Good morning Mr. President. It would never have occurred to my mother or my father to ask me. Were you giving our country away? Hoping not.



Edited to add the Trump tweet:

If Chelsea Clinton were asked to hold the seat for her mother,as her mother gave our country away, the Fake News would say CHELSEA FOR PRES!

[HipChick]

1. Great response!..

[Sabrinao]

2. Yes!

He just admitted he was giving this country away

[niyad]

30. welcome to du

[Pachamama]

3. Pow....

Excellent answer to what was a very scary statement and question by Comrade Trumpsky...

[Baitball Blogger]

4. Do you remember how ballistic the Republicans became when Hillary

tried to help out with Healthcare reform when Bill was president? Why aren't Republicans criticizing Trump more loudly and boldly?

[iluvtennis]

21. Cuz the are partisan wacks and it's party over country.

[BigmanPigman]

34. I remember very clearly. It was because she was, dare I say, a WOMAN! Oh No!

"How dare she get involved in issues her pretty little head didn't understand" was their opinion. They thought she should go back to giving tours of the W House, etc.

She always was strong and tried to not let it offend her.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

36. Because they are third grade bullies. Anything is OK...

If it's *them* doing it.

And nothing their "enemies" (other kids on the playground. Or, fellow Americans) do can EVER be OK.

[GusBob]

5. This whole thing with Ivanka was planned ahead

This was no spur of the moment fill in.

They planned this to set up her political career( he expects people to say "Ivanka for Pres&quot , or help her business career.

This whole "If Chelsea" business is just deflection. I don't think she would've even been there

[SweetieD]

6. Yeah. It was planned. I am not sure why media is going along with the lie that Ivanka only sat

in for a few minutes or that it was brief.


Supposedly she sat in on two occasions. We see two different pictures of her sitting in his seat in different rooms. But the one picture of her with the UK, Chinese, And German leaders was no accident. She intentionally sat in because it was part of the program where they discussed the womens entrepreneurship program with the world bank. So it wasn't as if she just happened to fill his seat.

[GusBob]

7. Yep. And after further consideration IF Chelsea had sat in

Everyone would be screaming hateful bloody murder. That's why HRC would never allow that to happen. Also a President Hillary Clinton understands proper diplomatic protocol

[lpbk2713]

8. Limbaugh would be apoplectic.

It would be his main story for weeks. It would become the new Benghazi.

[NewJeffCT]

13. Paul Ryan

would have called a special session of Congress to investigate this outrageous breach of protocol and the media would have been so riled up that the senate would have voted 95-5 to condemn the action

[malaise]

10. You nailed it

It's always an inversion of reality with these goons

[BlancheSplanchnik]

38. Yep. They project their own actions onto others and attack them for it.

So damn twisted. And comrade fatass has been doing that since the beginning.

[malaise]

41. The entire campaign shows that pattern

LOCK THEM UP!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

43. Yes! LOCK THEM UP!!!

Oh that would call for the biggest party EVAR!!!

[LakeArenal]

9. His defense is Chelsea Clinton....

He just can't govern on his own. He's such a loser...

No ability to focus on anything more than....ooooo that dog has a fluffy tail...

[FailureToCommunicate]

11. He's already giving our country away. But at least this time he's not blaming the black guy.

So, there's that.

[mgardener]

12. He is a liar.

The Republicans would have raised holy hell if Chelsea Clinton did 1/10 of what Trump is making Ivanka do.
There would be cries of nepotism.
We need to remember that Ivanka Trump has a BA in business. She has no political experience. She has not been vetted by Congress. Has she divested from her businesses and the family business? We know she has contact with China. What is her experiences with Russia. Is she tied in with he husband's businesses?

It is important to contact your Congress people to let them know this is not acceptable.

[NYC Liberal]

22. Dont forget Ivanka hangs out with Putin's girlfriend

http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/291465-ivanka-trump-vacationing-with-putins-rumored-girlfriend

[Beartracks]

24. It's ok because Republicans love Russia now!

This is just an amazing coincidence. Yeah, that's it.



=================

[GeoWilliam750]

35. You mean Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife?

Then the question becomes, "Why is Fox News so aggressively promoting the Russian narrative?"

[gademocrat7]

14. It is always about grifting.

Chump and his spawn are disgusting.

[PatrickforO]

15. LOL Chelsea can clearly run circles around Trump intellectually.

It is the first clause of Trump's sentence that bothers me:'

If Chelsea Clinton were asked to hold the seat for her mother,as her mother gave our country away...'

I guess it bothered Chelsea too. Seems like a Freudian slip to me.

Sigh.

Trump isn't fit to be president. Clearly he has a different agenda than making 'Murika' great. Self-aggrandizement, using the treasury to profit personally...but not at all interested in governing.

[Girard442]

19. I was told a long time ago that if you let people run their mouths, they'll tell you everything.

I've found this to be quite true. Often, you don't even have to ask.

[maddiemom]

16. Chelsea's educational credentials are easy to look up, so I won't list them...

however, I believe she has a doctorate in international relations. The Republicans still would have raised hell.

[mgardener]

28. Yes she does.

From Oxford university. Not Mississippi.

[mcar]

17. Good for her!

[jaxind]

18. Hey tRUMP...you idiot...

Hey tRUMP, you idiot...could you even imagine how the rethuglicans would have reacted if Hilary (though she never would have) had asked Chelsea to do that?? The rethuglicans would have been shouting from the rooftops, you imbecile!

[leftofcool]

20. Bam!

[nolabear]

23. Point and match.

[displacedtexan]

25. Chelsea Clinton has a PhD in International Relations.

Ivanka runs sweatshops and sells knock-off purses and shoes.

Try again, Orange Man.

[karynnj]

26. Perfect response - love the polite tone as she skewers him on his strange reference to selling out

the country.

Remember when he spoke of how any Republican running would consider Ivanka for the cabinet? He even gave her as the only example of a woman he would put in the cabinet, apparently not knowing he couldn't. http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/05/politics/clinton-trump-ivanka-cabinet/index.html

I suspect that he thinks he can spin Ivanka sitting in for him - rather than someone from his cabinet - as an attack on someone he sees as very popular. As seen by thinking she would be a popularly acclaimed choice as a cabinet member - not knowing that the law forbids that - he stills feels that everyone will see her as exceptionally qualified.

One thing Chelsea, who is someone who could be included in a future administration under a President she is not related to, makes clear is that it is NOT a matter of credentials. This was an international summit of world leaders. Ivanka could substitute for Melania at a ceremonial event -- and Chelsea could have done that as well. We are not a monarchy, there is no throne, and the Presidential offspring are not the heirs.

[Takket]

27. Here tweet has 2.5x as many likes as his too lololol

Makes sense considering only about 30 percent actually support him.

[gratuitous]

37. Point this out as often as possible

Nothing will get under President Trump's skin faster than other people being more popular than him.

[Thinkingabout]

29. Trump's thinking is very shallow, just like on the playground.

[NastyRiffraff]

31. Or the sandbox

As a child, I bet he flung the sand into other children's faces.

[SunSeeker]

32. Yes, Chelsea, Trump did give the country away. nt

[raccoon]

33. Deflection, always deflection. To say he's childish is an insult to children. nt

[Neema]

39. Great response from Clinton, but everyone knows if the tables were turned

Fox News, the GOP and their idiot minions would be SCREAMING FOR BLOOD. Virtually every day 45 commits an offense that would have caused a complete government shutdown if Clinton, or Obama or any other Democratic president did the same.

[calimary]

40. Love that Chelsea!
