Ivanka Trump is in South Korea to attend the closing ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics.

The first daughter, a senior adviser to President Trump, is leading the U.S. delegation to the ceremony on Sunday.

She said earlier this month her trip reaffirms her father's call for a "maximum pressure campaign" to denuclearize North Korea and to "reaffirm our bonds of friendship and partnership" with the South.

1. Free "Girls" trip off the taxpayers..

[Docreed2003]

2. I would really like her to express clearly

How this BS trip will do anything more than jack crap to influence ANY political policy on the Korean Peninsula...

[democratisphere]

3. Leading the US delegation? She has nothing to do with the athletes!

Can this be really happening. Politicizing the Olympic's closing ceremony?

[PoliticAverse]

5. She's not leading the athletes, she's leading the "Presidential delegation"...

to the closing ceremonies. In 2014 the person leading the US Presidential delegation was the deputy Secretary of State.

The athletes choose who leads them and this year they chose gold medal winner Jessie-Diggins.

4. She posed with a Olympic medal too?...I would be pissed if I knew how hard I'd worked to be there...

8. Always the poseur.

I can't bear her. She is the most affected and clueless person in the public.

[Donkees]

12. That's the plastic medal for plastic surgery facial expressions

[lunatica]

31. The Botox shots really work!

The only human expressions her face shows is a smile, or the lack of a smile.

There is a complete lack of any expression. I see no intelligence in her eyes. None of life’s experiences show on her face. It makes me wonder why she hides behind the perfect doll face. Is it the only way she can face the world? It’s like she’s terrified that something real will show in a slightly furrowed forehead or in sadness or anger showing?

It seems to be a predominant thing with the Trump women. If I didn’t hold them accountable for their own actions I would blame him. But I do hold them accountable for the full measure of what they do OR don’t do. I tend to do that with all adults.

15. Daddy was given a Purple Heart. Unearned honor.

Posing with it I could accept. Wearing it is stolen honor.

[Rhiannon12866]

37. That was my exact first thought, too.

Stealing honors along with everything else.

[TNNurse]

21. Someone could have choked her with that, she should be careful.

[Pachamama]

28. Is this photoshopped? OMG if it isn't....no one, especially her, deserves to wear a medal that was

.....earned with hard work and dedication and sacrifice....

[malthaussen]

30. Hey, she earned that medal just like Dad earned the Purple Heart. n/t

[Solly Mack]

35. Years from now, her children will swear she won that.

6. Some news in a sea of dismal news that brings a tiny bit of joy to me.

A well said deserved dis always gives me an uplift. What it points to doesn't.

[Cha]

7. Mahalo Gus Kenworthy.. we wonder tf

she's doing there, too.

[NRaleighLiberal]

9. I missed some events, I guess "Money Laundering Slalom?" "Grossly entitled Downhill"?

Surely, she too gold in those?

[sharedvalues]

13. +1 - I laughed out loud

[Yonnie3]

10. Is Ivanka still "working" for free? Anybody know?

If so, she is certainly worth what she is paid.

I feel a new addition to my "ought to be a law list" coming.

No person without credentials may publicly represent the USA government in any matter of import. I will need a reasonable set of credentialing requirements, starting with actual employment of the individual by the US.

[lunatica]

32. Yes. She and her husband dont get paid.

[magicarpet]

34. Ivanka and Jared are building.....

..... their political bonafides so once King Orange Shit-gibbon finishes his eight year reign, first Ivanka gets eight years for her term in the Oval Office, and then Jared gets his eight years, then Don Jr., Eric, Tiffany, and Barron all follow in succession.

The Tr-dump Dynasty will be at minimum a 100 year reign. This is what theses clowns envision - what they feel they have earned and deserve - an endless political dynasty. But in reality it is a hidden scheme to pillage and blunder from the US Treasury as many riches as possible directly into the tr-dump off shore coffers and secret bank accounts.

[Rhiannon12866]

38. Exactly. This is just the latest Trump moneymaking scheme.

[Ohiogal]

11. And Republicans complained non stop about Michelle's "frivolous" and "costly" overseas trips!

[Tanuki]

14. His earlier tweet is hilarious! I am a Gus fan from now on!

23. Wow!

The SupposedToBeBanned needed OT to get past the Germans. I hope they did drug tests on these guys.

[Lindsay]

33. Oh, that is awesome!

Thanks for posting - I woulda missed it. I am a Gus Kenworthy fan now, too.

[Scarsdale]

16. No wedding rings?

Is Jarrod in even more trouble than we know? Does she ever shut that large mouth of hers? Just because her father thinks she is something special, that does not make it so. Irritating as HELL, like her brothers Beavis and Butthead. Maybe her gold medal is for attaining more Korean endorsements for her (stolen) brands that anyone else?

[Pachamama]

29. Yes, where is Czarina Ivanka's Gold?

Good catch...

[smirkymonkey]

17. Just another stop on the Trump Family Pan-Asian Grifting Tour

Business as usual.

[dalton99a]

18. +1

19. I love me some Gus Kenworthy.

Even more than I did yesterday.

24. She is vile.

[helmedon1974]

25. How does her being there reaffirm anything?

She's just a spoiled rich kid taking advantage of her father's position...again.

[Fred Sanders]

36. Reaffirming her business interests...only countries she goes. Hard to keep up with all the

family corruption.

26. Like Pence not standing when our ally, SK, entered?

Like Pence not standing when our ally, SK, entered?

"reaffirm our bonds of friendship and partnership" with the South

And for you love is love is love kiss....
