Why Did Ivanka Trump Sit In on Her Dad's First Foreign Diplomacy Meeting?
elle ^ | 11/18 | nickalls

Posted on 11/18/2016 7:31:27 AM PST by RummyChick

It's been less than two weeks since Donald Trump was elected president, and already his first foreign diplomacy meeting is turning heads.

A handout photo shows Trump meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Manhattan's Trump Tower...with his daughter, Ivanka Trump, listening in. CNN correspondent Ivan Watson deleted his tweet of the picture, but not before various reporters, political commentators, and other users pointed out the inappropriateness of Ivanka's presence.

Why do you care? Is this just the first of a long series of attacks on Trump for everything he says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do?

“More seriously, though, a President Trump is going to have to figure out how to deal with some complex conflict of interest issues if his family retains his business interests.”

Perhaps the most complex POTUS in recent history.

We will just have to live with the Dems picking it all apart like they should have done with the CLinton foundation

Trump loudly expressed his opinion during the campaign on the CURRENT ambassador, Caroline Kennedy!

Why not? Ivanka - and apparently his sons as well - are pretty damned intelligent people. Seems to me that suggesting she shouldn’t have been there is pretty sexist on its face.

Oh, wait, I forgot! Liberals are sexist, bigoted, racist, etc. are they...

And of course Pres Carter consulted his daughter Amy (who was what, 12?) on nuclear policy.

No. Trump’s children will be involved with the Trump businesses. Ivanka is on the transition team.

No ambassadorial positions. There is the nepotism law, plus Trump railed against Caroline Kennedy being an Ambassador.

That room is quite stunning.

A little too ostentatious for my tastes. But, as we all know, that's Trump's style.

But that was never proved and any way she is a democrat and a feminist and a liberal and Chelsea is also a very successful business woman and and and IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HILARY.

Who or what is “elle”?

I believe "elle" is a high-class women's magazine.

I suspect that Mr. Trump has for many years had his children observe him doing business. What better way to teach someone?

I have known other successful people who have mentored in this way.

Also stupid MSM, it is her father's home. You mean to tell me she can't be at her father's home?
