At first I thought the comments on Twitter, etc were petty, but then I gave it some thought.

Imagine if Obama or Bush had represented the US at the G20 in shorts and a tank top. There are expected standards and, unfortunately, they're especially harsh for women. Ms Kushner should have been in business attire like everyone else

Or her wisdom and dedication to great human issues on the world stage, or her lifelong work to further women’s causes or her work for the betterment of life for children, especially the ones in concentration camps on American soil.

advocating, "negotiating", agreeing to God Knows what (for which we have neither the information or ability to counter), making International Foreign Policy.

Jesus Christ. How can there not be an absolute uproar. Anyone remember the outrage and R's losing their very "heads" over unelected First Lady Hillary Clinton participating in health care policy discussions/development?

So, yes, her dress is immaterial, but it is a symbol of the much bigger issue.

The propaganda machine in our White House puts out all sorts of fake news/lies every day.

She wasn't invited to McCain's funeral either, but she weasled her way in there even though the family made it clear they weren't welcome.

Her name and the term "women's empowerment" don't belong in the same sentence or paragraph or article.

Regardless of her success or failure as the PM she always looks elegant. I’ve rarely seen Ivanka dressed well because all her outfits have something off or are a bad mixture of styles in the same outfit. Maybe it’s me.

CNN is talking about her right now about being like a fish out of water as far as her "performance on the world stage". He dad was looking like her in an odd way. I wonder if he was thinking of how she "wasn't his taste" in that dress she was wearing.

It’s exactly how she looks! Surely she has someone who tells her about the does and don’ts regarding proper attire at all high level world events. She seems to have gotten pretty bad about how she dresses lately.

It’s unbelievable that the dress costs more than $4,000 dollars! WTF!?

Mon Jul 1, 2019, 06:25 AM
Jul 2019

...starting, as so often happens, with the father treating his daughter like a son.

No, with Ivanka we have pictorial evidence going back to her barely-pubescent self, that her daddy groomed her and molded into his personal ideal of femininity, in a very creepy way. Her face was remodeled early, she got substantial breast implants early. He's handsy with her in a possessive way. He boasted about her sexual attractiveness on a gross radio show.

But all this comes with perks. She gets to go where he goes, gets to play at being a CEO and presidential advisor, gets to play dress-up. As long as she does it the way he likes.

So she looks really out of place among all these highly accomplished international powers, because she's a poseur, and no matter what, still dressing like Daddy's Little Girl.

It would truly be pathetic if it were not so damned dangerous to all the rest of us.
