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.

See my post 34, only you explained it better

Maybe the Japanese PM said “Can I meet your lovely daughter?”

These people are morons

Ever since Trump won I hear voices in my head.

It is the voice of Flounder from Animal House saying "Oh, boy, this is gonna be GREAT!"

“Elle”. Magazine

How about Amy Carter LOL

[polymuser]

Ivanka may just become our first woman President...

In Japan they have a particular thing about blondes.
My daughter is into anime, and blonde characters turn up in there all the time.

Exactly. Hey libbie media and pundits, why did Hillary set up private email servers in her home and conduct State Department business on them? In her capacity as Secretary of State, what favors did Hillary provide for donors to the Clinton Foundation? Why are you looking for impropriety in Trump’s actions when you won’t investigate Hillary’s crimes?

Well, if I was setting down for some tough negotiations, I would like to have a sweet, leggy, blond creating a visual distraction close by as well. Seems like it would make the other side more polite, if not even sweat a little...but maybe Laz has a thought on this...LOL

The critics of this must be misogynists. They hate Conservative women in positions of power and influence.

Fixed it.

Why did Hillary email Chelsea that Benghazi was a terrorist attack?

[RummyChick]

I wish they would give her an official position..Ambassador seems like a good place to start. She clearly has an affinity for the Asian culture given the Japanese and Chinese videos of her daughter.

And I say go one step further to really hack off the media. Give the Ex Wife the Czech job.

ZH is reporting she might become the Ambassador to Japan.

She would be a big improvement over Caroline Kennedy. Talk about an air-headed rich girl!

I forget the particulars now, but Chelsea Clinton had personal knowledge of certain meetings with Arafat I believe it was. She popped off in public about what she knew, and the press thought she was gifted and charming.

[AFreeBird]

I think that’s the Asian trifecta.

Ok ...weird question..
Why do so many women weAR sleeveless dresses? Aren’t they cold? Look at the men...all bundled up...just always makes me wonder.

[Old Yeller]

Why has Valerie Jarett a known Iranian enemy of this country been siting in on 8 years of these?

[pax_et_bonum]

Isn’t this amazing?!

I’m wearing heavy shoes because without that load on my shoulders I’m afraid of going airborne!
