What was Ivanka Trump doing at the W20 women’s summit anyway?
San Jose Mercury ^ | April 25, 2017 | Martha Ross

It was a curious scene at the W20 summit in Berlin that was bound to leave people scratching their heads — even before Ivanka Trump invited jeers from a female-dominated audience by defending her father’s support for families and women’s empowerment.

Good post. I think it was useful that Ivanka was sent to the summit. I don’t think the booing rattled Ivanka and quite possibly she was expecting it. Ivanka is not fragile, she’s a seasoned businesswoman and has the Trump thick skin. The booing showed that the leftist globalists will always hate Trump and that is a useful lesson to have reinforced from time to time. If leftist globalists cheered Ivanka, we might have reason to worry!

This
In spades
And take JAMIE Gorelick her “ ethics advisor” back to Jareds family business

I can not trust admire or support anyone who hires JAMIE GORELICK as her attorney or or rep or advisor

Trump needs to hear and know the damage this causes

FYI, there is a subreddit called The_Donald that has nearly a half million subscribers and when this place gets me down, I head over there. A much younger crowd and much raunchier than we are allowed to be here. Concern trolls are quickly dealt with over there, let me tell you! It’s mostly self-policing and moderators, if they exist, have a soft hand. But they fully support Donald Trump there and I love the positive vibes.

Now I still prefer this forum as it is much more substantive and allows for a much wider range of topics, but for some reason, the negative nellies and concern trolls abound here. I get the impression a lot of them are shut-ins and are angry people who always have to try and bring others down.

Europe is no more dangerous than numerous US cities. Dead is dead whether it is from a terrorist or a youthful offender.

Art, I would stuff it but you are too insignificant to swallow it. Who made you the arbiter of the propriety of Jared and Ivanka?

Getting booed by the sound of it.

I'm certainly in your camp on this topic. I'm sick and tired of all you anti-Trumper's bad mouthing our President's daughter. Our President is making the decisions PERIOD and we have no reason to question his judgement as of 100 days in and get off the Liberal bandwagon! To think you can play 3-D chess with the Master I say your sadly mistaken. For years all we heard was we needed a bigger tent in order to win the White House.

Well, we have a bigger tent and people aren't happy even now that our party is made up of differing ideas. I am looking for the next proposal of the Healthcare Bill to be much better because of our differing ideas. We'll see.

“...Ivanka Trump invited jeers from a female-dominated audience by defending her father’s support for families and women’s empowerment.”

I’m frustrated and wondering. The issue of Trump’s alleged misogyny is thrown out every single day, and has been since he announced. WHY has nobody produced charts and graphs showing the demographic makeup of his corporation’s management? I believe it consists of a huge percentage of women — maybe even more than 50%, from what I’ve heard. He thinks women are more hardworking and honest than men, I think I heard him say. And he’s been incredibly generous to many women who’ve needed a hand up over the years. Why don’t people mention those things in some written format so they can’t be ignored?

“Trump is a misogynist” is announced, and nobody defends him by presenting facts. They just let it slide, which just reinforces the lie.

Re Ivanka: She’s a distraction and shouldn’t have gone to the summit. There are hundreds of other highly successful female entrepreneurs who could have attended. Merkel invited her and Ivanka could have suggested someone else.

Who am I? Well, I voted for him not his son-in-law and daughter to parade all over the universe. I don’t think they are even well qualified on such matters. Let his appointed SOS and others on the same leveling field do this.

I do NOT think that just because people are disliking the fact that Jared and Ivanka are so involved in this presidency that it means they dislike the POTUS. That is not the case. I don’t trust Jared at all but that’s my opinion and I am nobody.

I trust him, yes but we don’t know what goes on when people such as Jared goes abroad.

It would be helpful to the President if she would site what policies the Trump Organization has implemented for working mothers, etc. --- rather than talking about what "her father" has done for her.

And btw, when acting as an advisor to the President, the respectful way to refer to him on panels and in interviews is "the President", not "my father".

It might also be helpful if Ivanka better understood what the President's base would like implemented before appearing in public with her "passionate" proposals that are 180 degrees in the other direction. She helps no one when she does this.

Ivanka needs more polish and a "come to Jesus" meeting if she is to bring this act on the road again.
