She plops her name on the designs that she "appropiates" (in some cases steals) from actual designers.

Like her daddy trumpty taught her, it's all a marketing scheme.

She's not smart at all. It's like that perfume parody from SNL said, she's Complicit in this whole treasonous plot--She's part of the crazy clown car that is the tRumputin family.

tRumputin's daughter/wife, along with nazi bannon are CO-presidenting the United States of America.

Vlad is very pleased.

In the way grifters, thieves and panhandlers are smart. She and her dad share a brain. She was in on TRUMP U, that disaster in Mexico, that mess of a building in Turkey, is being sued for stealing other people's designs, and who knows what else.

Often without their permission. So, yeah, that could fit in with GOP foreign policy goals.

Putins alleged girlfriend. The wife of Russian money launderer Roman Abramovich was her special guest at the Inauguration, and they are frequently together. Ivanka and Jared are smack dab in the middle of this. Abramovich is very close to Putin, and Ivanka wants security clearance? This is crazy.

The old one didn't match up well with his golf bags and looked out of place on Trump's golden golf cart.
