First Daughter Ivanka Trump garners a lot of criticism.

From her unqualified position as a White House adviser to her and husband Jared Kushner's $135 million earnings while on the White House staff to her attending and interrupting meetings with world leaders to trademarks and patents for voting machines and other products from China—all exempt from daddy's tariffs—liberals and conservatives find plenty to call out about Ivanka's job at the White House.


Now the former head of the United States Office of Government Ethics is calling a trip by Ivanka to Dubai a corporate event funded by taxpayers. The Trump Organization is promoting the third anniversary of their Dubai golf club and Ivanka's visit.


People once again noted that President Donald Trump and Republicans made much of a private citizen being hired by a private company while his father was Vice President.

FYI, that's favoritism on the part of the private company for hiring the child of a famous person, not nepotism by the parent.

Let's take a closer look at that mountain next to the mole hill.

Others pointed out Ivanka's lack of training, credentials or qualifications to be an official spokesperson for the United States at gatherings of international world leaders.

Others once again asked, what exactly is Ivanka's job at the White House?




Trump currently faces a lawsuit for violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

It bars federal officials from accepting payments from foreign interests or governments. The clause guards against conflicts of interest when a President decides between personal profits and the interests of the nation.

The Trump Organization has plans for a second golf course in Dubai.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
