Ivanka Trump Doesn’t Know Her Place. Hint: It’s Not The President’s Chair (feminists going bezerko!)
National Post of Canada ^ | | February 15, 2017 gmt | Michelle Hauser, Special to National Post

But when the cameras are rolling and you’re a 35-year-old woman who should know how much symbols matter it leaves all kinds of uncomfortable questions: What is Ivanka Trump up to, anyway? What is her strange, as-yet-undefined mission in the White House? And, if it’s not too much to ask, where is her stepmother and what has she done with her?

No one envies Melania having to fill Michelle Obama’s shoes — at least some of her reticence is justified. , Michelle Obama set a high watermark in so many areas: mother, wife, style icon, role model to women around the world. She graced the cover of Vogue magazine an unprecedented three times.

Unless Mrs. Trump is personally making hot chocolate for Barron and his friends after school, or is helping him conjugate verbs for his French test, she needs to suit up, face the NYC-D.C. commute, and get in the game.

It only contributes to the worrisome atmosphere of an unstable presidency to have a First Lady who is MIA and a First Daughter — not an actual title, by the way — with an ambiguous but clearly ambitious agenda. As long as the White House continues to explore this strange arrangement without defining it, and without supporting either of these women with the staff required to prevent them from making amateurish gaffes, the world will continue to scrutinize their every move.

It remains to be seen if Ivanka Trump can be a strong presence in her father’s administration — strong in her own right, apart from playing dress-up when world leaders come to call. She has been a brand promoter for so long the transition to public service is bound to be a challenge. Step No. 1 may be getting out of her stepmother’s way.

It seems to me as though someone has hit the wall HARD and is so jealous she can't see straight.

"Michelle Obama set a high watermark ..." That's because she has such a deep draft, as to most ultra-large bulk carriers.

It sure looked great on the 2nd debate night when after it was all done, Trump & Hillarious were met on stage by their families.

The same mental illness responsible for the delusional comment above is also responsible for B.O. getting a Nobel Prize right after becoming pResident.

The Deplorables demand a re-match with the Princess of Spain and the First Lady of France!

Melania can take both of them wearing a pair of old jeans!
