Thin skin runs in that family

The Trumps seem to lack any sense of humor or perspective - especially when it comes to their own images.

Insecurity/vanity/smugness/narcissism/haughtiness/contempt.

Just some of the terms that come to mind. An exceptionally ugly family personality.

The art world isn’t finished with the Trumps. I’ll wager there’ll come a day when she thinks this installation was very cute.

I guess it never occurred to that she’s such a cliche, that when her cliche is parodied, she comes to its defense with predictable “better-than” outrage.

A little OT, but I just found this great pic of the Dem Congresswomen wearing white to the SOTU.

Now these are women who are REALLY doing good work for their country, Ivankadonk!

Can you guess which one is Ivanka?

It needed to be repeated.

How could Barbi Trump possibly know what the character is doing ??

What, you got something against Latex-Americans?

Anti-Latite!

Maybe this will be the beginning of a series. Next in line, you know the scene, tRump on the bed faux news blaring, tweeting away and stuffing the face with KFC and McD’s heart attack burgers. I bet it would be really popular and would get the POS’s goat.

I realize some things are lost in the translation, but they really whiffed there, not putting scotch-tape on the tie.

The image doesn’t seem all that close to Ivanka, unless she wants to assume every blonde is an attempt to look like her. The image seems an advertising blonde or a generic movie blonde. The Trump family seems anxious for every image to be about them. Are the children simply just as neurotic as daddy? Usually, the White House family is best left alone but this is a family that is weirdly in business together and promotes the family name on a regular basis. The world will be a better place when Donald Trump leaves office and takes his family with him.

if I had your powers of observation, I never would have bought that Bolex watch in 1987.

Upside for Barron is that if he turns out all right he’ll save some time in therapy having to explain his early life/family. I really hope he’s as checked out as he comes across, it’s gotta be the most positive adaptation available.

The Bolex WAS a pretty good 16 mm movie camera.

squirreltown · February 5, 2019, 11:28pm

Sure, but the wrist strap never worked.

It seems complimentary to me as though she actually works at something.

juliagrey · February 5, 2019, 11:36pm

a “powerful woman who has done more for women than probably anybody in Washington D.C.”

The fuh?

Women can choose to knock each other down or build each other up. I choose the latter,” Ivanka Trump

Oh, fuck off.

This art piece isn’t about her being a woman. It’s about her being a fraud - in many ways more of a fraud than her father or brothers. At least with every word out of their mouths we know they’re monsters. Ivanka, though, sounds sane and kind some of the time, and his managed to maintain a veneer that she cares about something other than making more money.

thebigragu · February 5, 2019, 11:37pm

You mean being a knowledgeable experienced senior adviser to the POTUS isn’t work!
