... The incident is the latest in a growing list of ethically questionable moves made by the Trump administration. Two weeks ago, the State Departments ShareAmerica site was forced to apologize for sharing a post promoting the Winter White House, also known as Donald Trumps Florida Mar-A-Lago resort ...
... The powerful first daughter said she would be attuned to ethics concerns while promoting Women Who Work, which was released Tuesday, and decline to publicly promote it.
In light of government ethics rules, I want to be clear that this book is a personal project. I wrote it at a different time in my life, from the perspective of an executive and an entrepreneur, and the manuscript was completed before the election last November, she wrote in an April 20 Facebook post.
Out of an abundance of caution and to avoid the appearance of using my official role to promote the book, I will not publicize the book through a promotional tour or media appearances, she wrote.
"Dear Trump Family,

That would imply that tRump can just make up his own ethics because he has more experience than anyone.
I seriously feel this is the line of reasoning they took to reach the conclusion that ethics do not pertain to them.

(55,524 posts)as a woman, especially when she has so much influence on her daddy when it comes to women's health issues and Trumpcare. Her "indoors voice" is so strong and powerful. I strongly suspect that she is a guy in drag since she is definitely NOT a woman as far as I am concerned.
