Although Ivanka Trump lacks a formal White House job, the president’s older daughter is moving into her own West Wing office, an administration representative said — a move that increases her profile as an influential, although unofficial, adviser to her father.
Ivanka Trump will not be on the government payroll or officially bound by its ethics rules, but she said in a statement to Politico that she will “voluntarily” follow those restrictions. She also acknowledged the unusual nature of her emerging role.
“I will continue to offer my father my candid advice and counsel, as I have for my entire life,” Ivanka Trump in the statement. “While there is no modern precedent for an adult child of the president, I will voluntarily follow all of the ethics rules placed on government employees.”

Ok, but I’d like to think the President has the final say.
Gorelick? No effin way.
Sorry...but the no "official" political duties only makes Ivanka's lobbying of Congress even more egregious.
Gorelick who help Clinton set up the wall between agencies that lead to 9/11?
...and Gorelick cannot be trusted for a moment to maintain confidentiality of any Trump admin. info she becomes privy to. If she obtains anything that could be useful to the Trump haters she will find a way to weaponize it without her fingerprints on it.
Except she attends nearly every WH meeting and serves as an unregistered liberal lobbyist with Congress.
She needs to go back to NY.
True enough.. I would like to think so too...this decision is a disaster all the way around. It is hard for me to accept that Trump approved this..it lessens his standing to me.
You cannot drain the swamp when you just let in Gorelick.
Yes, Gorelick was Deputy Atty General in the Bill Clinton admin. and is a huge Demoncrap power broker. It is hard to describe how bad this is, to allow her into TrumpWorld. It is as bad as if Ivanka was using Holder or Loretta Lynch. This is just ghastly.
If what you're saying is true .. than shame on Ivanka. She needs to get the heck out of her father's marriage.
DJT has said Ivanka is good at reading people dispassionately. If he needs someone to pick up a vibe on someone he is dealing with, Ivanka is who he asks. The fact that Ivanka is very attractive may also cause this folks to let their guard down, and reveal something about themselves or novices they otherwise wouldn’t. As a heterosexual male, I say Ivanka passes the, “ Not Guilty”, test. That is what I mean.
I agree that she should go back to New York, but what exactly is she lobbying for in Congress?
Re your post #54. We get it. Ivanka’s had a boob job.
Have you any point of substance to make?
Her "passion"--women owned business, government assisted child care and employer mandated paid maternity leave. (to name the top three issues)
Yup, Gorelick IS the swamp. She siphoned millions personally from the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debacle. She is personally responsible for the intel “Wall” which contributed to 9/11. She is evil scum. One can only pray ....
So the answer is “no” .. you do not have a point of substance to make.
Thanks for your candor.
LOL. I’m sure there are plenty of Republicans in Congress listening to that idiocy.
WAPO conveniently forgets Hillary Clinton’s healthcare taskforce.
Is this sarcasm? (Real question) .. thanks.
This includes Ivanka, Jared, their staffs...and temporarily, at least, Melania.
Everything so far has given off some negative and unsettling vibes to me.
Yes, I do have a sixth sense...and I pay attention to it.

Ivanka is and always has been Daddy’s little girl. I believe within reason, President Trump has always given her whatever she wanted.
Fortunately, she’s very intelligent (hard not to be, given her parents) and he has always expected her to work for what she wants. I have seen no evidence that she has ever been an advisor, other than this is what’s happening here and this is what they want or expect at different aspects of the business. I believe he has always had an advisor role in her business plans and decisions.
Melania is also very intelligent and totally focused on her husband and son. I don’t believe she considers Ivanka a threat in any way.
I think Melania also has an intuitive grasp of people and events. She totally supports her husband, has complete faith in him and always shows up when she is needed. She is the one member of the family who knew he would win before he started and if you paid attention to body language and expressions, knew he would win on election night.
She and Barron can afford to be in NY right now. President Trump is working 20 hour days and doesn’t have time to devote to his family on an hourly basis. They come when he has some free time and are always with him and are always with him at Mara Largo.
I am not explaining well and I may be wrong but that’s my take on the family structure.
