(111,245 posts)This unelected, unappointed, unapproved, and supremely unqualified woman might ultimately be the flash point around which her daddy gets evicted from an office he has absolutely no intention of carrying out properly.
I have no idea why Daddy's Little Girl was sent in to sit in his chair. I do know there were likely more than a few people in his entourage who were much more qualified and entitled to do so were he indisposed.
Eventually the humiliation of being pushed out of the way in favor of Ivanka might just get someone to challenge this bullshit. That she was shoved into a chair she had no right to be in and no idea how to fill was a slap in the face to every other attendee.

WTF was it a broom closet? Is this the only place available for a full blown bilateral meeting?
Why was Sec of State present but not
McMasters /National Security or Sr Advisor on all things Russia ????
Oh look Ivanka....
