Ivanka Trump sits with foreign dignitaries during important meetings, is setting up an office in the White House, is being issued government communications devices, and is seeking national security clearance. What’s she doing exactly? Nobody knows ...

If Ivanka Trump were not the president’s daughter, would she be given a White House office to perform a job that has no description? Of course not. Don’t believe me? Just try calling the White House and asking if you can have some gratis work space at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., one of the most coveted real estate properties on the planet ...

... Ivanka wants us to believe ..that she will “voluntarily follow all ethics laws placed on government employees” ... Ethics laws are not voluntary for other government employees ... Plus, she’s already shown she doesn’t understand the rules by using a 60 Minutes appearance with the president to promote her jewelry line. The next time this happens, will she “volunteer” to face punishment, which, depending on the violation, could even include jail time? ...

Ivanka will continue to pretend she’s a model for working women, applauding herself for having a “seat at the table” with foreign dignitaries, as she did in this Instagram photo. Just remember she’s only sitting in that seat because her daddy let her ...

1. Again, not qualified to run her stocking, let alone a country.

3. Agreed!

She's no friend to women or to working people in general.
She will be gone soon, along with this 'administration'. I hope all of them rot in jail for their crimes.
Who the hell do they think they are, treating the running of the country like an effing sick game to enrich themselves and dismantle democracy.

2. Talk about being born on 3rd and swearing you hit a triple!

This family is a good example of why so many people rose up in Europe against aristocracy. They are average intellects who have access to power because of the wealth and status of their parents. They do stupid things constantly and are often rewarded. Then they have the nerve to brag on themselves as if they could ever have achieved what they have if they hadn't been handed it.

4. Ivanka is a Narcissist just like her daddy

Where she gets the idea that she has the supreme right to sit at the table with Angela Merkel as an equal is a true mystery unless it comes from a profound case of narcissism, maybe infused with sociopathy. What worldly education or background does she have to consider herself righteously qualified to sit with world leaders as an equal. What political background does she have? What government offices has she been appointed to in her life as a politician? The answer is none. Not one.

Yet she sits there with her perfect ladylike behavior with her pretty little smile as if she is the superior being at the table.

If that isn't Narcissism I don't know what is.

Another excellent article from December:

Ivanka Trump Will Not Fix "Women's Issues"—She Will Distract From Them

The problem with "exceptional" women.
