Ivanka Trump, Shifting Plans, Will Become a Federal Employee
NYT ^ | 3/29/17 | RACHEL ABRAMS and MAGGIE HABERMAN

Posted on 03/29/2017 6:08:47 PM PDT by ColdOne

Ivanka Trump, the elder daughter of President Trump, is becoming an official government employee, joining her husband in serving as an unpaid adviser to her father in the White House.

Ms. Trump already has an office in the West Wing, and she said last week that she would serve as an informal adviser to her father. But that plan prompted criticism from ethics experts, who said it would allow her to avoid some rules and disclosures.

“I have heard the concerns some have with my advising the president in my personal capacity while voluntarily complying with all ethics rules, and I will instead serve as an unpaid employee in the White House office, subject to all of the same rules as other federal employees,” Ms. Trump said in a statement on Wednesday.

“Throughout this process I have been working closely and in good faith with the White House counsel and my personal counsel to address the unprecedented nature of my role,” she said.

Ms. Trump’s title will be assistant to the president. Her husband, Jared Kushner, has the title of senior adviser.

This is disgusting and beyond the pale.

I guess that Trump will do ANYTHING for his favorite child...even when it can turn his most avid supporters against him.

“I’m thinking first female President someday.”

Good f***ing grief! Her best friends are Chelsea Clinton and Caroline Kennedy! She’s a NY liberal feminazi and has plans to inculcate her views throughout the country, most likely through laws and policies.

There are many women who would be a great first female president, but she isn’t one of them — unless she has a come-to-Jesus moment and changes her ideology.

She is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN and I doubt that she’ll EVER have an “enlightenment” moment and I would believe her, if she claimed to and/or stated mouth Conservative ideas.

Yes; since Ivana wasn’t a citizen when Ivanka, Eric and Donald, Jr., were born, they aren’t eligible anyhow. So anything beyond that would be a moot point.

She should hold a press conference once a week to discuss mundane subjects ... just to remind America how ugly Democrats are.

He leans his ear to her but mostly for opinion of the people around him.He finds her a good judge of character with a level head for his temperment.Hard to find.

I’m ever once heard him speak in public during the entire campaign last year. In thought that seemed odd, so I found a couple of YouTube clips of him. He is well-spoken but sounds like he’s about 14 years old.

Every house of worship I’ve seen practices inside that God/Jehovah/Allah is on their side and protects them, but outside they all have lightning rods.
She’s too left for us, but think of her as a lightning rod? Or not.

I'm thinking the 19th amendment was one of the worst things to happen to our country.

If she’s unpaid she’s doing volunteer work.

Eggzackly! We didn’t hear the hoopla when Barky had his Mother-In-Law on the Fed payroll as a baby sitter for his pickaninnies. Last I heard, she was to get a Fed. pension for that service.

IIRC, it was Aristotle who said.
An old man’s greatest comfort, comes from his daughters.
True for me.

Maybe, maybe not. I have 3 daughters & 3 sons, so I’m about 50/50 on your statement
