Indian diplomat compares Ivanka to a ‘half-wit Saudi prince’ who must be grudgingly flattered

How do foreign leaders deal with First Daughter Ivanka Trump?

According to one anonymous diplomat quoted by Hindustan Times editor-in-chief Bobby Ghosh, the key is to flatter her and make her feel important — just as you would do with a visiting member of a royal family.

“We regard Ivanka Trump the way we do half-wit Saudi princes,” the diplomat told Ghosh. “It’s in our national interest to flatter them.”

1. And half-wit Saudi princes compare Ivanka to a brainless mannequin who must be grudgingly flattered

[whathehell]

3. But who does Ivana compare half wit Saudi princes to?

Just a thought.

[keithbvadu2]

8. Her daddy?

[whathehell]

9. Nah..

Even the Trumpster isn't as sad as those princelings.

[JHB]

21. Her brothers.

At least the ones from the same mother.

10. Saudi princes have more money though.

[whathehell]

14. Whatever your price, I guess..

Some will always sell to the highest bidder.

[whathehell]

2. Wow, Bobby

Thanks for letting us know you've got 'principles' and all.

[C_U_L8R]

4. Half-wits.

Funny thing, if you gather up all the Trumps together they don't even make a whole wit.

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. It's the Zeno's Paradox of dumbshits

[Stinky The Clown]

6. OMG! That made me laugh out loud. It is the PERFECT description of her.

[Lucky Luciano]

15. I see plenty of criticism of Uday and Qusay.

To be fair though, I ignore most threads about the demon's spawn.

[whathehell]

17. I don't and even when they do appear, the perceptible "glee" in trashing them

is MUCH less apparent...They just love them some "let's hate Ivanka" threads -- It can get pretty sickening.

[Ninsianna]

28. Might it have something to do with the relative power? Ivanaka has more than her brothers.

[LoveMyCali]

16. Not nearly as stupid as her brothers

Is kind of like my cat is not nearly as stupid as my coffee cup, but I still don't want her running the free world.

[trc]

19. needed to be said, thank you

I was also disheartened by the tone of comments about the young woman working for 45 who it was more than suggested on DU only got the position she was in because of her prettiness and her supposed willingness to do whatever. Is that ever said about an attractive young man working in the same situation? Or is he just ambitious?

[Enoki33]

25. There are many here who detest what she represents and not

the person per se.

[Ninsianna]

29. When the employer in question is one who literally hires people based on their looks

there is nothing wrong with questioning why someone with no qualifications to do a job is hired by a man who hires people based on their attractiveness.

What other than her looks qualifies a former model with no educational or work background to do the job she's doing? If the boss is stating that he hires only attractive young men, and hires one that has no qualifications and no ability to do the job he was hired for, it's perfectly valid to state the obvious reason he was hired.

7. No doubt the same way they handle her half wit father

[onetexan]

11. LOL

i have indian coworkers (who currently live in India). They do think 45 is an idiot and that the election was rigged by the Russians. One thing they don't understand, however, is why he's allowed to persist as this illegitimate prez and continue to embarrass us all in front of the rest of the world.

[whathehell]

13. Lol...I hope you understand, if they don't..

If so, you might explain to them that we are a nation of laws, which, at present, only allows for the two options of impeacment or invocation of the 25th Amendment. Not too difficult.

[Ninsianna]

30. We are indeed a nation of laws, and Trump is violating a number of them,

sadly we are not a nation where those laws are enforced by the party in power, thus, they are correct to wonder why the US is failing so badly at being a functional nation of laws. They, and the rest of the world are wondering just how much damage this once great nation will do to the world before someone does something to prove that we are indeed a nation of laws and a people that actually apply those laws.

Seems like they understand a few things that some Americans don't quite get.

18. Is that just delicious or what....

... ... a half-witted tRump* princess... "the key is to flatter her and make her feel important — just as you would do with a visiting member of a royal family."

[KRISITNA]

22. Giving her half a wit was too generous

[SWBTATTReg]

23. Garbage in, garbage out

Simple to explain ivanka...just like her brothers too...

Massive conflict of interest

AND

Garbage in, garbage out

[zentrum]

24. Wow. Hope this is true. nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. AT least we dont have experienced professionals in our

government, because you know, speeches.

This is surely better

I am so fucking angry I cant see straight, I am getting to the point where I want something bad to happen so all you 3rd party voters and nose holders can see just how STUPID YOU ARE

Not talking to OP

[renate]

27. when I read anti-Ivanka articles and threads and posts, I always wonder...

... (given that she and even Jared were Democrats): what if she is one of the few voices of reason in Trump's world? What if she's on our side (without being able to say so) and doing her best? It's not her fault that Steve Bannon is always whispering in Trump's ear. And as far as we know she didn't ask to become one of her father's advisers, but if my dad were Trump and I had any opportunity to try to influence him, I'd do it too. I'd consider it my moral duty.

That Indian diplomat who said it's in their national interest to flatter her didn't say she demanded flattery. He just said that it's in the Indians' interest to provide her with it.

I know I'm in the minority here, and probably totally delusional about Ivanka's motivations, but I don't feel the same way towards Ivanka that I do towards Eric and Don Jr. I think she's wildly out of touch with how the majority of people live, sure, but I don't think she's malicious.

[iamateacher]

31. I think she's there to babysit

Her father who is in early stages of dementia. Having been there, it isn't easy. Sooner or later she will have to give up. Now do I think this is to protect the Trump brand? Yes.

[Chemisse]

35. I wondered that early on, during the campaign.

But she turned out to be far too self-involved to bother with anything other than her business interests.

[iamateacher]

37. It is in her business interests

To babysit Dad. If people knew they had voted for someone in the early stages of dementia...not the 30%, but the rest...it would not be pretty if they revealed they knew this was the situation when he was running. And believe me, you know it a while before it is diagnosed as moderate to severe.

[JI7]

39. She was applauding and celebrating the house vote to end ACA

[bdamomma]

32. rotten apples

do not fall far the tree huh?

[MyNameIsKhan]

33. Perhaps India will spread red carpet for this half wit princess, meeting Narendra Modi ...

[Gothmog]

34. Invanka is a half wit

[Mendocino]

36. Don Jr. and Eric

must be nit and dim (wit).

[roamer65]

38. Uday and Qusay.

[Generic Other]

40. Well I am too chicken to put her a half-wit's headdress

Above my photoshop pay grade.
