Ivanka Trump's White House Gig Is an Insult to Working Women

Ubi bene ibi patria
" Ivanka Trump sits with foreign dignitaries during important meetings, is setting up an office in the White House, is being issued government communications devices, and is seeking national security clearance. What’s she doing exactly? Nobody knows. What qualifies her? Apparently, being the president’s daughter.

There’s a word for this: nepotism. And it makes everything Ivanka has done up to this point to position herself as an example for working women into a farce. By taking this role, Ivanka is taking away a life-changing opportunity from another woman, who undoubtedly would have more expertise than the first daughter.

Trump’s spinners will argue the arrangement is not a violation of federal nepotism laws because Ivanka is not being given a salary or title — a stunning symbol of privilege in itself. Ivanka’s too wealthy to need the salary and too well-known to need a title, a slap in the face to women who have toiled for years, for little pay, hoping to work up the ladder and obtain a White House job one day.

If Ivanka Trump were not the president’s daughter, would she be given a White House office to perform a job that has no description? Of course not. Don’t believe me? Just try calling the White House and asking if you can have some gratis work space at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., one of the most coveted real estate properties on the planet.

More worrisome, Ivanka’s White House entrance shows how willing the Trump White House is to flout laws that apply to everyone else. With the appointment of Jared Kushner, Ivanka’s husband, as a senior adviser, the White House stated it did not believe federal nepotism laws should apply to the White House. The laws, they said, were only meant for agency appointments. When the president has been questioned about the conflicts of interest his businesses pose to his duties as president, Trump has said, “The president can’t have a conflict of interest.” The double standards are dubious.

Cosmo, of all magazines, busting on a woman's competency and griping when they come into a position of responsibility.

Go back to teaching better blow jobs, Cosmo. You're not good at this adulting thing.

On the up-side, it's the first time in 30 years they've written a piece that required more than changing the title.

Ivanka Trump's White House Gig Is an Insult to Working Women

Pink Pussy Hatted women are OK.. women dressed as Vaginas.. OK..

Women setting back women's rights 30 or 49 years are OK.. A president screwing an intern is held in high regard.. while destroying the woman's life..

Degrading and destroying anyone that accused that same President of sexual assault and rape..

But a woman that looks and acts professional, is a competent business person and is working towards a purpose with meaning and authority.. THAT'S A DISGRACE???

WTF is wrong with you people??

Damn :I never knew that placing your daughter in an office where you work, and not paying her was against the law.

These people who are after Trump can come up with the gotdamndest BS.

All this BS over Ivanka and nepotism when we see Chelsea Clinton getting fabulous jobs at fabulous salaries, and not one word said.

So, the alternative would be for Trump to hire someone he knows; and you lefties would be calling it 'cronyism'. :bigwhoop:
No... Hes supposed to fill the White House with traitorous, vile, corrupt demonrats so they will be nice to him.

F'EM.

When it starts, let nary a marxist slip by.

According to Obama you fill it with Muslims and a vile woman named Valerie Jarrett, and your Mother in law.
 
Here is an article from 2014... before it was cool to trash Ivanka.... http://fortune.com/2014/10/15/ivanka-trumps-workplace-revolution/

In 2010, Trump launched her own company, Ivanka Trump Apparel and Accessories with a line of footwear. Since then, it has expanded into 11 different product lines sold in Nordstrom, Macy’s, Bloomingdale's along with 300 more locations. As Trump has built out the company -- and hired a small group of employees -- she has kept an eye on how the corporate culture supports women like herself who are juggling young kids at home. On top of running her own clothing company, Trump is also executive vice president of development and acquisitions for her father Donald's real estate empire, the Trump Organization. At Trump, Ivanka spearheads top projects like the highly competitive $200 million deal with the U.S. government to redevelop the Old Post Office in Washington D.C.

And if you go read the article you will see her management style... which was pretty damn empowering.

Again, only the women on the left are to be praised and admired and held in high regard. Women on the right...not so much. Typical hypocrite behavior!!

What it boils down to is, women who demand praise, typically haven't done anything to deserve it. Women who deserve it, have no need to demand it. That's it. No recognition because they have obviously not done anything to have earned it.

Didn't see you complain about Chelsea collecting a paycheck. Paying of her mortgage god knows what else.

She gets an Award for being on political welfare?

LMAO Chelsea just got an award from Variety Magazine for being forced to take a six figure salary from her parents foundation.
Life time achievement for following Momma around and living off the tails of her pants suits.

What was their reasoning when Hillary started the whole Hillarycare thing? An un-elected - and un-fireable person doing something so huge regarding our country?
