What hall in Tokyo looked like as Ivanka gave her speech at Japanese government womens conference






Empty seats greet Ivanka Trump at women's empowerment speech in Tokyo

..............


Officials reportedly said her speech was the most registered event of the three-day assembly, but that tight security had meant not everyone had been able to enter the hall before the doors were closed for the duration of the speeches by Abe and Trump.

However, the Guardian arrived at the hall 10 minutes before the event began and witnessed no long lines of people waiting to get in. Another attendee who entered as the doors were closing said just a handful of people were milling around outside.

a U.S. Department of Crowd Estimation.

He's just waiting for his candidate to run the department to finish his prison sentence for embezzlement.

beaming with pride as daughter Ivanka takes the stage. 😉

In addition to having his head examined, maybe we need to insist on an eye exam for the Narcissist in Chief.
