Ivanka Trump Sat In for Her Father at the G-20 Leaders' Table

____ A photo on Twitter shows Ivanka Trump sitting at her father’s place, between Chinese President Xi Jinping and British Prime Minister Theresa May. One official who was watching the session said she has taken her father’s place at the table on at least two occasions today and did not speak.

A spokesman for Ivanka Trump said she had been sitting in the back of the room and then briefly joined the main table when the president stepped out. The president of the World Bank addressed the meeting, which was about African migration and health -- areas that would benefit from a facility that Ivanka Trump and the World Bank had announced shortly before the meeting, the spokesman said.

G-20 leaders are allowed to bring staff into the room for some of the meetings, and when other leaders stepped out during today’s session, their seats were briefly filled by others. Ivanka Trump serves as an unpaid adviser to her father, as an assistant to the president.

But her presence at the table is the sort of blurring of lines -- between family and official business -- that Donald Trump is often criticized for, and it would be unusual for world leaders to have family members take their place at their table. Later in the meeting, Trump’s wife, Melania, joined the U.S. delegation in the room while the president was in the chair.

6. Can you imagine the earth shattering outrage if...

HIllary CLinton sent Chelsea to sit in for her at the G20? WTF? Why are the Democrats not raising hell. NO ONE voted for Ivanka effing Trump. NO ONE!
I am really beside myself about this and I can't for the life of me understand why our elected Democratic representatives are NOT?!?!?!?!?

[dalton99a]

14. They think they are a monarchy. This is so gross. Nt

[smirkymonkey]

15. "If she weren't my daughter, it would be so much easier for her"

If she wasn't your daughter, she would be slapping together sandwiches at a 7th avenue deli. You stupid, ignorant fuck!

Your children are useless. The only reason they aren't scraping together a living at some blue collar job is because of your money. They have no talent, no intelligence, no personality. It makes me sick that such worthless people can get so far in life.

20. If I'dbonkher weren't his daughter,

he'd probably be dating her.

[Demtexan]

23. Number 4 wife.

Creepy.

[oberliner]

16. What would happen if she became POTUS instead of him?

Interesting thought experiment, considering she is a Democrat whose best friend is Chelsea Clinton (until recently).

[bigtree]

17. she may not survive the current investigation

...which, outside of consequences for her father, has implications for her husband with a focus on his financial affairs.

She's as toxic as her daddy.

[oberliner]

18. Good point

In her favor, though, she can form coherent sentences and does not grope women against their will.

25. They are not best friends

[oberliner]

27. Chelsea Clinton & Ivanka Trump Are Basically Besties Despite Their Parents' Rivalry

"Ivanka and I talk about everything," Chelsea Clinton told ET's Kevin Frazier of Trump's eldest daughter. "I'm so grateful she's my friend. I think she's a great woman, and I support her as I support all my friends."

http://www.etonline.com/news/171979_chelsea_clinton_ivanka_trump_are_basically_besties_despite_their_parents_rivalry/

That was 2015 (which is why I added the "until recently" caveat).

[JI7]

28. There is nothing about "besties" on there

[oberliner]

29. That was the title of the article

I guess that was the headline writer at ET's assessment.

In any case, they've both called each other "very good friends" at least.

Consider "best friends" amended to "good friends".

[ananda]

19. No, 45 ...

If Ivanka were qualified and actually approved by both
the people and the Senate ....

But no, she's just a sleazy apparel racketeer.

21. no one elected Ivanka

22. substitute president

Joey‏ @60th_Street 6h6 hours ago

Chelsea Clinton can't even tweet about a kids' book, but Ivanka Trump is the substitute president. We're well past the hypocrisy rubicon.

[DefenseLawyer]

30. I always cringe when Trump starts a sentence with "If she wasn't my daughter..." n/t

[NBachers]

31. "What are you doing here? You're not qualified, and you don't belong here."
