Quite funny that she and Chelsea Clinton are/were pals, but it looks as though she's setting herself up nicely as Queen of the Clan.

The official photo in this piece, released by the Japanese gov't shows The King, The Queen and her Prince Consort Kushner + no sign of the trophy wife or puppies.

I think it's time dear Ivanka has her own thread.

This woman, who I'd bet knows as little about her voters as Paris Hilton does about quantum physics, seems to have an immense amount of power thanks to her "relationship" with daddy, who would totally be porking her.
 
Yes, her voters.

Didn't they vote for the Trump Family? Wasn't she out there exhorting people to vote for daddy?

I can only guess that you're delighted Ivanka ranks in front of FLOTUS in talking to foreign dignitaries. And not just any foreign dignitary, the Prime Minister of Japan, which I'd say in 2016 is USA's second-best friend and second-most important ally after the UK.

No, I don't delight in that, just in you getting your knickers in such a twist that you think she was on the ballot.
 
It's nice to see ordinary American citizens getting involved in politics. Heck, I might have a thing or two to say to the Japanese myself.

Now that Donald is PEOTUS he has handed his business interests over to a blind trust run by Ivanka. She was there to represent those interests. Maybe they want a Trump tower in Tokyo?

It's not a blind trust. There's nothing independent about a family member managing your assets. They're just showing off the massive conflict of interest the situation represents.
 
During the campaign, the message to "The Donald" was that he could do or say anything and his supporters didn't care. He even said it - "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters." Why would he not go into the presidency with the same attitude?

The 48, 000,000 people or so who voted for King Trump. Or is it Emperor Trump? I forget, sorry.

You know, there are times when being a skeptic must make people stand and laugh at you, just as I sat and laughed at your utterly absurd attempt to make an issue out of the fact that Ivanka wasn't actually contesting the election.

It's exactly the kind of attitude that displays why America got Trump.

Thanks very much.

(I'm still chuckling - that's bloody funny)

There is someone who gets it.

If there's one thing becomes more painfully obvious every day, it is that America deserves Trump.

Fortune gets it.

Ivanka Trump at Japanese Prime Minister Meeting Was 'Out of a Tin Pot Oligarchy'

Marina Hyde at The Guardian also gets it.

Has ground been broken on Melania Trump’s auto-parodic anti-bullying initiative yet? Only I can’t help feeling the second lady could kick things off with a case close to home. “Dear Me. I believe my husband is gaslighting me. It’s more subtle than the lamps dimming without explanation. I mean, he’s spent years saying the only thing stopping him from coming on to his hot daughter is the fact they’re related. Then yesterday I went into the gold drawing room and found Ivanka sitting in for the meeting with the Japanese prime minister …”

And Quartz hits the nail on the head, with a glorious photo of some bimbo that not one single person voted for standing and talking confidentially to the Prime Minister of the third-richest country on the planet.

And he's not even President for another two months!
 
Isn't Japan one of those countries where the government and business interests have been in bed together for decades?

Confluence of interests, IMO.

What makes you think Ivanka is a bimbo? And, did you mean "confidently"?

As for the plastic surgery - Ivanka looks a bit touched up as well.
 
Imagine if the year is 1992 and President-elect Bill Clinton meets with a foreign dignitary and Hillary hangs around to do anything other than serve tea and biscuits.

No, I meant confidentially, and unless you can tell me what they were discussing, it is the correct description.

She was the FLOTUS-elect at the time, so would have every reason to be there, as Melania would have in Abe's case.

If you mean Chelsea Clinton, in 1992, then you'd have an excellent analogy.

Merging their family business with the USA political machine. But you can trust them, really, they have the American people's interest in mind.
