http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/28/news/ivanka-trump-china-trademarks/index.htmlIvanka Trump has scored a batch of new trademarks in China as her father continues trade talks with Beijing.
Seven trademarks were officially registered to Ivanka Trump this month with China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce, according to the government's trademark database. They are for items such as kitchenware, furniture, paper products and cosmetics.
The approvals come as President Donald Trump remains engaged in trade negotiations with China on a wide range of issues.
Ethics experts say this raises conflict-of-interest concerns, since Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, both serve as senior advisers in the White House.
"They come at a time when her father and his administration, in which she and her husband work, are making enormously consequential decisions with and about China," said Norm Eisen, the former ethics chief for President Barack Obama and a CNN contributor.
"The conflict comes because we do not know if the Trump administration is making these official decisions [on China] to benefit the US, or to get more trademarks and other benefits for the Trump family," he added.

still her company.
The really scary, or disgusting, thing is that no one in that family even understands how wrong this is. A proper crook should have the common decency to admit what he is.
(Maybe Melanoma does, that's why she's hiding.)

She is just as corrupt and disgusting as her father. It's no wonder he adores her so much. She is exactly like him. I can't wait to see her in prison.
