Ed. - Fucking beyond belief - Daddy's going to gut science, research and regulations, but Ivanka's going to tiptoe around the country in $10,000 shoes and tell us all just how much she cares.
In September, as Donald Trump railed against the media and sold himself as the candidate of the forgotten man, Ivanka Trump ventured into the lair of the liberal media and power elite that was laughing at her father.
She jetted off to Aspen with her husband, Jared Kushner, to attend Weekend with Charlie Rose, an off-the-record gathering at which 90 percent of invitees were Trump haters. The annual event is typically filled with Nobel laureates, former government officials, royalty from abroad, business moguls and celebrity chefs who engage in intimate foreign- and economic-policy discussions, coupled with outdoor bonding activities like tennis and fly fishing. Harvey Weinstein, who hosts the Clintons in the Hamptons, added a Hollywood touch this year.
EDIT
And the ambitious daughter, who once plotted her career around international brand domination, is planning to take on an even heavier lift. Ivanka wants to make climate change which her father has called a hoax perpetuated by the Chinese one of her signature issues, a source close to her told Politico. The source said Ivanka is in the early stages of exploring how to use her spotlight to speak out on the issue. Advocating opposition to CO2 emissions and fossil fuels will inevitably create another warring sphere of influence in Trumps orbit: Incoming Chief of staff Reince Priebus has clarified in recent days that Trumps default position on climate change is that most of it is a bunch of bunk.
But no one is closer to Trump than his eldest daughter, and it would not be the first traditionally liberal position she has tried preaching to conservatives. At the Republican National Convention in July, Ivanka championed pay equity and parental leave, family issues she intends to continue pushing from what will likely be a unique platform that represents her role as an adviser, a surrogate and functional first lady. The issues shes talking about are ones shes always talked about, said a source close to Ivanka. These are totally consistent with what shes developed with her brand. She is playing a critical role in being able to have issues that moderate and liberal women care about and creating a bridge to the other side.

(47,953 posts)Have somebody (Trump or associates of him) act all moderate and bipartisan, while appointing cabinet members who are proven extremists. Muddy the issue, give the media a distraction they can latch onto while the real damage is being done.
And don't forget to send out lots of outrageous tweets while quietly stabbing large slices of the electorate in the back through your butt-buddies in Congress.
