Ivanka Trump 'tries to stay out of politics.' Um, what?

(CNN) - Ivanka Trump is a senior adviser to the president of the United States. Which makes what she told "Fox and Friends" on Monday very, very odd.

"You know, I try to stay out of politics," Ivanka told Ainsley Earhardt in response to a question about whether she ever advised her father -- aka President Donald Trump -- about his Twitter feed.

Start here. The President is a political figure. He is literally the most powerful politician in the country. He ran for the job. As a Republican. Which is a political party. He sends tweets every day -- six already today! -- about a wide variety of political matters.

Given all of that, you can't be a senior adviser to the president -- with a West Wing office no less! -- and proclaim that you "try to stay out of politics." That's like an assistant baseball coach saying that he "tries to stay out of baseball." Or the managing editor of a news organization saying she "tries to stay out of the journalism."

7. But she has a cute face and a hard body so she gets miles and miles of slack...

8. And a rich, though creepy and thoroughly sexist, father.

2. Actually a lot of "news" organizations really do try to stay out of journalism....

3. The Trumps are so full of crap they can't keep their stories straight.

Ivanka is a phony, just like her father and her brothers. She is so fake, she doesn't even know who or what she is. One of the things that I find most offensive about Ivanka and Jared is that they allow themselves to be identified as "Orthodox Jews," even though they do not live the livestyle of Orthodox Jews. Orthodox Jews don't ask for permission to fly on airplanes or go to parties on the Sabbath, they are not seen eating in non-kosher restuarants, they do not wear the kinds of outfits that Ivanka wears. If you want to observe certain aspects of a religion, that is great. But claiming to be something your not is not great.

These people are frauds. In every way. So, it is no surprise that a "Senior Advisor to the President of the United States" claims to try to stay out of politics.

5. She 'tries'...

and, like anything else a tRump tries to do, she fails in a spectacular manner.

"And to re-position my brand with the deplorables. Besides, someone has to look hot for daddy."
