A new art exhibit at a Washington DC museum shows an Ivanka Trump lookalike pushing a vacuum cleaner and invites spectators to toss crumbs for her to clean up.

The art piece by Jennifer Rubell, Ivanka Vacuuming, opened on 1 February and continues through 17 February at the Flashpoint Gallery. The public is encouraged to “throw crumbs on to the carpet, watching as Ivanka elegantly vacuums up the mess, her smile never wavering”.

A large text description of the work hanging on the gallery wall describes Trump as “a figure whose public persona incorporates an almost comically wide range of feminine identities – daughter, wife, mother, sister, model, working woman, blonde”. It calls the act of throwing bread crumbs on to the carpet for her to vacuum “surprisingly pleasurable”.

But Trump and her brothers Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump criticized the exhibit on Tuesday as a sexist attempt to humiliate her.

3. Kremlin Barbie was raised as a princess

She probably has never vacuumed in her life. A little touch of Marie Antoinette would have been better. Instead of bread crumbs they should have used cake crumbs.

4. I saw the exhibit and thought it was kinda lame, but...

if it pisses off Her Ladyship, it's worthwhile.
