Like many at the White House, Ivanka Trump has shifted her focus to the coronavirus response prioritizing its small business efforts. Trump has long included small business and entrepreneurship as part of her West Wing portfolio, along with workforce development and women's economic empowerment ...
The Trump administration began its rollout last week of a massive $349 billion loan program, the Paycheck Protection Program, through the Small Business Administration. President Donald Trump's daughter and top adviser has been involved with the program, and on Tuesday, participated in a teleconference call with banking executives alongside her father in the Roosevelt Room.
"During recent weeks, Ivanka has been meeting on the phone with members of Congress and CEOs of the country's major financial institutions in the run up to and the launch of the PPP. Her calls to financial institutions were to encourage them to step up and support small businesses," a White House official said.
Trump has been splitting her time between her Washington home, where she and Kushner have three small children home from school, and the White House. She's been spotted on walks around her neighborhood and has posted a few selfie videos from her home, sometimes dressed in loungewear, wearing minimal makeup, and speaking softly, encouraging Americans to "be kind to one another" and "stay as positive as you possibly can."
"We'll keep fighting for you, we're gonna get through this. It's going to be brighter on the other side. And until then, we've got your back."
(President Trump has put Jared Kushner in charge of getting medical supplies where they are needed)

(29,192 posts)that right after Joe Biden is sworn in and begins his first inaugural address... he looks over at the collective Trump family (Jared, Ivanka, the idiot sons, not Tiffany who likely won't be there.. and the Donald) and says:
"America, it's been a long dark 4 years when a family of criminal despots and com artists took over the federal government. Fortunately, like many criminals, they are too stupid to succeed at being criminals. Secret Service, please arrest all of these people sitting here for various crimes my new attorney general will file in the next 24 hours!"

C'mon...you know she will.

(12,712 posts)That's going to be a catastrophe, too.
So, nepotism is now a big thing, huh? Will there be a constitutional amendment at some point concerning the automatic official status of all President's family and friends?
This is so ridiculous that it is becomes more ridiculous because it is happening at all and it's not really infuriating the entire country equally. Nepotism, despotism, you name it, it's in vogue.
Oh, and see you around democracy, it was nice knowing you. Sorry.
