy running the country, and cleaning up after her father's self-imposed crises.

I bet melania was planning to divorce him after he lost. Unfortunately it will now just be a marriage in name only until he can get away with divorcing her in the future.

He'll have a reality show in the White House auditioning for a new First Lady when the divorce is finalized. The ratings will be huggggge!

Because it perfectly describes the entire tRump shit-show; it is ALL inappropriate.

Yes, everything about tRump and his minion trolls are inappropriate and revolting down to their last dirty details.

All the security measures will wear thin. She won't be able to just step outside and shop, or lunch with her lady friends. The kid will be taken to school in an armored car. Her husband ignored her wishes and did this. She'll never move to D.C. She probably got a new contract for cash to remain married to him until he's out of office.
