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.

MAGA Senator Faces Backlash For Dodging Question About High Beef Prices—And People Are Having A Cow

Mississippi Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith is facing backlash after dodging a question about high beef prices amid the nationwide affordability crisis and telling WLOX news viewers that they have "so many proteins to choose from."

Last month, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed that food prices were coming down, even as the Consumer Price Index shows grocery costs rose 0.7% in December. Beef, which Rollins elevated near the top of the food pyramid in the dietary guidelines she recently unveiled, increased 1% over the month and was up 16.4% compared with a year earlier.
