We’ve seen a lot of first daughters like her around these parts. All we need now is for the President to appoint her as lead singer at the Met to fill out the picture.

How long before there’s an article on the evils of the CF, and how Ivanka is going to avoid all the ethical pitfalls that Clinton fell prey to?

"“It absolutely cannot be a private fund,” Richard Painter, ethics czar in George W. Bush’s White House, told TPM. “She can’t be at the White House soliciting money for a private foundation. We went through this with Hillary Clinton, who resigned from her foundation when she took a job as secretary of state.”

NO, Clinton resigned, so no one went through anything.

Is it possible that everyone in the Trump circle is so stupid that they think the fact she isn’t paid makes this not a conflict?

WTF could they be thinking? Oh yeah. Never mind.

It’s comical so many people think Trump and his family have rules that have to be followed.

For all the people who couldn’t vote for the Clintons because of corruption, now we have it on steroids. Only people with a high net worth will be valued. Those hanging on by their fingertips will be the first to be stomped on with Ivanka Trump heels.

Forget First Daughter call her the First Grifter. If a federal employee is shilling for a charity on the job they might catch some flack. Even Girl Scouts or little league sales on the job aren’t always viewed kindly.
