Shameless outsourcer Ivanka Trump hides during White House’s “Made in America” week

Ivanka Trump, who has made millions selling clothing made abroad, has avoided the public as the Trump administration promotes “Made in America” week.

She skipped multiple White House events discussing the importance of manufacturing goods within the United States, and CNN notes, “She has been relatively absent all week, save for glimpses on her social media channels.”

Upon joining the White House as an assistant to her father, Ivanka declined to divest from her ownership in her fashion line. Instead, she continues to profit from the company, in an arrangement that is similar to the unethical system under which her father continues to personally profit from his presidency.

As Donald Trump pounds the table in favor of American labor, his daughter’s company is importing tons of clothing that was made in China.

In concert with the White House announcement, Trump’s re-election campaign, “Donald Trump for President, Inc.,” issued a press release touting the fact that they have “proudly produced and manufactured all of our merchandise right here in America from day one.”

With all of the heat on her hubby and brother, plus recent mini-scandals (Champaign popsicles, going on Fox and saying they were treated viciously, sitting in dad's seat at G20).

I would say she's trying to stay out of public view.

idiot father and the new mobster on board cementing the deal for the communications job. I imagine Ivanka, like Nancy Reagan before her, hangs around to bail out the mentally impaired relative.

Prominent Wall Street financier Anthony Scaramucci has accepted the position of White House communications director offered to him by President Donald Trump, sources confirm to ABC News.

Scaramucci is replacing Mike Dubke, who resigned in May only three months after being hired.

Axios first reported the planned hiring of Scaramucci.

Senior members of the White House staff, including press secretary Sean Spicer, were unaware that Scaramucci was being considered for the post, even as President Trump and first daughter Ivanka Trump were meeting with Scaramucci at the White House Thursday for over an hour to discuss the job.

A White House official told Reuters that the financier was interviewed by Mr Trump on Friday morning, and that the job was duly offered and accepted. The president's daughter Ivanka Trump was said to have attended the 30-minute meeting.

Trump family ties

The New York Times says the Harvard-educated entrepreneur is close to Mr Trump's eldest son, Donald Jr, and respected by Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner - a senior adviser to the president.
