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.

Because she is his right hand behind the scenes.

Get used to it.

[RummyChick]

I am interested as to why CNN reporter deleted the tweet

[wright2bear]

I thought the Libs were all for a smart woman to get involved in our leadership? Hypocrites

[pissant]

Because the President-Elect has no official capacity, and any foreign visit is just a courtesy call at this point.

Plus it’s good marketing. Maybe the japs will start buying Ivanka Brand jewelry.

Why would it be inappropriate?

[Oldexpat]

He is not yet the Pres. So this is not an official meeting. Just an informal get to know you.

[ConservativeMind]

Donald has no official capacity, yet. As long as sensitive information was not discussed, it is all fine.

[bigbob]

Private citizens have freedom to assemble.

[goldstategop]

More liberal butt-hurt.

They whine about every little thing.

Beside them, Uncle Scrooge is positively beaming with cheer.

“I am interested as to why CNN reporter deleted the tweet”

I wondered that too.

Maybe he was asked not to take photos.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Because he’s a misogynist. Didn’t you get the memo?

from other sources Ivanka made a good impression on the Japanese

[RummyChick]

At least she wasn’t sitting on the couch with the Big Wigs.

Man this is going to be a great 4 years..but the Media is going to go nuts

[freedumb2003]

They’re Japanese and she is hot, blond and brilliant.

It all adds up.

[Da Coyote]

After Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch, no one can possibly have lower standards.

No one.

Get over it, MSM.

Trump’s kids all have more class, intelligence, and morals than you.

[RummyChick]

I think it was a photo handout from Trump’s team.

[NFHale]

“...Why would it be inappropriate?...”

Because it’s not THEIR candidate that won.

[rktman]

Maybe she’s wants more photo ops to promote her jewelry line? Odd how the lsm comes down on Trumps kids who all seem successful, don’t drink or smoke and seem to be good kids. Yet the kardouchians are hoisted up as paragons of something.

[PLMerite]

Probably a good photo-op for the Japanese. I think they’re fond of blondes there.

At this point, what difference does it make???....:^))
