Ivanka Trump Just Had The Most Cringeworthy Interaction With World Leaders At The G-20 Summit

Ivanka Trump Just Had The Most Cringeworthy Interaction With World Leaders At The G-20 Summit

Seems like it runs in the family.


During last week's G-20 Summit in Japan, a conversation between several world leaders was interrupted by the presence of Ivanka Trump.

A video was posted to French President Emmanuel Macron's Instagram page that documented the encounter, which quickly went viral. The cringeworthy interjection interrupted a conversation between Macron, British Prime Minister Theresa May, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and International Monetary Fund director Christine Lagarde.

All seemed to be uncomfortable with the presence of the first daughter, particularly Lagarde.

BBC journalist Parham Ghobadi reposted the video to his own Twitter page, which quickly took social media by storm. Many took note of the awkwardness, which mostly consisted of Trump attempting to stay in the conversation as May addresses the group.

She can be seen nodding and responding as May speaks, much to Lagarde's obvious dismay.

Among those who commented were Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, having some words to say about the nepotism that got Trump to where she is today.

AOC stated:

"It may be shocking to some, but being someone's daughter actually isn't a career qualification."
"It hurts our diplomatic standing when the President phones it in and the world moves on. The US needs our President working the G20."
"Bringing a qualified diplomat couldn't hurt either."

Many Twitter users had similar feelings on the situation.







Regardless of what Trump said, the other leaders made it pretty clear that they did not want her there. Many have shared the sentiment that she just didn't read the room before making a thoughtless comment.

Sounds like someone else we know...

Lauren Boebert Dragged For Leaking Photo Of Hillary Clinton's Closed Door Epstein Deposition To MAGA YouTuber

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's deposition in the Epstein case had to be paused yesterday after Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert secretly snapped a photo of her and sent it to right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson—who then immediately posted it online.

Clinton, who along with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had insisted on testifying publicly regarding matters tied to the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, faced hours of questioning in a closed-door deposition after Republican Chair of the House Oversight Committee refused to make their depositions public.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Trolls Kash Patel With Epic Zing Over 'Heated Rivalry' Airbnb Listing

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's FBI Director, Kash Patel, is facing backlash over his taxpayer-funded locker room booze fest at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy.

Patel flew to Italy on a taxpayer-funded FBI plane despite having repeatedly criticized his predecessors for such excursions throughout 2023 and 2024. But an FBI spokesperson claimed it was not a personal trip because Patel met with Italian law enforcement and the U.S. ambassador to Italy during his visit.

Woman Speaks Out In Viral TikTok After Company Expects Her To Train 25-Year-Old They Promoted Over Her

TikToker @theunobsolete felt that she was passed over for a promotion due to her age and salary requirements, despite being qualified, while a fresh-out-of-grad-school candidate with no experience was given the role instead.

We've all heard the advice to "travel light," but packing only one sock for a flight might be taking it a bit far.

But in all actuality, TikToker @laysuperstar's brother, Hugh, did not only pack a singular sock for his trip, even if that's what the airport baggage claim would like you to believe.
